Join us for a symposium that provides high school English teachers and college writing teachers a chance to discuss common practices and shared goals. Look forward to collaborative conversations about the teaching of writing, assignments, and assessments. Become better informed about your students’ future writing expectations and how you can prepare them for the challenges of writing in college courses.
The fall 2025 symposium will feature keynotes and sessions focused on writing expectations, instruction, and assessment; the afternoon will focus on teaching writing in the age of AI. Presenters include instructors from UW-Madison, UW-Whitewater, and Madison College.
We hope you will join us for this valuable opportunity to consider how we can support our student writers as they make the transition between high school and college!
