Teaching Resources

This introduction to writing across the curriculum provides an overview of key concepts, offers advice based on research, theory, and practice, and provides examples and materials that will support the effective use of writing in courses across the disciplines.

The WAC Clearinghouse teaching guides are designed for writing teachers and for teachers of other subjects who want to use writing and speaking activities in their classrooms. 

The Clearinghouse offers access to a number of books that provide guidance to instructors who assign writing in their courses. Topics addressed include, among others, designing writing assignments, teaching grammar and style, conducting writing conferences, and using writing-to-learn activities effectively.

These links point to web-based resources for writing instructors and instructors who use writing assignments in their courses.

The WAC Clearinghouse and the University of Delaware offer a collection of "tipsheets" for faculty development as a general resource for anyone doing workshops or seeking good advice to distribute to college faculty. They advance both writing to learn and writing in the disciplines approaches.
