Call for Proposals / Presenters

Teachers in all content areas, at all levels, ask their students to write (and read). How can we move beyond seeing this as an obligation or a frustration and instead see writing and reading as ways of thinking and learning?

​Another way to look at it: language across the curriculum. Humans use language to tell stories, share information, discuss ideas, and imagine possibilities, whether it’s in science, history, geography, art, music, math, civics, or health.

​We invite teachers in all these disciplines to share their experiences incorporating writing as a way of learning and thinking about the discipline–and across disciplines. ​

Consider the following prompts: 

• (Why) Does writing across the curriculum still matter?
• How do we revive the excitement around reading and writing in our content areas/disciplines? 
• What new possibilities exist in terms of exploring the connections among thinking,  learning, and writing?
• How do we teach ourselves and our students to discover and communicate what we care about in the world? 
• How have you addressed writing in your content area/discipline? 
• What does “Writing Across the Curriculum” mean in the context of your school/district? 
• What does “Writing Across the Curriculum” mean in the context of your content area/discipline? 
• How can content areas/disciplines collaborate to deepen engagement in learning through writing?
