WAC Institute for Community Colleges 2011
"Creating a Culture of Writing: What Works"
On June 22-24, 2011, MCC-Longview will host a Writing Across the Curriculum Institute for Community Colleges, a focused, collegial opportunity for community college WAC directors, discipline faculty, and administrators to learn practical strategies for starting and sustaining a WAC program in a community college or two-year college setting.
The institute offers a unique professional development experience for those seeking to design or launch a WAC program and as well as for those who have established a program and want to keep it energized and plan for its continued growth.
This highly interactive gathering of community college personnel includes panels of experienced faculty and administrators discussing issues critical to WAC and provides a mix of plenary, workshop, and discussion sessions on these topics:
- selecting a program model and design
- determining program features
- ensuring effective engagement of faculty
- troubleshooting existing or potential challenges
- designing general education writing assessment
- sustaining a program
Where will the institute be held? On Longview's beautiful campus in Lee's Summit, MO, a suburb in the Kansas City metro area with lodging and amenities near campus.
