The Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) movement has gone from valuable but less effective individual efforts to organized, district- and campus-supported projects based on goals for improved student learning in every area and every program. On the college level, WAC takes two forms: a more traditional, formally structured approach from faculty whose goals are based on teaching the writing of a discipline; and a more flexible perspective of writing as a thinking process that is fundamental to understanding, termed "Writing for Learning." Writing for Learning consists of a multitude of activities, all designed to lead students to interact with content in ways that result in increased learning. Students write in class or out of class, by themselves or in groups, sometimes cued and sometimes self-designed, to generate ideas or respond to someone else's ideas--whatever seems appropriate for the learning strategy they are practicing. The implementation of this approach at South Mountain Community College began with an effort to convince instructors of the need for more writing, the need for different kinds of writing, and the need for a different view of what teaching writing is. Subsequent steps included gathering administrative support, enlisting faculty, training faculty to plan and design writing assignments, and offering workshops for faculty on the use of writing in the classroom, covering note taking, class logs, study guides, writing assignments, essay tests, and conference evaluations. New efforts are being planned to expand the program to focus on still more student needs. (AYC)
