values and interests. (My editor role asks for “benefiting”<br>
to be spelled with one t.) Great work on constructing a mission statement that connects the practical and the ideal. --Bill

I also agree with Shannon. As people suggest revisions, however, please know that as we were drafting, we decided to avoid the label "basic writer" because of its essentialist connotations as a fixed category. Instead, we're looking for some version of "student(s)
enrolled in Basic Writing" -- an existential position rather than a permanent identity.<br>
<br>
Thanks and best,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Shannon; the document is strong as it is. I also like Deborah's suggestion about making explicit connections between ourselves and 6-12 faculty. Maybe something like this: "Collaborate with secondary education faculty to facilitate
smooth transitions from high school to college for students identified as basic writers." <o:p></o:p></p>

For what it's worth, I think this looks great as is and am happy to<br>
