Write Like You Teach: Taking Your Classroom Skills to a Bigger Audience

Dr. Lang is the Professor of Practice at the Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence, University of Notre Dame and a renowned expert on teaching and learning whose research-based insights have transformed teaching practices across higher education. Dr. Lang has just published a new book Write Like You Teach: Taking Your Classroom Skills to a Bigger Audience (University of Chicago), which describes how to become a more effective public writer. At this workshop, Dr. Lang will guide participants in translating the core principles of effective classroom teaching into practical strategies for writing for a general audience. Participants will explore how readers learn and will experiment with approaches that foster exploration, creativity, and engagement in their writing.

This is the kickoff event to a yearlong series Forging Connections: Championing Science, Learning, and Higher Ed Through Effective Communication. Forging Connections is designed to empower our academic community to share ideas and research with clarity, confidence, and impact. The events of this series are open to all – regardless of discipline, department, or program –  with the goal of helping faculty, students, and staff grow as powerful, effective communicators who can champion the value of science, learning, and higher education.
