This volume presents an introspective study of writing pedagogy, explored through the lens of theatre and performance. The chapters explore assessment and issues related to student engagement, in both in-person and online learning spaces, and consider aspects such as class design, environment, activities, and curriculum. The authors draw on educational theory and inquiry-based pedagogy as well as their own experiences to lay out a comprehensive blueprint for teaching in a student centered classroom.
