AI and the Teaching of Writing

Writing is about process, not product, and the emergence of generative AI has raised important questions about why and how we teach students to develop their writing skills. In this workshop, we’ll explore both challenges and opportunities that AI presents to the teaching of writing. We’ll look at the research on writing, consider a variety of classroom approaches, and discuss examples that fall into two categories: AI-resistant pedagogy and AI-assisted pedagogy. Participants will reflect on the way resistant and assisted approaches can deepen student learning and motivation when it comes to writing tasks.
Participants will:
- Explore the impact generative AI has on the practice and teaching of writing
- Understand that there are multiple ways to respond to generative AI, including AI-resistant and AI-assisted strategies
- Reflect on their current practice when it comes to writing instruction and assessment, identifying potential changes required in an AI age
AUDIENCE
