I can't believe this semester is almost over - I feel like I just got the hang of peer tutoring and now I'm graduating in two weeks and seeing my last students this Thursday!
Originally, I took this course so I could peer tutor in a graduate school writing center, but now that I've pushed graduate school aside for a year or two, I'll be using my skills to critique my own stories before I send them out for publications, and hopefully I can use my experience to land a job in meantime. Maybe I can even write a story about my peer tutoring experiences and get it published (with names changed, of course).
I also read in Tashawn's post that she plans to be a teacher, and I'm glad she's able to get some experience peer tutoring before teaching in the classroom. I know some of us are going on to ENG 4905, but I was curious to see what everyone's goals are for tutoring. So now I'm curious to see what everyone's goals are for the end of the semester and beyond. I know some of us are going on to ENG 4905, but I was curious to see what everyone's goals are for tutoring - what drove you to peer tutoring and what will peer tutoring help you accomplish in future?
I can't believe the semester is basically over either! Feels like it has just flown by. It's interesting to hear your plans for after class, I think it would be awesome to further the research, studying, and experiences we have begun in this class and do something further with it. I graduate in the spring, so during the spring semester I will be taking ENG4905 and have discussed planning a proposal for a writing center in an impoverished school district that I plan to teach in with Dr. Wells. I am really excited about continuing my research in writing centers and being able to extend that research into real world possibilities and adventures!
ReplyDeleteI would really like to work in the RWC for my last semester of undergrad. My next plans are to work with Teach for America for a little bit, get my masters in Education, and start from there. I also have my TEFL certificate to teach English overseas. Regadless of what happens, I know I'll be teaching.
