Workshops

Writing Intensive instructors and teaching assistants are required to attend the Writing Intensive Faculty and/or TA workshops, if not before teaching then within one calendar year of being assigned to teach a WI course. For teaching assistants, these workshops are in addition to any other required trainings at the unit or campus level.

If the Faculty Workshop is not feasible, faculty members can seek an alternative path to WI certification through a professional development plan coordinated with the Campus Writing Program staff. Every five years, WI instructors are required to attend a refresher workshop, monthly seminar, study group, or CWP approved alternative.

The Campus Writing Program hosts the formal Faculty WI Training twice a year:

• In person in August the week before fall classes start -and-
• Virtually in January the week before spring classes start.

Find all of our upcoming events on the CWP Calendar.
