Teaching Assistants and Graduate Assistants are often responsible for large numbers of essays and written assignments. This workshop will focus on ways to effectively respond to student written work. Emphasizing that the purpose of teacher-response is to improve student writing development, participants will discuss the ways in which various kinds of response differ in terms of their effect on students. Participants will learn ways to provide effective and meaningful response while balancing issues of timeliness and workload.
