Topics include:

  • Why writing matters - the theoretical underpinnings
  • The role of informal and low-stakes writing both in and out of class
  • Building a formal writing product using scaffolding techniques
  • Developing meaningful rubrics for evaluating writing products
  • Providing students with feedback on their writing in the context of a STEM classroom

Community college workforce and economic development efforts, now more than ever, require collaboration and cooperation across policies, practices, initiatives, partners, and funders. These critical intersections serve to build a sustainable, inclusive and forward thinking workforce. Further intersecting is the work our professional community does with foundation, industry, and federal partners in effectively serving our students.


Please join us at AACC’s Workforce Development Institute 2018: Exploring Intersections. We welcome attendees to explore their own intersections and create new ones while sharing best practices and promising solutions as we build a nation of learners.
