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.

The contents are relevant and very useful, nothing to complain about that. Peer reviews is the worst thing that could have happened to this course, very few students so there are no assignments to review and of course, no one to review your assignments. That discourages a lot.
It's difficult to get one's assignments peer reviewed and likewise - probably very few students enrol for the course. That was a bit of a disappointment.

i like it but it is a non-credit one
This course effectively explained various approaches to teaching writing that will help students tackle all writing assignments, such as providing low-stakes writing opportunites, breaking down the writing process, and use of reflective writing. I was surprised by how much more approachable writing and teaching writing feel after completing the course. Thank you!
This is an excellent course! I have learned so much, and the Discussion Prompts and Graded Writing Assignments are quite thought-provoking. I know this course will be helpful to me in the future, and I look forward to taking the other courses in the Teaching Writing Specialization.
Thank you Prof. Farrington. You helped me see the writing process from a very different perspective. I enjoyed all the videos, and very useful information for this course. The assignments were challenging but they brought out the creativity in me.
This is an excellent course, I have learned so much about teaching writing and I'm believed that I'm really helping my students.
Solid course! It was ideal for a newcomer teacher like myself, but I noticed other advanced peers getting good value from it.
Muy útil para aquellos que deseen repensar sus prácticas docentes en ejercicios de escritura.
