Is it possible to get a copy of that issue somehow? Alice

Subject: [LIT] Writing Centers in Middle School? The Nov/Dec issue of "The Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues, and Ideas" is a special issue focused on "The Writing Center and Beyond." I found the articles interesting discussions of the writing center at high schools and colleges. As one of the articles indicated, implementing a writing center is being proactive in the education crisis. I'm wondering if there is a middle school somewhere that has opened a writing center? I'm thinking of proposing that to my principal as a way to strengthen "writing across the curriculum," something he is pushing the faculty to institute. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a clear vision of what "writing across the curriculum" would entail, so he is pushing instead of leading, but that's another story.. To repeat my query, do you know of a middle school that has a writing center? How is it used and how is it staffed?
