Welcome to the writing center. We here at the writing center would like to extend a warm welcome to you for stopping by the writing center. I am currently serving as the director of this writing center. We here at the writing center do not discriminate anyone. We are a writing center that will be offered seven days a week. If you are unable to meet in person we are available to chat online at certain days and certain times.
This writing center will focus on all the different types of writing styles. We will have stations set up based on each learning style. The center will be adaptable towards everyone. If we do not have a station for someones learning style we will do our best to serve you. At my writing center we would have grammar self-assessments sheets. If students need help with something we will provide various examples and practice sheets such as dealing with present/past future, and various other sheets designate to help one succeed in writing.
My writing center will be called "Stepping Up through Writing". The writing center will be a place where the writing coaches will conduct various workshops for students and the teachers to attend.
The writing center purpose is to make sure everyone feels is designed to help foster the community of scholarship and shared leadership through peer consulting, a form of collaborative learning which involves students in each other’s intellectual and academic development. understand the material to be written; plan, organize, revise, and edit papers; design oral presentations; overcome writer’s block, and develop critical thinking skills. Students create a committed and caring writer’s community which helps them achieve excellence in their writing both in and out of class. We also would help people who are writers, teachers, and educators. Anyone is welcomed to attend the writing center. Right now we are in the process of trying to have the center open to the whole community. People come to the Writing Center because all writers can improve their writing through feedback. We can help you to brainstorm, plan, edit, revise and proofread your texts. In short, we can collaborate with you on any work in progress. For example, some writers think that visiting a tutor will guarantee them a higher grade. You need to let them know you can help them learn to recognize and improve upon their writing challenges, but you cannot promise them a good grade. They must earn their grades on their own!This is one thing that people look for when entering a writing center. If the students need help with an assignment or is unclear about the assignment we will direct them to the teacher if necessary. We would like to establish positive student/teacher relations and also tutor/students relationships so everyone can benefit from one another in a productive environment.
