This is <em>one<\/em> among the incentives for taking on responsibilities as Director of the First-Year Writing Program&#8211;a role I formally stepped into earlier this month. The larger office is warranted because it is spacious enough for meetings with small groups of 3-4 people, or that&#8217;s the main rationale for the up-sized office, I&#8217;m told.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s quite a bit of new work that comes with being WPA, and I have been daily trying both to tick items off a long task-list I&#8217;m keeping in Astrid for now and to keep short-term priorities in clear view.  In the mix: (anti)textbook decisions, curricular fine- and coarse-tuning, drilling down on outcomes that read to too many&#8211;me included&#8211;as over-general <em>goals<\/em>, getting publishers to say anything-more? about their pricing and margins, scrounging for budget, setting up online spaces (e.g., WordPress and Mediawiki installs), scheduling for fall, prepping a summer materials PDF for new GA cohort, and on and on. I&#8217;m not sure how the size of this FYWP compares, but I&#8217;d guess it is larger than most with 140+ sections per year, more than 3000 students per year, and an instructional staff of more than 50.<\/p>\n<p>Along with all of the challenges, the transition into this role is generative in that it is pushing me to re-think my research agenda, reconsider my teaching philosophy, formalize an administrative philosophy and plan (almost certainly rooted in <em>chreods<\/em> and <em>chreodologies<\/em>), and reflect on what worked well in my graduate education. I have every indication so far that EMU is a hospitable place for tending to the strength and solidity of the first-year experience and Gen. Ed. There are many smart, supportive people involved, which always helps.<\/p>\n<p>I have half-kidded on Twitter that in addition to Writing Program Administrator, WPA means Writing Program Atavist and Writing Program Adhocrat: <em>atavist<\/em> for throwback tendencies (returning to my own TA training, unearthing relic teaching influences, leafing through the 1936 Sears catalogs as Jim Corder did, and finding it fixed, stale: &#8220;We mustn&#8217;t try to live forever with only the knowledge we now have.&#8221;), <em>adhocrat<\/em> for the gut-trusting making up of this thing as we go, leaning hard on practical wisdom and the proceed-as-way-opens Quaker maxim LWP has always been fond of. I&#8217;ve ordered a few other books about contemporary WPA thinking, but right now this is where I&#8217;m at.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>I changed offices this week, moved from the smaller, windowless interior office that is standard issue for junior faculty in my department to the larger, windowed outer office pictured here.
