Serving as an FCTE Student Writing Award Judge 

The Student Writing Awards could not exist without the generous assistance of the Judges. Each  summer a small bundle of student writing is sent to English Language Arts teachers who have volunteered to support the Student Writing Awards process. These teachers use their experience and expertise to evaluate the quality of student submissions. All identifying information is removed from each entry, and each student paper is read by multiple judges who use their experience in the classroom and their expertise on writing to make decisions about the quality of student work. We are eager to include multiple voices and perspectives and we welcome “new” judges to the process.  

If you are interested in serving as a judge of the FCTE Student Writing Awards, contact Dr. Wood at wood@coe.fsu.edu.
