Fall Professional Development Workshops

Effective Writing Skills for Higher Education

 

Do you write reports, memos, and e-mails?

 

Do you need to sharpen your skills?

 

If so, this workshop will help you.

 

Dale DeLetis, the veteran writing teacher for the Colleges of the

Fenway, will conduct a four-session workshop on effective writing skills.

The dates are October 19, 26 and November 2, 9 from 9:30 am - 12:00 noon at Wheelock College, ACE 320.  Workshop size is limited to ten and participants must attend all four sessions.

 

The workshop will cover organization, style, and grammar as applied to

all forms of office writing.  The exercises will help you sort out specific

issues so that you can be a more effective professional writer.  This is

your chance to clear up all those pesky problems that have bothered you for

years!

 

Dale DeLetis offers workshops in Public Speaking and Professional Writing for clients in both the academic and non-profit sectors.  Recent contracts have included Harvard Business School and Simmons College, where he conducts workshops and coaching sessions for the staff and faculty.  This is Dale’s sixth year with the Colleges of the Fenway HR Development Program.

Teaching and Learning Collaborative,(TLC)



The Colleges of the Fenway’s Teaching and Learning Collaborative (TLC), supports and builds on faculty development programs offered by the individual colleges of the six-college consortium and develops new, effective, and innovative opportunities for collaborative faculty development for them.  The goals of the TLC are to: 1) enhance faculty teaching through shared professional development experiences; 2) share expertise to strengthen programs on individual campuses; 3) facilitate support networks across and within institutions; and 4) increase collaborative academic programs and research.

 

While the content focus of specific initiatives and events varies, all TLC offerings are developed and delivered collaboratively; emphasize the relationship between learning, teaching and scholarship/creative production; result in the implementation of action plans; and encourage small communities of practice and research in areas of faculty interest.  Annual events of the TLC include the Summer Teaching Institute, the Fall New Faculty Reception, the Annual Teaching and Learning Conference, and the Spring Faculty Reception.  A four-course certificate program for Teaching College Effectively with Technology was initiated in summer, 2011.

 

The grant that funds the TLC was received from the Davis Educatitonal Foundation established by Stanton and Elisabeth Davis after Mr. Davis's retirement as chairman of Shaw's Supermarket, Inc.
