Teaching Writing at LaGuardia

Resources for Faculty


WELCOME

Our Writing Program fosters a journey of transformation for all student levels. Writing is a foundation for students’ intellectual engagement in the humanities and their participation in a democratic society. To strengthen this foundation, faculty employ inclusive pedagogies that address the diversity of our student population. Our writing courses focus on the integration of reading and writing, using culturally diverse texts to connect critical close reading practices with interpretive claims. Students gain a deeper understanding of the writing process by exploring the relationship between rhetoric and genre, in addition to interrogating digital/multimodal writing practices and contexts. Courses pay significant attention to revision and collaborative student learning.

Student Learning Objectives?

Program Learning Objectives?

Pathways Learning Objectives?

Each of our courses has a set of Student Learning Objectives that our Composition Committee, the Department, and the College’s Curriculum have agreed on.

The Program Learning Objectives are a set of objectives that the Writing Program uses to assess growth and development across the Writing Program.

The Pathways Learning Objectives were approved by the CUNY Board of Trustees and make transfer within CUNY colleges easier.

You can learn more about these on the main course page for each course you teach.
