Abstract

As writing specialists, members drawn from the writing studies community of Canada instantiated in academic writing-related associations (such as those listed at the end of this document) have put together the following statement on writing centres and staffing. Our goal in writing this statement is to promote academic excellence for all students. We believe that writing centre staff require knowledge of writing studies research and proven instructional models. This document was endorsed by the Canadian Association for the Study of Discourse and Writing on May 30, 2016.
