Why Is Kenneth Bruffee Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Kenneth Bruffee was an American writing center administrator and professor emeritus in the department of English at Brooklyn College. Background Bruffee published the first peer tutoring handbook, A Short Course in Writing, in 1972. While a writing program administrator at Brooklyn College, Bruffee played a leading role in the development of writing center studies, and collaborated with both educators and administrators across several CUNY institutes to establish peer tutoring as a standard academic support service within NYC public higher education. The rise of writing centers was necessitated by a growing population of students who were unprepared for college writing. In 1979, Bruffee and colleagues founded the Brooklyn College Institute for Training Peer Tutors, which trained peer tutors and encouraged the development of writing centers and writing labs.
