Basic Theories for Tutoring
Like any field, Writing Centers have pedagogies, or a set of teaching theories we often use as a basis for our work. These are just theories, ways of explaining what we do; you need not subscribe to any one particular theory, and you need not agree with all (or any!) of them. Writing Center pedagogies can also be quite binary; that is, they tend to frame ideas in as either/or rather than a spectrum. As you read, think about how these binary ideas can be productive, but also how they can limit ways of thinking.
All of these have their pros and cons, and you’ll sometimes find that some Writing Center and Composition theorists tend to point out more problems than solutions. This section is simply meant to give you some background for thinking about how Writing Centers operate.
