As an administrator, I see writing programs as collaborative spaces in which students and faculty come together to generate new writing knowledge and writing practices. Three goals, which I detail below, guide my approach to administration: (1) fostering reflective teaching practices within the context of a balanced approach to disciplinary knowledge (e.g., Adler-Kassner and Wardle) and local programmatic values; (2) crafting a coherent program in response to institutional needs and in collaboration with writing instructors; and (3) developing a program assessment feedback loop for curricular enhancement. I have developed these goals through twp administrative experiences: first, while teaching as a lecturer at the University of Maine, I mentored a cohort of new graduate teaching assistants; second, at Florida State, I am assisting our WPA, Dr. Deborah Coxwell-Teague, in directing the College Composition Program.
