Specialization course provides increasingly intensive training in the theory and pedagogical approaches of the Story Workshop approach to the teaching of writing. Students begin in Practice Teaching: Tutor Training by tutoring Fiction Writing undergraduates at Columbia College Chicago, and then in Practice Teaching: Outreach move to teaching in a variety of community outreach programs under the auspices of the Fiction Writing Department (often carried out in conjunction with the Center for Community Arts Partnership), either in community arts organizations or in elementary and secondary schools.
