I thought I had responded to this but it never went through :(.
My favorite brand of clothing is LuLu Lemon. There stuff isnt cheap- but everything has a five year warranty, the fabrics are great and the service at the stores and online is unbeatable. I have big boobs so their sports bras are all I wear.
And for shoes- always Nike for me. Everything else makes my feet hurt so bad.
Good luck!
i loveee my nike frees! i'm a nike whore for sure though haha so i'm slightly biased. they have seriously the cutest most comfortable shoes. as for clothes, I wear cut offs almost always because a breeze can go through and its loose but covers you up in the right places and dosen't ride. plus, I can wear my bf's old T's as cut offs (which is obv a plus!) shorts always go up my ass. it's hard to avoid that haha so don't feel bad! hope I helped!!
@stephanie ill have to look up the lulu lemon! ive never heard of it! thank you! and @katie im a nike whore too, so i understand being biased :) i have tried cut offs! thank you! im glad im not the only one with shorts riding up my ass aha thank you!
and @katie are frees shoes?
I love Target's exercise clothes. I use their semi-fitted capri running pants and their sports bra built-in tank top with a loose fitted-shirt over it. All 3 items they sell- which I loveee!! I feel super comfy and less self-conscious this way :)
Nike has the best sports/workout gear! Their Nike pro, and dry-fit which is similar to underamour but better, has the seams on the blade of your shoulders so they don't bother while you're working out. It also adjusts your your body size so it's not too tight or too loose. It absorbs your sweat leaving you dry and not allowing it to cling to your skin. The top of the line! Def recommend it girls!
For running shoes, I wouldn't recommend any one brand. If you can, go to a running specialty store. They will check your gait and if you bring your old shoes, they will check the wear on them and find a pair of shoes that work for you. They don't try to sell up like Footlocker or other big name stores do. I had horrible shin splints until I went and got fitted. I ended up liking New Balance best, even though I only wore Nike before that and I will NEVER look back! Of course, as I get stronger, I may need new things from my shoes and may change brands, but I would just try a fitting.

eLearning Africa 2012 Report free download
The report is based on a detailed survey of the experience of nearly 500 education professionals across Africa. It includes a detailed analysis by leading commentators from 41 countries of the prospects for African ICT-enhanced learning. It describes new trends, examines some of the possible obstacles to further development and considers the contribution ICT is making to the achievement of 'Education for All' in Africa. It also identifies the challenges and opportunities that are likely to define eLearning over the coming years.
Following its launch on Wednesday 23rd May, the Report, which is sponsored by WYSE and supported by the Association of Portuguese Language Universities (AULP), will be available to download for free at the following address:
http://www.elearning-africa.com/report2012 If you would like to be sent a copy of the full report, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
The eLearning Africa 2012 Report is the first significant attempt to provide a 'snapshot' of how ICT and better connectivity are believed to be changing the face of education in Africa. It is based on a detailed survey of the experience of nearly five hundred education professionals across the Continent and will confirm that ICT-enhanced learning has been widely embraced throughout Africa.
The Report, which will be presented by Mr Ahouéké at the opening session of the eLearning Africa conference in Cotonou, Benin on 23rd May, will show that 71 per cent of those surveyed are now using ICT-enhanced learning in their classrooms and 48 per cent use mobile phones for education.

I will crawl again....
For some reason we only associate milestones with babies. We talk a lot about what milestone our child has or has not hit, and one day it just stops. Our children reach certain age and milestones are no longer used to describe our children's achievements. We use a different language when a child grows we use words like meeting goals, and maturity levels, but really life is a milestone. Milestones are not just learning to crawl and walk but learning to grow, becoming an adult, becoming someone we like and feel good about. I have had many milestones in my life. I had a different childhood that took some healing to move past.
I had very hard teenage years ( i was literally mad at the entire world for about 7 years)and in time i matured past those days.
I married a great man and became a wife and tried hard in those beginning years to do it well, but i often failed.
(doesn't my husband look so young here)
I became a mommy very young and forced the maturity of becoming a parent probably way before i was ready. I grew into those years and being a wife and mom started to become second nature and easy and really enjoyable.
I hit a milestone.
I had a baby exactly 18 months ago and she turned out to be so different and so much more than i ever expected. I often doubted my ability in the last year, but i can honestly say i hit a huge milestone and have accepted parenting a child with special needs with pure joy and happiness.
What a huge milestone!
I am now in a new stage of my life. I am in a stage where i am learning what it means to be sick, what it means to not have the control we all mistakenly think we have. I am learning that doctors will sometimes give you great advice, and sometimes their words can hit so deep and hard. I am learning to trust, and also let go. I am learning that we rely so much on what a doctor tells us , but really it is Hashem who decides. These are all new milestones I'm hitting. New levels of understanding. I recently received bad news form a doctor, remember back here when i discussed my condition. The doctors originally felt i could live a pretty normal symptom free life, now many months later they decided to change their story. They fear that this very slow growing form of leukemia is actually showing up as a more aggressive than they thought. I have never had tears flood my eyes so quickly and so uncontrollably in my life. Me the pillar of strength melted on a bench in the middle of a hospital flooding my eyes with sadness, right in front of my children. I was alone with two kids and no one cared, people just walked by. I guess the bench right outside of the cancer institute is often filled with tears, and people stopped paying mind. This is new to me. I don't fall apart because i trust Hashem, but for the first times in my life i said in loud clear words standing in a parking garage holding the stroller with one hand and a juice box in the other "I am so mad at you Hashem, I HATE YOU" and i threw that juice box as far as i could throw it. Dovie started to cry because i threw his juice box, and i couldn't fix it because it was so gone.
The truth is i don't hate Hashem i just needed to tell him that i was mad like a child that screams i hate you, i think Hashem knew that.
I kept Dovie home from school yesterday and we went to the toy store. I told him you can have anything in this store, anything. We had so much fun. We played on the mini power wheels, and i showed him my hula hoop skills. I hope he forgave me.
This is my new milestone my new goal. I will reach this milestone whatever it may be and move on to the next. I will learn to crawl again if i need to, and i will take my first steps, but i will do it, i will conquer and achieve. This cancer WILL NOT TAKE ME DOWN IT WILL NOT!!!! I will see each and every one of my children to the Chuppah including Rozie, yes you read that right,my Rozie WILL get married, without a doubt, and i will be there. I will fight through tears and win through tears. I will not let the doctors push me around i am stronger than that. I will call my village if that is what i need. I will force some of you to get on airplanes or drive many hours, but i will call you.
This is not the end it is a beginning.
Thank you Hashem, i dont hate you, for the amazing blessings in my life.
Modeh Ani....
I love you my 3 kinderlach from the moon and back a million billion trillion times over.

All of a sudden, WOTM seems to really have been struggling for the past few months. A little more attention from you guys means a lot, thanks.

One of the nature's most wonderful bounties of late spring around here are strawberries.
but we can't wait to be able to pick some ourselves.
It's a fun little take on Strawberry Shortcake.
It's a great way to use those fresh strawberries and change it up a little.
And it just looks so darn pretty!
Then make the next layer.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
Plop in your thawed whipped topping.
And combine well.
Smooth over your cooled white cake.
Isn't this just a pretty and bright cake?
And it tastes so good too!

INDIANAPOLIS (WGR 550) -- Throughout the off-season, the Buffalo Bills have remained very firm in their belief that Assistant General Manager Doug Whaley wouldn't leave the franchise to pursue opportunities. With Saturday's news, it only confirms those thoughts.
The Bills announced that they have agreed to terms and have signed a contract extension with Whaley. Details of the contract were undisclosed.
Having been with the Bills since 2010, Whaley has been groomed by the Bills to eventually take over for GM Buddy Nix, whenever the day comes that the 73-year old decides to retire. It has not been decided, however, when that switch will occur has yet to be revealed.
"There is no timetable for that," Team President Russ Brandon said Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine. "But Doug Whaley is not going anywhere. He's our assistant GM, and he's in charge of all personnel, and Doug is -- he's locked in to Buffalo for the foreseeable future. There's no transition, timetable, plan. Buddy, he and I will meet when it's appropriate. But we haven't discussed that at all."
With the announcement of the extension on Saturday, Brandon reaffirmed that stance.
"We are very pleased with the structure of our football operation and look forward to working with Buddy, Doug and the entire staff for many years to come," he said. "As we have stated previously, there is no timetable for the transition. Our focus continues to be on building the foundation for a winning program."
Nix also chimed in via the team's press release.
"I am happy that we have secured Doug's services into the future and look forward to a smooth transition of the position when the time comes."
When meeting with the media on Thursday in Indianapolis, the GM addressed his future without revealing any details.
"Doug's situation hasn't changed. I think you're maybe less than confident in what you do, if you can't put your replacement in place," Nix said. "I was on the job three months when I hired Doug. Nothing's changed with him. My energy level or anything hasn't changed. Look, I'm not going to do this till I'm 100, I promise you. I'd like to know I'd be around till then. I'll decide that. I'll sit down with Russ and we'll do it. But to put a timetable on it, I started something and I'd like to see it through."
The Bills and the rest of the NFL will continue to scout and meet with players eligible for the 2013 NFL Draft in Indianapolis through Tuesday.

Fun Gifts for Sports Fans – A Little Christmas Inspiration
With Halloween over and Christmas fast approaching, our thoughts are turning to what gifts we will buy for our friends and family this festive season. Some people are always easier than others to go gift shopping for but anyone who has a real passion or a dedicated hobby normal falls into the former category. Almost everyone likes at least one sport; be it football, soccer, baseball or perhaps one of the motorsports. Here are a few gift ideas for sports fans from some of my online stores.
Whilst in the USA it's simply called football, to the rest of the world it's known as "American Football". This fun children's t-shirt features a cute cartoon drawing of a young football player in full uniform, holding a football. Shown here as a caucasian player in blue and white kit, other versions are available through my Artform the Heart store. The style and color of shirt can be changed on the product page and the text, which presently reads "I Love Football" can also be changed very simply using the text template field. This great gift is available on 50 styles and colors of t-shirt.
From the same series of football gift designs there's this fun graphic and typographic mousepad. On this example the football player is in a bright red and white uniform and the cartoon character is of African American origin.
From my Animatastic store there is the fun cartoon "Chick" range. Some of the designs in the range feature the cute little cartoon chicken wearing a t-shirt loosely based on each State's college football team uniform. The Chick range isn't just confined to sports/state chicks either, that are lots of different chick gifts available for party chicks, rock chicks, hippie chicks and more.
In America it's known as soccer, to most of the rest of the world it's football. This sweet little keychain from my Artform the Heart store has an illustration of a teddy bear wearing a green color t-shirt that has a black and white soccer ball on it. This makes a perfect little Christmas stocking filler gift for soccer moms!
Another of my little cartoon sportsmen characters. This time a little soccer player in a red strip with on foot resting on his ball. The text on this t-shirt reads "I date a soccer ace" but again, other versions are available in the store and the text can be changed very easily on the product page. Available on over 50 styles and colors of t-shirt.
For baseball or softball ball fans – I haven't forgotten you!! There is another little cartoon character available in 4 different color options and on a whole range of product types. The text on each product can easily be changed from "baseball" to "softball". Shown here is a Hispanic player in a black, white and grey uniform on a t-shirt shaped hanging ornament.
Whilst perhaps not quite so popular, rugby has not been left out at Artform the Heart! This funny cartoon rugby player, shown here in a blue kit, is available in a choice of 3 colors. He's obviously had a tough game because he has a blackened eye and is missing one or two teeth! A really fun coffee mug that makes a great Christmas gift for the rugby player or fan in your life this festive season.
Even if my own sports related designs haven't managed to inspire you with Christmas gifts for the sports fans in your life, you can browse thousands more designs in the zazzle marketplace. Here's just a very small sample of what's available.

I worked out a deal with a guy who lives down the street. He had an old car that he was going to sell for scrap, because he figured it was worth more that way. I figure that it will get me back and forth to my job and then if it quits I can call that place that gives you cash for junk cars. I need to find a place that has really cheap car insurance quotes online, but the car does run. It looks awfully rough on the inside and the outside, but Kevin is a mechanic and he says that the car is basically okay in most ways. The tires are not great and the engine burns a bit of oil for some reason, but you just have to keep checking it and then you are fine.
He says that he would probably not take it on a long trip, but I am just wanting it to get me to work and back. (more…)

Drive's Dubbo Diary - State of Origin day!
04/07/2012 , 3:14 PM by Jen Lacey
I am definitely enjoying my time in Dubbo but tonight I will be missing my tribe back home.
During the footy season I'm part of a motley crew that gathers in a draughty "clubhouse" to watch rugby league, yell at the TV (mostly at the ref) and celebrate or commiserate our team's victories and losses.
At the end of Game 2 of the State of Origin series a few weeks ago, we dubbed tonight's decider "Game 3: The Redemption"!
It's been years since NSW won a series and passionate Blues fans, like us, are more than ready for a fairytale win at Lang Park in Brisbane tonight.
Tonight, I'm without my crew but, I'm expecting an avalanche of text messages come kick off.
So, after today's Statewide Drive - I'm off to find a Dubbo footy tribe.
No doubt I'll discover a bunch of hardened Blues fans who'll be cheering for NSW tries aplenty.
I took this photo in Macquarie Street at lunchtime today.
I suspect the publican will be praying for an early onslaught of attacking football too. Let's just hope it's not from the Maroons.
So good luck boys, hope you have a terrific game. GO THE BLUES!
And don't forget you can hear full coverage of the game with the Grandstand team tonight.

I'll bring everything that is needed, including the following: my massage table with face cradle, sheets, blankets, a padded wool table warmer, bolster, towels, lotion/oil, music, and a fan diffuser with eucalyptus and/or lavender essential oils (can be substituted with essential oils of your choice if you have any).
Here's a little bit about myself:
My career in massage therapy began when I enrolled in Cortiva Institute Of Massage Therapy in April 2011, graduating in April of 2012. I practically stumbled across massage therapy in 2011, having always been the go-to-guy in the family for a good shoulder or back rub. I looked into Cortiva Institute and registered there, with the biggest draw for me being the science oriented education accompanying an education in massage therapy. About three weeks into school, I was sure that I had found my life-long calling. I now practice massage therapy with a technical knowledge and understanding of the body, and massage's effect on the body, while embracing an energy-oriented holistic approach.
I offer massage ranging from deep tissue or corrective/therapeutic styles to Swedish/relaxation massage, including trigger point, myofascial, and neuromuscular techniques. I am very passionate about massage therapy and believe strongly in its healing, life-enhancing effects and the true benefit of human touch. I put energy and care into every massage I give, and apply my science-oriented education to achieve optimal results in every session. I enjoy answering questions that you, as the client, may have about the techniques I use and the science behind them, or massage therapy in general.
Whether you're looking for a therapist to release your deepest knots to really get to the root of that long-lasting and possibly debilitating muscle ache or if you just want to relax in a peaceful environment while the skilled hands of a dedicated healer melt away the week's stress, schedule an appointment with me and let's embark on a journey to wellness together.
Massages Available: 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min. ($90; $130; $165) All prices inlcude travel and set-up/break-down.
*Special!: $20 0ff of your first 1 hour appointment, or $30 off your first 90 or 120 minute appointment with me!
Peter Sankus, LMT, NCTMB
email@example.com (preferred as first contact)
Not sure if massage is right for you, or if you have enough space? Just give me a call, and I'll answer any questions you might have.

-- now with our lead story the ideological war raging in America and it's not about theory it's about money.
Joining us now from the studios of ABC news New York the anchor Good Morning America and former advisor President Clinton -- -- us.
So we're quiet we're going wrong here George says you know Charles -- -- thinks that I'm not don't have the polls my finger on the pulse of the country.
What are you know I think he'd do I think -- got to drive it all all the way to the conclusion that they I think the country has decided the country has decided that they like the basically like the government.
The reforms -- first put in place by Franklin Roosevelt they like Social Security they like Medicare they think those programs.
Have made a difference they think those programs have benefited the country I think every single.
Election we've had in recent times have reinforced.
I deal well except for Ronald Reagan -- mediate isn't what I wanted to.
Sigh here we here's what we made we is what we may differ I think Ronald rating called for reforms.
In those programs and certainly reforms are going to be necessary in those programs to make sure we can afford them in the future but he did not repudiate them.
That is what's fundamental here what that I think that the country rejects.
Any kind of radical.
-- is Ryan didn't do that Romney didn't say he was going to cut Medicare all they wanna do is basically an privatize it for those who would.
Well I don't know what you know voluntarily want to go out -- that's trying to do in the campaign to say that it was President Obama.
Who was trying to cut Medicare remember having that what we're -- this -- time and time again and one of the reasons go back to 2010.
Go back to 20101 of the reasons that I think.
That Republicans in the Tea Party were successfully also ran against.
Those Medicare cuts back in 2000 and I think the economy had far more to do with the result is -- -- other party doesn't do about it was part of all right.
It's not about cutting is about changing the way it's delivered perhaps raising the age fort.
But anyway brother what he's open to some -- some of those half -- -- -- -- to -- a bigger deal but here's the important thing.
Last week and I don't know whether you reported this on Good Morning America but you should have.
The accounting office in general accountability office nonpartisan investigative arm of congress -- out.
-- that a yet another report that says government can't sustain the spending.
Now we reported on Friday very very few people reported they're basically telling the Obama administration he got to stop.
And that's what his own debt commission told you gotta stop right he's not going to stop he's gonna win.
-- -- -- -- -- and I saw that that's going to be very possible -- shorter and but I do think that -- what he wants to do it may be maybe we'll get through the house but he wants to increase the spending.
Rather than do with the GAO recommend.
I think one of the -- you saw from the president's speech yesterday and I gruesome and you set up in the talking points.
It right at the -- -- going to be impossible for him to do everything.
He wants to do I think part of -- -- speech recognizes that instead what the president was doing is enunciated in those principles for history.
I think he knows that he's got a very difficult slog in this congress over the next four years in this -- he just wants he'll just say here's the goals here's the direction I'm pointing in.
Way I don't know exactly what we can achieve with this is what I want -- Did you know I want my president to be a problem solver and I don't care what party he -- she is in.
And I don't see that here what's what's the difference between Bill Clinton's ideology.
And Barack Obama's ideology.
I don't think there's all that much different think different all his liberal alluded to both in the same.
Area of liberalism yeah I always thought that Clinton wasn't quite as liberal as profitable.
What you now -- it did depends on where it -- change I mean I think that I think on the fundamentals.
That the president announcing yesterday I think they're very much.
In -- -- haven't talked to President Clinton about the speech yesterday but my guess is he thought it was a exactly this speech that President Obama should be given.
Yesterday now -- is I'll answer your question is because it because Clinton was fairly successful in managing the economy.
And only -- its foot sign as you know the welfare reform act which I don't think Barack Obama -- -- -- a million years okay -- and I guess that in 1986 I agree with that of President Clinton also did sign a balanced admin -- icici -- -- -- much further to the left.
Then Bill Clinton was and I say to myself why -- -- -- Obama learn from Clinton who did manage the economy effectively.
I think that there -- I set I think they're pretty much in sync I think one of the interesting things that may have happened.
Is that -- that the center in the Republican Party has moved to right even to the right of where Newt Gingrich was in 1997.
If that doesn't have anything to do with a bomb on you know I might not look you know these guys but I did to me just based on public policy and what happened.
It looks like Obama -- -- to the left.

Lowther, Michael; McMillan, Wendy (Actuarial Society of South Africa, 2006)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper presents a model for what is termed Lifelong Professionalisation Learning for actuaries. The model is grounded on the proposition that professions are dynamic, offering the public varying quantities and qualities of professional aspects over time. The overall curriculum for the model is derived by ordering these aspects into cognitive, normative and organisational strands. Different aspects of the curriculum need to be addressed at the different stages of an actuary's career. Delivery of the curriculum may take many forms, and should be planned by national actuarial associations under the guidance of an education expert.

McMillan, Wendy; Parker, M.E. (Routledge, 2005)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper discusses quality evaluation of health sciences mentoring programmes. The discussion highlights the way in which perceptions of what constitutes quality shape evaluative purposes. Potential tensions between the evaluative purposes of various stakeholders are brought to the fore. To this end, the discussion explores the ways in which accountability shapes the evaluative purposes of funders and how the desire for programme knowledge and development frames the evaluative purposes of academics. Various approaches to programme evaluation are examined. The potential of reflective practice as a tool for examining quality for knowledge and development of programmes is considered. The paper concludes by presenting a framework for evaluating various aspects of quality in mentoring programmes. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/85 Files in this item: 1

McMillan, Wendy (Routledge, 2007)[more][less]
Abstract: Background: Current literature calls for the explicit teaching to health-science educators of the skills, knowledge and dispositions that are required for successful teaching in higher education. Aims: This paper draws on evidence from an Oral Hygiene department at a South African university in order to illustrate these teaching-competency needs. Insights from the evidence are synthesised with current literature regarding best teaching practice, in support of an appropriate framework for the development of teaching competencies to health-science educators. Description: A qualitative approach, using a case study, was adopted. The cohort comprised fifteen students in the first-year Oral Hygiene cohort class and the ten educators who taught their programme. Data was collected through semistructured interviews and open-ended questionnaires. The topics that emerged from the combined analysis of the interviews and the questionnaires were organised into a grid so that common themes could be identified. Current literature regarding teaching and learning was used as a framework for interpreting the empirical evidence, from which three categories emerged. The first category included suggestions from students regarding what to do to teach better. A review of the literature indicates that these competencies can be effectively learnt from self-help guides. The second category included requests for skills development. Literature review suggests that these might effectively be learnt from single-event workshops facilitated by more able peers. Responses in the final category highlighted the need for an underpinning theory of teaching and learning, and signalled the need for a more theoretically grounded and detailed approach to teacher development. Conclusion: The framework developed from the empirical study and current literature makes it possible for individual clinical teachers, and staff developers, to construct teaching-competency development plans that are pertinent to individual teachers' needs, relevant and practical, educationally sound, and cost-effective in terms of time and effort.

McMillan, Wendy (Maastricht University, 2007)[more][less]
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Literature suggests that a diverse body of healthcare graduates could extend health service delivery. However, the literature also indicates that the throughput of minority, working class, and historically disadvantaged students is problematic. Poor throughput is attributed to the way that university environments alienate some students. This brief communication highlights lessons learned from exploratory interviews with four first-year oral hygiene students at a university in South Africa. It provides insight into the issues that contribute to academic success and failure. METHODS: Semi-structured, individual interviews, to gain information regarding students' university academic experiences were conducted. Enablers and barriers to learning identified in the literature were used to capture themes. FINDINGS: The following three themes emerged: educational identity, language and finances. The analysis showed how a white middle class student recognized practices that are rewarded at university and how three, working-class, black students experienced tension between their expectations and experiences and the university culture. However, far from being victims, these students provided suggestions on how their transition might be facilitated. CONCLUSION: Evidence suggests that these students wanted both to be apprenticed into the new way of doing things while having their differences acknowledged. A model for education that initiates learners and also challenges the culture of power is suggested. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/60 Files in this item: 1

McMillan, Wendy (American Association of Dental Schools, 2005)[more][less]
Abstract: This article is located in the field of academic development in oral health science education. Specifically, it examines the academic difficulties experienced by oral hygiene students in their transition from high school to university. A qualitative approach was employed to elicit student and lecturer perceptions. Drawing on empirical evidence from a case study of a cohort of first-year oral hygiene students at a dental faculty in South Africa, the article contributes to an understanding of how first-year university students might be better prepared for the challenges of reading and writing in higher education. The voices of lecturers and students are used to highlight the nature of the difficulties that students experience in the transition from high school to university. The suggestions that students made regarding how the transition might be eased are also examined. The final section draws on these suggestions and presents a working model for an academic development module for first-year oral health students.

Robinson, Maureen; McMillan, Wendy (Elsevier, 2006)[more][less]
Abstract: In this article we argue that understanding the identities that teacher educators construct for themselves is central to effecting innovation within a changing policy environment. The article begins with a theoretical perspective on the nexus of change and identity. It then discusses the central features of identity amongst a group of teacher college educators who have been incorporated into a higher education institution in South Africa. The discussion focuses in particular on their new roles as researchers. We argue that the promotion of research needs to be based on what teacher educators already perceive to be their particular strengths and roles. The paper ends with some examples of strategies for research promotion in this particular setting. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/59 Files in this item: 1

Clarence, Sherran (SUN Media, 2011)[more][less]
Abstract: Writing and reading critically are core academic practices that many South African tertiary students struggle with throughout undergraduate study. This is partly due to a lack of competency in English as a first language, and partly due to a lack of preparation at primary and secondary school level. Critical reading and writing practices need to be developed simultaneously, and contextually. The Writing Centre at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) is currently exploring ways to make itself a more relevant and focused part of the University's teaching and learning interventions and strategies, and to make it more responsive to the multiple reading, writing and language needs of students. Influenced theoretically and practically by New Literacy Studies and Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) approaches, the Writing Centre is working to position itself as part of a teaching and learning environment that develops and supports both student writers and disciplinary lecturers. We aim to do this by foregrounding, theorising, researching and building a culture of writing intensive teaching that imagines and uses writing as a tool for learning, thinking and evaluation, as well as for assessment. In order to become a significant part of teaching and learning in higher education more generally, Writing Centres will need to work increasingly with lecturers to address the writing and reading needs of students in a supportive, critical and collaborative space that better serves the needs of both parties.
