Reflection: Writing Center Pedagogy

I am a fan of Writing Center pedagogy but a version of it that works alongside the classroom. I think the pedagogy of the writing center needs to interact and cooperate with the classroom pedagogy as a way of making the transition between these spaces smooth for the student. If the writing center is not ultimately helping the student improve the things the teacher is trying to improve (based on learning objectives and outcomes) than the student is not succeeding (even if the writing is getting better on some level). At the end of the day, students will be assessed and the things happening in the writing center should be reflected positively in that assessment.
