What is the Writing Center?
The Writing Center serves as a space for students to engage in writing conferences with their peers, draft essays and projects, and work alongside critical friends to develop and strengthen their writing. Peer tutors apply for the position, complete tutor training, and receive volunteer hours for tutoring. Students coming to the Writing Center with papers and projects receive feedback and direction for their work. Student tutors will participate in training, peer-led conferencing, and writing "retreats" at the Writing Center.
When does the Writing Center meet?
Tutors will conduct conferences bi-weekly during Flex. The Writing Center is open during Flex on Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays.
How does the Writing Center benefit students?
The Writing Center helps students become strong writers, develop connections with their peers, and creates a culture of writing and revising in our school.
