  1. Tutor Training Based on NWP Theory Laurel Taylor laurel.taylor@acps.k12.va.us

  2. Things I learned through the Middle Tennessee Writing Project • I am a writer. • I am a professional. • I can learn and share valuable lessons by spending time around other writers/teachers.

  3. How this impacted me as an educator and tutor • I embraced the title of author/wrier. • I learned to articulate WHY what I was doing worked and WHAT the research said about my methodology. • I prioritized time with other educators.

  4. The challenges of a high school writing center • Modern high schools are test-focused. • Lack of autonomy in curriculums • Always a “right” answer/format/approach

  5. Installing my NWP principles in my tutors—You are a writer! • Taking them through the writing process. • Writers’ Folders • Discussion of their writing processes • Theme for English B • We heart Anne Lamott • Metanarratives Writin' Titans Write On!

  6. Installing my NWP principles in my tutors—You are a professional! • Read scholarly articles so they have research to back up their approaches. • Use the lingo—HOCs and LOCs, Writer-Focues, etc. • Tutors as consultant to teachers and classroom visitor.

  7. Installing my NWP principles in my tutors—You gain the most from learning from and sharing with each other! • Metanarrative discussions as a way of understanding other peoples’ writing process • Lots of conversations about their own writing experiences • Each part of the process: • How we approach it… • What we are thinking/doing while we write… • How we receive help at that stage… • Tutoring in Pairs • Peer Observations • Returning tutors as lead tutors
