Teachers Talking Writing: Perspectives on Places, Pedagogies, and Programs - Paperback

by Shane A. Wood (Author)

Teachers Talking Writing (TTW) is a collection of conversations with real teachers with diverse backgrounds and experiences about the theory and practice of teaching writing in postsecondary contexts.

This composition anthology focuses on practices and pedagogies in the 21st century. TTW is interconnected with Pedagogue, a podcast hosted by Shane Wood about teaching writing that centers listening to teachers talk about their experiences, their work, inspirations, assignments, assessments, successes, and challenges.

TTW offers fifty-two teacher-scholar perspectives on composition and rhetoric across institutions, contexts, and positions and celebrates the labor teachers do inside and outside the classroom.
