Panel Presentation: Meeting Writers Where They Are: Self-Direction in the Writing Center

February 26, 2020

In this panel, peer writing tutors from Dickinson College will conduct a close reading of transcripts from four different sessions to determine how tutors help or hinder writers’ self-direction.

We will consider how tutors read the needs of writers as they develop strategies for sessions. We will examine how directive and non-directive tutoring affect the self-directed learning process of writers. To conclude, we will provide strategies tutors can use to make sessions more conducive to self-directed learning.   

Featuring: Nora Greeley, Anna Harvey, Alexandria Kruizenga, and Alexander Thorsrud
