Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs): A Tool to Help Junior Faculty Members Build Sustainable Writing Habits
Skarupski, Kimberly A.; Foucher, Kharma C.
Journal of Faculty Development, v32 n3 p47-54 Sep 2018
Faculty members have numerous competing demands and struggle to find time to write. Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) were created to help faculty members establish sustainable writing habits by writing with increased frequency and for shorter session durations. WAGs meet one hour a week for 10 weeks and emphasize accountability to the process of writing using a structured format of 15 minutes of reporting and goal-setting, a 30-minute writing session, and another 15 minutes of reporting and goal-setting. Pre-post WAG assessment data (N=443) provide evidence for significant program impact and participants also affirmed positive outcomes including accountability, habit-formation, and social support.
