Teaching Writing Beyond “College and Career Ready” and High School
Paul Thomas, Furman University
Session E.9/ 2:50-3:35
Yeamans 2
Teaching high school students to write, traditionally and in the era of “college and career ready,” often fails to prepare students either for college writing or real-world writing. This session will invite a conversation about how students are taught to write in high school English (highlighting AP and test-prep) in the context of disciplinary writing in college as well as so-called authentic writing beyond formal education.
