Abstract
Departmental writing plans and faculty support are proven methods to help In-Discipline instructors more effectively teach writing. Talking about this developmental process is invaluable if departments are going to successfully implement a writing plan. Talking about writing is also crucial as In-Discipline instructors and writing studies instructors coordinate to create writing assignments in the classroom. Students need to learn to write for reasons other than to earn a grade and they need to actively engage with writing in a way that prepares them for their professional life. This paper focuses on one Accounting class to illustrate some of the challenges and successes of our “Writing Through Accounting” Program currently being developed here at the College of Business and Economics.
