About

The Pedagogical Development Committee (PDC) has created this site as a resource for Writing Program Faculty. It contains a blog and a website.

The goals of this website align with the charge of the PDC committee, which is to create opportunities and resources that support the teaching of writing, including:

  • the promotion of publishing and conference opportunities;
  • the fostering of pedagogical development opportunities (reading circles, brown bag presentations, workshops); and
  • the creation of mentoring/orientation for faculty at multiple points in their careers. 

The Pedagogical Development Committee will also collaborate as needed with other Writing Program committees.

Committee Members: Lisa Schilz (Chair); Steve Coulter, Madeline McKinley, Kate McQueen, Dina El Dessouky
Emerti: Denise Silva, Brenda Sanfilippo, Joy Hagen, Ingrid Moody Lariviere, Jessie Dubreuil, Amy Vidali

Six squares about being a teacher: what my friends think I do (preschool teaching); what my mom thinks I do (Einstein at a blackboard); what society thinks I do (three women on a coffee date); what kids think I do (Snape teaching); what I think I do (Good Will Hunting); what I really do (someone covers their face near a stack of papers)
