We collaborate with faculty and administrators at colleges and universities within and outside the United States to design and develop writing and research initiatives. This includes short and longterm projects that support learning, contribute new knowledge, and encourage a positive culture of writing.

​

Catherine DeLazzero, Ph.D. has extensive experience creating successful writing programs and using research to assess and enhance educational practices. She has taught writing at secondary, undergraduate, and graduate levels for two decades and served in multiple administrative roles. She has delivered ~50 presentations on writing education and research at national conferences and universities, including as part of Fulbright projects. (See Catherine's abbreviated CV.)

 

We can provide support for one stage or the entire life cycle of a project or initiative. Collaboration involves work together online (e.g., planning, developing tools or materials) and through in person visits that may include presentations and workshops.

 

Colleges and universities may choose to work with us in areas such as writing program administration, writing enrichment in disciplines and across the curriculum, teacher education and professional development, project-based curriculum development, writing centers and online writing labs, peer tutor training and leadership development, program and assessment research, and department and university communications. Specific areas might also include
