Date, time, place: <\/strong>Wednesday May 22nd, from 3:00 – 4:00 PM via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description: <\/strong>Research shows that low-stakes writing exercises in the classroom provide many benefits to students, including better course knowledge retention. But negative experiences with academic writing, perfectionist tendencies, or low confidence can make many students feel anxious about writing in any context. In this co-led workshop, Georgia Wright and Casey Dawson will discuss student writing anxieties and share strategies for making your classroom an inviting, judgment-free space for writing. Attendees will gain practical tools to improve their students’ relationship to writing in the classroom and beyond, and to increase student participation in writing activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
