The English Department at UCCS collaborates with the Pikes Peak Poet Laureate Project to engage local high school teachers in a graduate-level exploration of pedagogies of poetry. This course builds on the 8-hour day of participatory learning provided by the Poetry Workshop, held on September 27, 2008, by requiring participants to demonstrate careful, independent research and curricula development that utilizes and implements the skills learned in the workshop. The course is designed to give credit and incentive to teachers to develop and implement the skills to which they were introduced in the workshop.
This one-day course takes place on Saturday, September 27, 2008 at the Colorado College campus. Taught by Prof. Kirsten Bartholomew Ortega.
