Writing Pacing Guide, Curriculum Map, Digital Format
This fully editable, fully digital resource is designed to serve as a suggested pacing guide for an entire, full curriculum for a writing course. Teaching writing is tough. I get it.

AP Language and Composition Audited Syllabus
This syllabus is my own, drafted for audit in 2007. While some of my day-to-day activities have changed, my basic course architecture has not.

Truth through Memoir Syllabus
This syllabus presents a portfolio-based system of teaching that I based on my UW in the High School English 130 course for the University of Washington.

Teaching College Freshmen to Write: A New Method
This short essay describes how I moved from deep frustration in teaching freshman comp at the Berklee College of Music to real satisfaction and great student improvement. When I taught Freshman Comp the standard way, using the standard textbooks and making grammar notes in the margins of student papers, I became exhausted and students learned little.
