Getting to know your students as writers not only fosters a sense of belonging in the classroom, but also provides valuable insight into how their writing backgrounds, interests, and goals might intersect with the work you assign. In this session, we’ll explore ways to build rapport with students and adapt examples of low-effort strategies to fit your needs. Taking a little time to get to know your students as writers now will pay off as the semester unfolds.

Would you like your students to better understand your assignment instructions? This workshop provides an overview of Transparency in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (TILT), a research-supported framework focused on clearly communicating an assignment's purpose, task, & criteria. This framework has been shown to positively affect student learning, motivation, and confidence, especially for first-generation students, low-income students, and students of color. During this session, we’ll share examples of this framework in practice and start the groundwork to “TILT” two of your own assignments.
