Over the past few decades, writing centers have emerged as spaces where students can receive support from peer or near-peer tutors throughout the writing process. The focus of these writing centers used to be on remedial, error centered writing instruction for students at the post-secondary level who struggled with basic writing skills. Over the course of writing center history, these spaces have evolved to focus less on correcting errors and more on helping writers find a clear voice and develop more sophisticated overall styles. In addition, starting in the late nineteen eighties, secondary schools have started establishing writing centers in an effort to both support classroom writing instructions for students with special needs and prepare students for the rigorous expectations of college level writing. Although there are many similarities between the missions of college and high school writing centers and many secondary school writing centers have collegiate partners, notable differences still exist between the two environments that affect how writing centers at each level operate. Secondary school writing centers must work around more regimented schedules, little to no teacher office hours, and state curricular mandates, therefore, their policies and practices must reflect their position. Although there is extensive literature documents the success of writing centers at the college level, comparatively litte research exists on secondary school writing centers and the characteristics that make them most effective at serving students. This study addresses a gap in the literature by examining what characteristics are important to the success of a secondary school writing center, especially for anyone looking to start a writing center at their high school. A survey was conducted of teachers and administrators who oversee writing centers at various secondary schools around Cincinnati, Ohio. The data are under analysis to determine which aspects of the secondary school writing center are most critical to its success. Implications and suggestions for future research will be discussed.--(leaves ii-iii)

Colleges typically have writing centers to which students can bring their writing assignments to a peer tutor for assistance, but most high schools and middle schools do not. This book advocates for the creation of writing centers in 712 schools and explains why the school library is the best place for the writing center. There is a glaring absence of writing centers in today's K12 schools. More and more students are being asked in college entrance testing to submit samples of their writing, and employers are expecting their workers to write correctly and clearly. This book addresses the critical lack of writing centers below the undergraduate level. It demonstrates how middle school and high school librarians can create writing centers in their school libraries, explains how to assist students through a one-on-one writing tutorial method, and gives students and teachers the tools for learning and understanding the complex art of writing. Author Timothy Horaninventor of the School Library Writing Centerestablishes why school libraries represent the bestand most logicalplaces to create writing centers, and why school librarians are the natural choice to direct writing center operations. He then takes readers through the process of creating a writing center from original conception up through opening day. Additional topics covered include how to publicize and "grow" your School Library Writing Center; maintaining your writing center for efficient operation on a daily basis as well as for years to come; how to become an effective writing center director and writing tutor; the most current technology that can be used to assist in the writing, composition, and research process; and working with English language learner (ELL) students within your writing center.

What needs to be considered when establishing a writing center? Writing labs have a long history on college campuses, the main purpose of which is to assist students to become better writers. Although the information on writing centers at the high school level is at best, limited, the literature reported that the number of students using writing labs increased each year in use. There are many issues and questions that must be explored and answered when determining if the school will benefit from opening a writing center. Some considerations and support activities of a writing center are enumerated in this paper. (Contains 22 online resources.).

The inventor of the School Library Writing Center makes it easy for librarians and teachers of kindergarten through sixth grade learners to provide highly effective writing instruction. Students in the early years of their development have a tremendous capacity for learning.

Written by the inventor of the School Library Writing Center, this book is the only one of its kind. It gives you clear and easy-to-read instructions on how to create and structure engaging and productive lessons in writing as well as reproducible worksheets that are ready to implement in your library or classroom. Each worksheet relates directly to writing lessons discussed in the book and serves to guide students (and their teachers) as they explore the exciting world of writing. Readers will learn why and how they can create and maintain a School Library Writing Center. The book moves sequentially through the grade levels, starting with kindergarten and concluding at grade six, with each chapter focusing on a specific grade level. The author explains best practices with regards to tutoring writing in each grade; discusses the developmental levels and skills expected in a particular grade with regards to writing and reading; addresses grade-specific Common Core learning standards; discusses grade-appropriate online resources and technology-enabled activities that will help students become better writers; and identifies practical tutoring methods that will help students develop as writers.

Noting a lack of sustained and productive dialogue about race in university writing center scholarship, the editors of this volume have created a rich resource for writing center tutors, administrators, and scholars. Motivated by a scholarly interest in race and whiteness studies, and by an ethical commitment to anti-racism work, contributors address a series of related questions: How does institutionalized racism in American education shape the culture of literacy and language education in the writing center? How does racism operate in the discourses of writing center scholarship/lore, and how may writing centers be unwittingly complicit in racist practices? How can they meaningfully operationalize anti-racist work? How do they persevere through the difficulty and messiness of negotiating race and racism in their daily practice? The conscientious, nuanced attention to race in this volume is meant to model what it means to be bold in engagement with these hard questions and to spur the kind of sustained, productive, multi-vocal, and challenging dialogue that, with a few significant exceptions, has been absent from the field.

This collection introduces the reader to the ideas that have shaped writing center theory and practice. The essays have been selected not only for the insight they offer into issues but also for their contributions to writing center scholarship. These papers help to chart the legitimation of writing centers by providing both a history and an examination of the philosophies, praxis, and politics that have defined this emerging field. They demonstrate the ways a clearer profile of the discipline has emerged from the research and reflection of writers, like those represented here. This volume charts the emergence of writing centers and the growing recognition of their contributions, roles, and importance. As a nascent discipline, writing centers reflect the concerns with marginality and with finding a respected place in the academy that characterize any new field of academic inquiry, practice, and research. Concomitantly, professionals in these fields seek standing within the academy and a way of defining and validating their contributions to the educational process. Contemporary writing center theorists look to interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary investigations to interpret the work they do and to clarify their aims to the academy at large. Their work employs a variety of philosophical perspectives -- ranging from sociolinguistics to psychoanalytic theory -- to show the complex nature and potential of writing center interactions. The idea has now become the multidimensional realities of the writing center within the academy and within society as a whole. What its role will be in future redefinitions of the educational process, how that role will be negotiated and evaluated, and how professionals will shape educational values will constitute the future landmark directions and essays on writing center theory and practice.
