As a Developmental Writing Specialist and having been a writing instructor since 1990, I am keenly aware of the value of literacy.
Reading and writing makes it possible for students to move toward a more progressive future. Augmented with critical thinking,
students could develop the skills and the responsibilities to become active participants in this global community. I wish my students to have the ability to understand the information available to them, to constructively analyze the ideas
in order to make informed decisions, and to convey and share the information with their community through clear writing. And
as a way to enhance my students’ literacy and critical thinking skills, I strive to provide a challenging environment for
learning in a student-centered and collaborative learning classroom.
