This interdisciplinary guide encourages faculty to use both formal and informal writing to promote deeper learning and problem solving. Using concentric thinking as a theoretical framework, the text outlines a systematic set of cognitive tasks that guide faculty to create and link writing assignments in ways that promote learning and deepen student understanding. Chapters are designed to be participatory and faculty are guided to apply the concentric thinking framework to a real course they will be teaching. The authors explain how to integrate writing into teaching and learning by scaffolding course readings, assignments and assessments in ways that foster classroom dialogue and create a powerful, student-centered learning experience.
Key Features:
Examines the relationship between critical thinking and writing
Emphasizes cognitive tasks that are inherent to good reading, writing, and thinking
Outlines tools and methods to deepen students’ understanding and enhance engagement
How to Use Writing for Teaching and Learning is an invaluable resource for faculty across the social sciences, humanities and business and management.
