Abstract
In this interactive workshop, tutors and writing center directors will be invited to reimagine how they scaffold individual sessions. By engaging in hands-on activities, group discussions, and take-home materials, attendees will walk away from this workshop with greater clarity about how to utilize the “hidden curriculum” present in all sessions: how it shapes the tutor’s understanding of their role, the writer, and what it means for a session to be successful.
