TE 848
TE 848 was a course that taught you to understanding of current research of writing pedagogy and the strategies to examine individual assumptions about writing pedagogy. I gained the ability to design and implement strategies for teaching and assessing my students writing. I felt that much of the knowledge gained in this course made me a better teacher of writing. When learning to understand the rationale behind writing for specific content areas one is able to assess more accurately. I was about to use my abilities to differentiate writing instruction for diverse learners at various stages of development. In a classroom there are many different writers and learners. I benefited from this course because I was taught to acknowledge that and teach those students what they needed. We really learned to develop our own identity as writers and teachers of writing.
