This specialization will provide learners with proven methods to improve the writing of students of all ages, in all situations, including K through University classrooms as well as homeschooling, tutoring, in business and the private sector. In four courses and a final project, you’ll learn effective theories and practices to teach writing that you can adapt to your own teaching situation and needs. You’ll learn how to teach writing as process, how to reach even the most reluctant writers, how to help students construct specific texts and make the reading/writing connection, and how to respond to and assess student writing in ways that are meaningful to both teacher and student. If you use writing in your teaching, or want to, this specialization will provide you with tools and practices you can use with your students right away.

The contents are relevant and very useful, nothing to complain about that. Peer reviews is the worst thing that could have happened to this course, very few students so there are no assignments to review and of course, no one to review your assignments. That discourages a lot.
It's difficult to get one's assignments peer reviewed and likewise - probably very few students enrol for the course. That was a bit of a disappointment.
One the best courses for teachers. Many thanks for the instructor and University. It is rich in content both videos and readings. I would definitely recommend it to other teachers.
Excellent. Reflection based learning was extremely helpful for me.
i like it but it is a non-credit one
This course effectively explained various approaches to teaching writing that will help students tackle all writing assignments, such as providing low-stakes writing opportunites, breaking down the writing process, and use of reflective writing. I was surprised by how much more approachable writing and teaching writing feel after completing the course. Thank you!
This is an excellent course! I have learned so much, and the Discussion Prompts and Graded Writing Assignments are quite thought-provoking. I know this course will be helpful to me in the future, and I look forward to taking the other courses in the Teaching Writing Specialization.
Thank you Prof. Farrington. You helped me see the writing process from a very different perspective. I enjoyed all the videos, and very useful information for this course. The assignments were challenging but they brought out the creativity in me.
This is an excellent course, I have learned so much about teaching writing and I'm believed that I'm really helping my students.
Solid course! It was ideal for a newcomer teacher like myself, but I noticed other advanced peers getting good value from it.
Muy útil para aquellos que deseen repensar sus prácticas docentes en ejercicios de escritura.
