What Bouquet’s, North’s one and two all wrote about how a writing center should work, it’s their philosophy on how to run the perfect writing center. What the three agreed on was that writing is a process and they value coaching. This is all that they seemed to agree on. They both had ideas that were unrealistic. I think North realized his mistakes and recanted a few.
North felt…
1. Students would coming looking for a writing center, it would be so many people they would have to be turned away at the door….(We wish).
2. Students aren’t as motivated as he once thought
3. Teachers aren’t as supportive I he would like
4. Disappointed that peer coaches are looked down upon, lower than the teachers.
5. It much harder then he hoped
6. Not enough training for student coaches
I love how Bouquet down plays “fix-it shop” and want to scrap everything and go with her gut. Hell with the product, let’s start with the thing process…. She got to be a mom! There was a more therapists style in her coaching, something’s broke let’s fix it mentality. I felt more a connection here, surprise, surprise…heheh
