Abstract
This article highlights ways writing center administrators (WCAs) can integrate Generative AI (GenAI) into tutor training, focusing specifically on role-playing exercises. Drawing on modified prompts from Mollick and Mollick (2023, 2024), I provide two scenarios for tutors-in-training: GenAI as Tutor and GenAI as Student. These scenarios allow tutors to engage with GenAI from both perspectives, offering opportunities to practice tutoring skills, reflect on their practices, and critically evaluate GenAI’s effectiveness as a tutor. Rather than presenting a formal research study, this piece aims to make the practice of using GenAI in tutor training more accessible by showcasing how prompts were adapted for a writing center context. While challenges in implementation remain, these activities demonstrate the potential benefits of incorporating GenAI into tutor preparation.
