The WAC Clearinghouse Bibliography

Welcome to the WAC Clearinghouse Bibliography. The bibliography, developed and presented in collaboration with CompPile, was developed to support teachers across the disciplines who are interested in using writing and speaking in their courses; scholars who are interested in WAC theory and research; and program administrators, designers, and developers who have interests in the latest work in faculty outreach, program design, and assessment.

To view entries in the bibliography, follow the links to the right. If you are a member of the Clearinghouse, you can add, update, or delete any entries you have added to the bibliography.

What the Writing Tutor Needs to Know is a book for training peer tutors in Writing Centers and Writing Fellows programs. What makes it unique is that it deals more directly with the issues related to tutoring in Writing Fellows Programs than other peer tutoring materials, and it has numerous exercises and student sample papers. It should be equally useful for training tutors in Writing Centers. It is based on my 15 plus years of training writing tutors.
