Interested in Becoming a Peer Writing Assistant?
Peer writing assistants are at the heart of the SCW’s work. Through providing support for student writers, peer writing assistants are themselves enriched and challenged. Teaching writing prompts assistants and teachers alike to hone writing strategies, to refine their language for talking about writing, and to think differently about their own writing processes. Writing tutors from colleges and universities across the country--and the world--find this to be deeply rewarding work.
成为同行写作助理, interested students will take a course, Tutoring Writing: Theory and Practice (WRT 285, offered Spring 2018) that will prepare them to work with writers in the SCW. In this course as well as in ongoing education and professional development, peer writing assistants will develop and refine knowledge of theories of writing, 写作中心理论与教学, writing processes and writing strategies, and rhetorical and genre knowledge for writing in different disciplines and contexts. While peer writing assistants may have more first-hand knowledge of writing for the discipline of their major(s) and/or minor, they will also have the rhetorical and genre knowledge to help students with writing projects from across campus.
If you are interested in becoming a peer writing assistant or in learning more about the course, 请填写 contact form for details. If you’re a faculty member or student who would like to recommend another student for a position, please complete the contact form or encourage the student to contact Dr. Daniels Storey.
对教员的支持
In addition to working with student writers, the Scarbrough Center for Writing offers faculty support for the many ways they work with writing in their courses. Faculty members are welcome to contact the SCW for individual consultations about issues such as:
- designing and sequencing assignments
- incorporating peer review into a course
- responding to student writing effectively
- assessing and evaluating student writing
Faculty may also contact the SCW to schedule a class visit to the Center, or to have a peer writing assistant visit their class to give a brief presentation about the SCW and its services. These presentations provide an opportunity to learn about the SCW from a fellow student, and they can be tailored and scheduled to complement specific writing assignments throughout the semester. If you would like to request a class visit, 请填写 班级参观申请表.
In addition, the SCW can work with faculty to design, and co-facilitate, in-class writing activities or lessons. The SCW will also offer workshops and Johnson Center programs around teaching and writing throughout the year.
If you would like more information about these resources or would like to set up a consultation, 请填写 contact form.
