Our program is defined by rigorous mentorship at every stage. We are uniquely skilled at training students in the pedagogy of teaching writing. Our flagship pedagogy course, Theories and Strategies of Teaching Writing, includes field work at local community colleges where you will connect with our wide network of teachers. Paid graduate assistantships on campus provide invaluable classroom and tutoring experience as you work alongside and are mentored by Mills writing faculty. Coupled with theoretical readings and discussion, this practical experience will prepare you for—or deepen—your teaching career.
