Cascadia College

This presentation discusses the collaborative relationship that has formed between Cascadia College’s Writing Center and its FYC program as we locate writing tutoring within the curriculum. We will discuss the transformative role of the Writing Center in ENGL&101 through our use of a Writing Center Liaison, Summary Diagnostic Writing Assessment (scored by tutors), and our Embedded Tutoring program in the Pre-College Co-requisite model and ENGL&101. We will share data on student writing and reading behaviors, and how this intentional collaboration between English Faculty and tutors has resulted in more concrete, connected writing support.

This is a comprehensive study! Do the tutors play in role in supporting the instructors' work, such as feedback on assignment/assessment designs?

Hi Randall! No, typically tutors support what the instructors have already designed, but I know a few instructors who have had a more collaborative relationship with their Embedded Tutors, or have involved them in assignment creation. I hope we can chat about this further on Friday! Thanks for your comment.
