As the University of Minnesota's Writing Across the Curriculum Director and the Center for Writing's Associate Director, I work with faculty members, graduate teaching assistants, and affiliate instructors who are interested in considering the ways they go about integrating writing instruction into their content courses. My approach is to begin by eliciting instructors' context concerns (disciplinary uses for writing, specific course outcomes, teaching styles, and so forth) and then fitting strategies for writing instruction to these contextual concerns. Current venues for these discussion include one-on-one consultations, departmental discussions, workshops on teaching concerns, and “Teaching with Writing,” an annual, week-long seminar for instructors. I also edit and author materials for instructors. These include general materials that support teaching with writing, materials that support teaching with writing in specific disciplines, and the Center's on-line newsletter, Write @ U.
