JEB Stuart Writing Center

I think that the JEB Stuart Writing Center is a good idea, except we may have been the wrong group to start it with.  I think that if we were actually going to have had a chance to run it, instead of just planning it, we would have gotten much more into it.  That would have made it easier to wake up on the PLC mornings.  I do think that the Writing Center has the potential of helping the writing abilities of many students at JEB Stuart.  I think the main task will be convincing kids that they should go.  I think that the different groups we were split into, like scheduling, can help with this issue, though.  In scheduling, we worked on different plans for how to distribute times that tutors would work at the writing center, and students would go to the writing center for help.  We also had to think of ways to convince teachers that the writing center was a good place to send their students.  We came up with a plan to have passes for students to go to the writing center, and for tutors to go work at the writing centers.  We also planned on how to set up a schedule, with a group of people alternating through the different Raider Times to work at the writing centers and make it equal.  I think that this helped me developed good planning skills because we had to anticipate different possible outcomes and problems with the scheduling and try to prevent them.
