Re: High School Writing Centers

[Eric Hobson <cfehh@ux1.cts.eiu.edu>]

Start with __The High School Writing Center: Establishing and Maintaining
One__ Ed. Pamela B. Farrell (now our dear, Pamela Childers) Urbana: NCTE, 1989.

Also, check on the subject in __Writing Centers: An Annotated Bibliography__
by Murphy, Law, and Sherwood. Westport: Greenwood, 1996.

Keep an eye out for the forthcoming __Writing Center Resource Manual__ Ed.
Bobbie Silk, Emmitsburg, MD: NWCA Press, 1998.

Finally, talk to the master herself--Pam Childers at

Hope this helps
