Empowering the Teaching of Writing

Teaching students how to write is a challenging task. That’s why the Center for Writing in College, Career and Community (CWCCC) at Missouri State University developed the Writing and Thinking Conference to empower teachers to improve student writing.

Held twice a year, the spring 2017 conference is scheduled for March 3. CWCCC director Dr. Keri Franklin sheds more light on the conference and what participants can expect.

The conference fee is $100 for an individual and $360 for a team of four. It includes a choice of three sessions, all materials, lunch and a parking pass. For more information and to register, visit the conference website
