Misconceptions about the teaching of writing prevail on many college campuses, partially because writing teachers fail to communicate with their colleagues. It is especially important for writing teachers to let their colleagues know that learning to write is a long term developmental process that needs support and reinforcement from the entire faculty. It is also important for English departments to upgrade the status of writing teachers, who have often served as "the comp post pile of college faculties." At Assumption College, the faculty has committed itself to the reinforcement of student writing. A faculty newsletter, "The Comp Post," reports on such topics as writing conferences attended by staff members, approaches to teaching writing, and language usage. Polls of faculty members are conducted periodically to elicit information and opinions on methods used to teach writing. A magazine of student writing samples is also distributed to the faculty. Future plans call for the use of "The Comp Post" as a forum for the consideration of such topics as writing as discovery, sense of audience, and the effect of feedback on writing. In addition, Assumption will sponsor visits by experts in writing and will hold colloquia to preview and review these visits. (GW)
