Hi everyone,
Center Moves: A Peer-Reviewed Archive of Tutor Training Materials is seeking lessons you have for the 5th issue about training tutors to work with writers and writing across disciplines.
The editors picked this theme because many of you are at the IWAC conference — maybe at the Center Moves panel right now! — and are thinking about how disciplinary writing appears in your centers and the ways you support novice tutors to feel confident about working in genres or with content that they are unaccustomed to seeing.
Proposals might discuss, but are not limited to, the following topics related to the theme:
- how to train tutors to consult on particular genres
- how to learn writing or rhetorical strategies that might transfer across genres or disciplines
- how to gain insight about genre or disciplinary conventions from the writers or other resources in a session
- how to build confidence speaking with writers about unfamiliar content or genres
Submissions for this theme must be designed to prepare tutors to consult writers who are writing in unfamiliar or discipline-specific genres.
Please reach out to me or the other editors if you have an idea but aren’t certain if it’s worth proposing. We collaborate a lot with all of the authors through the issues to make sure you feel confident about what you are submitting.
Or, if you have an idea for a lesson related to our other theme for issue 5 on training tutors to check in with writers throughout the consultation session, please consider submitting that!
The deadline to apply has been extended until July 31st!
To submit a proposal or learn more about the process, please see the Center Moves website.
Reach out with any questions!
~Erin
