Principles and Best Practices for Community-Engaged Writing at Conestoga

Brooke Pratt, PhD, & Suzanne Rintoul, PhD, School of Interdisciplinary Studies
This document describes principles and best practices for conducting community-engaged writing projects at Conestoga. It provides resources for faculty, students, and partners involved in curricular and co-curricular community-engaged writing activities.
Research for this guide was completed by a working group of faculty and students supported by the Conestoga Community-Engaged Writing Initiative, and it was initially funded by a Conestoga New and Emerging Research Grant.
Our conclusions and recommendations are based on literature reviews and consultations with Conestoga students and with local organizations working in community-engaged scholarship, pedagogy, and arts.
This is a living document that will continue to evolve to reflect the needs of Conestoga faculty, students, and the greater community.
