Applications are now open for faculty from all campuses for the spring 2024 WORD Fellows program.
Over 12 weeks throughout the semester, faculty who use writing in courses — or want to integrate writing into courses — will engage with peers and experts to explore practical and simple approaches to teaching with writing. WORD faculty fellows will learn to spend less time for more impact on assigning and evaluating writing.
Those who complete the program and develop at least one scaffolded writing assignment to use in class will receive a $750 stipend from the WSU Writing Program, home of the WORD Fellows program.
The 2024 WORD Fellows cohort of 8–10 faculty members will learn to design, develop, and implement more effective writing assignments, instruction, and assessment. Cohorts in 2021, 2022, and 2023 have already completed the program and are using their knowledge in courses across the university.
One Fellow reported the program was “tremendously valuable” and that “it provided new strategies.”
Depending on the needs of the cohort, workshops will be held either in-person, online, or as hybrid, with the day-and-time schedule to be determined once new Fellows are accepted. More information about the program and the online application is on the website.
