[CBW_Exec] CBW Misson Statement: Almost There!

[Susan Bernstein]

Dear Liz (& all),

I really like your changes. Good call.  For your K-12 question: because of
the prevalence of dual enrollment, and the potential benefits of
school/college connections, I think it's a good idea to collaborate as
practicable and possible with K-12 schools. I'm speaking from my own
experiences here, and for me the strongest collaborations  have had elements
of sustainability built into them. And having said that, I also have a few
questions.

What kinds of collaborations do EB folks have in mind? What kinds of
collaborations are already in progress? Are these equitable collaborations
between faculty at K-12 and post-secondary institutions?  Collaborations
between students in basic writing and younger students? Top-down
collaborations between post-secondary institutions and K-12 administrators?
Something else?

Thanks again -- especially if you've already shared this information!

Peace and best,

Susan
