Personal Librarian and First Year Experience Librarian Conference
(2018)
Abstract
The Research & Writing Studio at Western Washington University offers a practicum for students needing more support in classes with a research and writing focus. Now in its third year, the practicum provides students with individual learning plans designed for each student’s specific needs. Those enrolled in the program are students from traditionally underserved populations. It provides students with the support and the space to develop agency in their own learning. This presentation will cover the background and development of the program and explore the initial research on how the practicum has impacted students’ agency.
