Take a look at the new PWR
newsletter to get the latest PWR news. You can also check out committee
reports, teaching tips, upcoming conferences, and more.
While the Teaching
Resources pages have been created with new instructors in mind,
even experienced instructors may benefit from the wealth of online guides
to designing syllabi, assignments, writing exercises, and evaluation
criteria. There are also sections on ESL, Access, and Teaching with
Technology. We are also in the process of creating a Showcase
of PWR Instructor Syllabi, and we welcome your sample materials.
You can also view the PWR Instructor's
Guide for 2005-2006 here.
The module on Professional
Development offers new and experienced instructors advice on important
ways to develop and improve your pedagogy, from self-evaluation strategies
to collaborative reviews. Discover how to transform your teaching experiences
into conference papers and publications. Follow links to conferences
of interest to PWR instructors. Learn how to create and update your
Teaching Portfolio. Use the recommended reading list to review scholarship
in pedagogy, writing, and rhetoric.
We have also added a page of Rhetoric
Resources online. Here you can review the historical development
of Rhetoric as a discipline and a taught subject. Link to excellent
Rhetoric web pages hosting texts of classical and contemporary rhetoric,
glossaries of rhetorical terms, and examples of priniciples of rhetoric.
Also, check out the section on ideas for assignments in visual rhetoric
and digital rhetoric.
If you have any additional information that you wish to see on these
pages, or if you have any suggestions for improvement, please do not
hesitate to contact the web
designer. We would also like to include links to your class web
pages on our Showcase
of PWR Instructor Syllabi so please send them along to us.
