We’re delighted to consult with colleagues across campus about the shared endeavor of teaching writing at Princeton, including how to:

• Craft clear assignment prompts that empower student’s most generative writing.
• Integrate writing strategically throughout the semester to deepen student engagement with course material. 
• Incorporate low-stakes exercises in class to harness the teaching potential of writing as thinking.
• Develop a plan for guided peer review that usefully complements the instructor’s own feedback. 
• Facilitate productive in-class draft workshops. 
• Mentor students through sequenced stages of the research and writing process as they learn the practices of a specific discipline.
• Provide effective written feedback. 
• Calibrate grades using a shared set of grading criteria across large courses with multiple instructors.
• Teach examples of strong writing to help students develop an awareness of how it’s constructed.  
• Analyze student writing from a course to identify patterns of strengths and weaknesses that might suggest useful pedagogical interventions.
