This panel explores different approaches to engaging community college developmental English students through creative writing. Topics include the diversity of the overall student population and their unique needs; barriers to their success, whether structural or personal; and how in-class creative writing exercises can lead to their overall self-efficacy and persistence. The panelists reflect on obstacles—some common, some unique—as well as creative solutions and opportunities.
