What happens when you reach out

Initial conversation

We talk about your course, your students, and the communication expectations you are working with. This is exploratory — no prior experience with writing pedagogy is required.

Scoping the engagement

Together we identify what a WOLF engagement could look like for your situation: a single assignment redesign, a curriculum audit, or something in between. We establish a rough timeline and set of goals.

Liaison matching

CWSP matches you with a liaison appropriate to your disciplinary context and availability. Liaison pairings are made by CWSP staff.

Working sessions

You and your liaison work through the Inquiry, Design, and Evidence phases at a pace that fits your semester. Most engagements involve four to six working sessions of one to two hours each.

Documentation and close

At the end of the engagement, your WSCP Working Template serves as a record of the work: decisions made, artifacts produced, and evidence gathered. You keep it.

Before you reach out

You do not need to have a problem

WOLF is not a remediation program. Many faculty come in with courses that are already working well and want to strengthen or document what they are doing.

Any discipline is welcome

WOLF has worked with courses in engineering, business, social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, and professional programs. Communication is disciplinary — liaisons bring frameworks, not templates.

Timing matters

The most productive engagements begin a semester before the course you want to revise. Mid-semester redesigns are possible but compressed. Reach out early if you can.

AI Literacies is available

If your interest is specifically in AI, authorship, and academic integrity, let us know. We can scope an engagement around the AI Literacies extension or combine it with a full WOLF engagement.

AI Policy Lab is available

If your department or curriculum committee needs to work through AI use policy — at the course, program, or institutional level — the AI Policy Lab is a standalone workshop that can run independently or alongside a WOLF engagement.

C²TC Communication Teaching Certificate

Faculty looking to build deeper expertise in communication pedagogy can earn a certificate through CWSP's self-paced professional development program. Three certificate tracks cover written, digital, and oral communication instruction, each built around research-based frameworks and your own course materials.
