Writers in Education. NAWE has established a Higher Education Network in order to provide information and support for all those teaching or studying on writing courses, prospective students and recent graduates.  The NAWE Higher Education Committee has recently published (in draft form) Benchmark Statements that aim to provide useful descriptions of how Creative Writing is taught and researched. Click here for further information on the National Association of Writers in Education (NAWE), which is the one organization supporting the development of creative writing of all genres and in all educational and community settings throughout the UK.

Creative Writing: Teaching Theory and Pedagogy is aimed at teachers of Creative Writing and those who are in the process of training to become teachers of Creative Writing: “With the rise of pedagogy modules on creative writing degrees, many have begun to question why we teach the way we do; what it is that we deliver in terms of transferable skills; what the body of knowledge within the subject actually is, how the workshop actually works as a space for learning and many other questions. There is a growing interest and accompanying body of literature emerging within Creative Writing as a subject area, which deals with the theoretical issues surrounding the pedagogy of the subject. This debate is on-going in the US, Australia and in the UK.”

The English Subject Centre is part of the Higher Education Academy and supports the teaching of English Literature, English Language and Creative Writing across UK Higher Education.  Their website offers a range of activities, information and ideas to help lecturers enhance the student experience.
