Community Literacy Program (CLP) links English 298A with English 491C (Internship). In English 298A students meet twice weekly on campus (MW 11:30-1:20) in a seminar focused on learning effective teaching and tutoring methods, exploring some central challenges and opportunities for public education, and using writing and presentation to inquire into, develop and communicate your thinking about these issues. English 298 is an Interdisciplinary Writing Course which may be used toward either the C (composition) or the W (additional writing) requirement. (Students may take up to three IWP courses, and so may register for Community Literacy Program even if youve previously taken other IWP or Composition courses at UW.) In English 491C (Internship; C/NC), students put what you learn on campus into action, volunteering (4-5 hours a week, on a schedule you arrange) at a CLP partner public school. Community Literacy Program partners are high needs programs that work closely with the CLP director to create a strong learning community for everyone involved. English 491 may be used toward the field work requirement or as an elective in the Education, Learning and Society Minor, and provides documentation of Internship, and of school-based experience needed for application to Teacher Education programs.
