School of Journalism lecturer Beth Wood leads a workshop session.

The program is the brainchild of former School of Journalism Dean Richard Gray, who realized that beginning instructors needed direction in how to teach writing, reporting and editing. He envisioned a workshop where a small group of beginning teachers would learn from master teachers the art of good teaching, use of instructional resources, direction on evaluation methods and precision journalism.

Since the first workshop in 1977, the program has expanded and adapted, and now counts among its alumni nearly 350 faculty from across North America. Many are journalism professionals who are taking their expertise to an academic setting; others are experienced instructors seeking ways to adapt their methods as they switch to teaching journalism for the first time.
