This specialization will provide learners with proven methods to improve the writing of students of all ages, in all situations, including K through University classrooms as well as homeschooling, tutoring, in business and the private sector. In four courses and a final project, you’ll learn effective theories and practices to teach writing that you can adapt to your own teaching situation and needs. You’ll learn how to teach writing as process, how to reach even the most reluctant writers, how to help students construct specific texts and make the reading/writing connection, and how to respond to and assess student writing in ways that are meaningful to both teacher and student. If you use writing in your teaching, or want to, this specialization will provide you with tools and practices you can use with your students right away.

Projeto de Aprendizagem Aplicada

Learners will examine and adapt best practices in the teaching of writing to meet their own students’ needs and situations, regardless of grade level, discipline or skill level. They will create activities and lesson plans designed to help their students improve their writing skills, and will reflect on the theories and values that guide their teaching.

Teaching Writing Process

Half a century ago, a revolution took place in the teaching of writing. Educators asked, “What if we were to study how professional writers wrote, as a way to learn how we might teach writing more effectively?” The result was the writing process movement, with its emphasis on not just writing as product but as process. Good writing doesn’t magically appear, nor does it spring from the brain fully formed and perfect the first time. Instead, all writers engage in a process, and while that process can vary writer to writer, some stages do seem to apply, in some way, to almost every writing situation. This course demonstrates how teaching writing as process can lead to a significant increase in students’ comfort level and confidence as writers. Learners will examine methods for teaching writing as discovery, and for using low-stakes writing and reflection in their classes. They’ll fill their toolbox with practical strategies and techniques for teaching writing to students of any age, in any situation.

Teaching Reluctant Writers

All educators will encounter students who struggle with writing. This course first focuses on the reasons student writers may be reluctant and then provides learners with a variety of strategies and practices to help reluctant writers develop a greater comfort and confidence with writing. Learners will examine classroom relationships, mentoring, scaffolding, conferencing, low-risk writing and mini-lessons, all tools and techniques that can be brought right into the classroom to help struggling writers increase student participation and success in writing. They'll conduct their own study of one reluctant writer and use their learning to help create a plan for teaching reluctant writers in their current and future classrooms.

Teaching Texts and Forms

The first job of any writer is to get words down on paper, and teaching writing as process helps students gain the fluency, comfort and confidence they need to succeed at any writing task. But complex, comprehensive writing tasks often bring with them specific expectations and conventions the writer must address to be successful. This course will examine some of those more comprehensive writing tasks: personal essays; argument, analysis and other forms of transactional writing; and creative writing. Learners will also identify strategies for supporting the reading/writing connection and practical assignments for engaging students in writing around texts.

Responding, Revising and Assessing Student Writings

When writers write, readers respond. Responding to student writing gives teachers one of the most meaningful avenues to help students learn and grow. In this module, learners will identify best practices in effectively responding to student writing. You will also define revision, identify how revision differs from editing, and examine strategies for teaching students how to engage in effective revision. Finally, because writing can also be used for testing, and because all students learn in increments over time, learners will identify a number of strategies for evaluating and assessing student writing, both for individual writings and a student writer’s progress over a period of time. Learners will also consider ways to involve students in both the responding and assessment processes. At the conclusion of this course, learners will have a toolbox full of strategies and practices for these three significant components of any writing class: responding to, revising and assessing student writing.

Este curso é totalmente on-line, então não existe necessidade de aparecer em uma sala de aula pessoalmente. Você pode acessar suas palestras, leituras e atribuições a qualquer hora e qualquer lugar, via web ou dispositivo móvel.
Quanto tempo é necessário para concluir a Especialização?
Each course contains three or four modules, and each module should take one week to complete. The specialization has sixteen modules total, so learners should plan on 16 to 18 weeks total time.
What background knowledge is necessary?
Teaching experience is helpful but not necessary. An interest in teaching, plus a desire to use writing in some capacity in your teaching, will allow you to earn the greatest benefits.
Do I need to take the courses in a specific order?
It's best if you take the first course, "Teaching Writing as Process," first, since they provides a framework for the other courses. After completing the first course, you may take the other courses in any order you wish, with the Final Project being taken last.
Vou ganhar créditos universitários por concluir a Especialização?
Completing the Specialization does not include university credit.
What will I be able to do upon completing the Specialization?
If you teach now, you'll be able to incorporate new strategies and practices to help improve your students' writing. You may be able to use the Specialization courses for professional development credit at your school. You may also become a teacher leader who can share what you have learned about teaching writing with your colleagues. If you're hoping to teach in the future, you will bring an impressive understanding of the theories and practices behind teaching writing to any job interview, along with the confidence that comes with entering your classroom with a full toolbox of ways to teach writing.
I have no teaching experience. Will I be able to do everything asked in the courses?

Absolutely. You don’t need teaching experience to do everything asked, and to benefit from these courses. We’ll provide options such as “what do you do (in a particular situation), or what would you do once you begin teaching?” Even if you’re not a teacher yet, we ask you only to begin to think like a teacher. If you have some idea of what grade level or subject you’d like to teach in the future, so much the better, but even that isn’t necessary.
I teach privately but not in an academic setting. Can I benefit from this specialization?

Yes. Everything in these courses is geared toward providing the flexibility for you to adapt the learning to your own personal situation. For example, we might talk about the value of and best practices for using a mentor text with your students. The core principles taught will be the same for everyone, but clearly, the mentor text a fourth-grade teacher chooses will be different from one a twelfth-grade teacher chooses, and different as well from what someone teaching in a private setting might select.
I’m not an English teacher. I teach Science, but I’d like my students to write more. Will this specialization help me?

Definitely. All you need is the desire to use writing in your classes, regardless of the discipline you teach. It’s especially exciting – and rewarding for their students – when non-English or Language Arts teachers bring writing into their content areas. In these courses, you’ll learn techniques and practices to add to your already existing toolbox, and you might discover some new ideas as well. The key is in staying on the lookout for ways to adapt what you’re learning to your own specific discipline and situation.
I teach writing, but I don’t enjoy doing it myself. Will I have to do much writing in these courses?

There will be a fair amount of writing in each of these courses, via Discussion prompts and Peer Review assignments. However, you’ll be given clear instructions for all the writing you’re asked to do, and we’ll start small, with non-stressful, low-risk writings to help you grow more comfortable with writing. You might even find some of the techniques covered in the Specialization’s second course, “Teaching Reluctant Writers,” will work for you as well. Even if a particular writing seems to ask you to step outside your comfort zone, use it as a learning experience, a way to put yourself in your students’ shoes when they are given a writing assignment that challenges them as well. You can learn a lot about teaching writing from exploring your own writing. You don’t have to want to be a professional writer; you just have to be willing to give everything a try.
I’ve been teaching writing for twenty years. How can this specialization help me?

I believe it will. While you may be familiar with many of the concepts taught in these courses, you’ll likely add new tools to your toolbox and perhaps gain a new perspective on some of those familiar practices. Each course contains additional readings for those who want to go a bit beyond the required course material, and the flexibility we emphasize in our courses should allow you to focus on those theories and practices that will be most valuable for you. There’s no doubt you’ll have a lot to offer your fellow learners, and you might feel a renewed energy from being among an enthusiastic learning community.
