I promote reflective writing and challenge the rote, assembly-line composing that unduly constrains the composition process of writers, skilled and unskilled alike. Where argumentative skill is a critical outcome, I design assignments that invite students to reconsider directionless composition that writes about a topic but argues nothing. I also heavily emphasize revision that rewards writers who take a risk to truly revise instead of merely edit. In writing center theory seminars, I again promote reflectiveness as a key habit of successful tutoring. Readings cover broad cross-sections of foundational and recent writing center theory, and in-class discussion examines both the context and the evolution of tutoring practice. My assignments prompt reflection on developing tutoring identity and practice, and ingrain research as a mode of improvement.
