| Abstract: | To support the development of scientific literacy and student confidence in expressing their ideas and receiving feedback, the first author established a writing center in a large urban fringe high school. Using the peer-assisted learning (PAL) model, the center fostered leadership, emotionally supported students as they developed peer collaborations, and built student self-confidence while they learned to engage in rich science discourse and communicate in multiple ways. This article outlines some of the benefits and logistics of creating and running a writing center. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
