The Concept of A Writing Center
Muriel Harris Originally Published by
The International Council of Teachers of English
September 1988
The Concept of a Writing Center
Writing centers exist in a variety of shapes, sizes, and settings. Typically they are part of a writing program or learning center and serve the entire school, both at the secondary and college levels. Although writing centers may differ in size, specific services, source of staffing, and organizational procedures, they share the following approaches:
Tutorials are offered in a one-to-one setting
Tutors, who may be peers, professionals, graduate students, part-time instructors, or full-time teachers, meet individually with writers in the writing center either briefly (e.g., fifteen to twenty minutes) or for more extended periods of time (typically an hour) to attend to that particular writer's concerns. The writers who attend the center may come in only a few times for specific help or on a regular basis. Some writers seek help on their own; others appear at the recommendation of teachers; and in some cases, writers work in the center as a required part of their coursework.
Tutors are coaches and collaborators, not teachers

The tutor's job is not to improve papers (tempting though that is) but to improve writers. To avoid the temptation to edit, the tutor should follow simple rules: sit beside the student, keep the paper close to the student, don't hold a pen or pencil, and have the student read the paper aloud at the start of the conference to reinforce the student's authority and engagement. In addition, be sure to praise something in the paper, ask questions rather than giving suggestions, and, if possible, have students do some writing. Don't allow students to force you to edit: they will ultimately appreciate your refusal to do so. 419. DiPardo, Anne.

Their struggles and successes suggest that the tensions aroused by campus diversity and educational-opportunity programs should be discussed openly by faculty and students, that basic writers need help finding personal meaning in the academic work in a cultural environment that is often unfamiliar or hostile, and that peer tutors need to extablish their role as facilitators without being undermined by student resistance or riding roughshod over it.

Writing Centers
The "modern" version of a writing center emerged in the late 1970s. However, writing labs, or writing clinics, have a long history. In the 1930s, for example, the University of Iowa had a writing lab that helped "remedial" students who had failed the "pass-out" exam, the dreaded written theme that was graded pass or fail that was required for all undergraduates ( Kelly ). The existence of these early labs and clinics was supported by the current-traditional paradigm that was so pervasive in the teaching of writing. Since grammatical correctness and precise spelling where marks of "successful" writers, writing labs were places where students practiced grammar and spelling skills. The constant repetition of grammar and spelling exercises in these labs created an image of writing labs as places were students went to practice "skill and drill"worksheet after worksheets, followed by repetitious writing exercises. The writing lab as a place of remediation appears to have held steady through the 1950s. In "The Writing Clinic and the Writing Laboratory," originally published in 1950, Robert Moore defines the writing clinic as a place "primarily concerned with the diagnosis of the individual student's writing difficulties and the suggestion of remedial measures. . . " (4). Once a student's writing "problem," (or disease, to carry out the metaphor) was diagnosed, the student might go to the writing lab which was "primarily concerned with the direct and continuing supervision of the remedial efforts of the individual student" (4).

A Brief History of University Writing Centers: Variety and Diversity
Susan C. Waller
RETURN
edited 12/28/02 ABSTRACT Today, writing centers thrive on many college and university campuses. Yet, this has not always been the case. This paper traces the development of writing centers in the 20th century. Given the variety and diversity of centers, their development is presented by theme rather than chronology. After exploring some possible historical antecedents, the paper discusses the reasons for founding, various names or images, staffing and pedagogy, and relationship to the university at large. It concludes with a series of indicators that describe the current position of writing centers. Contents
Introduction
Historical Antecedents of the Writing Center Writing Centers' Relationship to the University Reasons for the Founding of Writing Centers ... Introduction On the campuses of many American colleges and universities today, students frequent a place that supports writing. And that support of writing may be the only commonality among these places. They differ in name, staffing, method, funding, and emphasis; yet, they are joined by their increasing presence and importance to the university community. In The American College and University: A History , Rudolph defined the American university as a place with This definition of variety can be applied as well to the writing centers that developed as part of the university. Kinkead and Harris in Writing Centers in Context asserted this diversity as the major commonality among centers.

The UW Law School offers a broad range of opportunities for students to develop lawyering skills. Simulated and live-client experiences, internships, externships, and classroom skills courses are all a part of the hands-on experiential learning that makes the law come to life for UW Law School students and provides their future employers with mature, confident law graduates. A central part of this hands-on learning model is the school's clinical program, which exemplifies the law-in-action tradition that has become synonymous with the UW Law School. Clinical students receive a rich educational experience, applying the legal theory they have learned in the classroom to help real people outside of the classroom. The Law School also has a number of centers and institutes that serve varying educational missions and constituent groups. These range from a center focused on East Asian Legal Studies to one on Impaired Driving.
