Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Through the K-12 Writing Certificate, educators develop a deep and broad knowledge of writing instruction, expertise in using and helping others use effective instructional practice, and the ability to support efforts that help all K-12 students improve in writing. The K-12 Writing Certificate answers a joint call by the National Council of Teachers of English, the National Writing Project, and most recently the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to develop writing specialists to enhance the teaching, learning, and assessment of writing to improve student achievement. Each course examines research based practices in writing instruction along with a study of teacher as writer. There is a continuous process of studying students and their work in order to strengthen teaching and learning.
