WID Faculty Fellowship
In addition to
workshops and retreats,
Montgomery
College
faculty have an opportunity specialize further in writing as a
teaching and learning tool. With the
support of the Center for Teaching and Learning, a selected group of
fifteen fellows meet for one semester to discuss key issues in
writing and to conduct research on best practices in writing in
their disciplines. Fellows also
create sample rubrics, assignments, and lesson plans for one or more
courses they teach regularly. The
fellows remain members of WID long after the semester ends, serving
as contacts and resources and assisting with workshops.
Faculty
are granted the equivalent of one standard course (3 ESH) for their
semester’s work. The intensive study of
writing entailed in this fellowship helps faculty attain a level of
expertise that makes them excellent resources for their disciplines,
academic areas, and departments.
Collegiality and
useful resources are par for the course.

WID fellows create
new teaching materials that support incorporating writing into their
discipline. These materials include:
-
formal and
informal writing assignments
-
peer review
assignments and forms
-
rubrics
-
annotated
bibliographies of best practices for writing in their
disciplines
-
reflective
narratives that consider how each new teaching tool relates to
course objectives.
Fellows generously
share the products of their work with the College community, so that
other faculty can use them as well.
You may also contact them with any questions about their
materials.
