Abstract
-
This professional project explores student-centered and culturally relevant writing instruction practices and implements such strategies into a semester-long writing curriculum. The writing curriculum is designed to be used by College Now high school teachers for college-credit awarded ELA courses and other educators who are in need of writing curriculum and/or instructional strategies.
The second part of this professional project is a preliminary reflective research project. The author observes and reflects on their experiences teaching in a less diverse school, where the student population is primarily white, middle/high socioeconomic status, and culturally and ideologically similar. The author attempts to gather qualitative data from participants in a survey for faculty members at the same school, and reflects on what themes and patters emerged as well as next steps for future research.
