Is it possible to list a few more ex board people on the CBW SIG proposal? If so, could you add my name there?<br><br>I agree with Kathleen regarding the word "seminal." "Germinal" would be one alternative. My word thesaurus also lists "decisive" and "influential." Those also could work.<br>

<div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">A swift rhetorical analysis of the Call for Proposals for CCCC 2012 reveals this: it is replete with the language of basic writing but sidesteps direct
reference to it. Neither the word “basic” nor “developmental” appears in the body CFP, yet the tropes emerging from the narratives of and theory on basic writing reverberate everywhere in it. For example, when we read “…our field is fundamentally about the
transitions that literacy brings to individual lives and collective destinies” (Anson 2011), we cannot help but think about Mike Rose’s Lives on the Boundary. And “…a successful passage can also mean loss: leaving behind one’s culture or language, taking
on questionable new roles, or joining exclusionary communities of practice” brings to mind immediately the dialogue between Rodriguez’s The Hunger of Memory and Villanueva’s Bootstraps, while “…checkpoints—thresholds that promise a welcome transformation,
new state of being, or a journey onward, and borders that can block, reject, and turn away” echoes Bartholomae’s “Inventing the University.” And of course, “How does our field monitor gateways created by others?” raises Shaughnessy’s Errors and Expectations
to the foreground.</span> </p>
</div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> </p>
<div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Yet the most recent of those texts was published in 1993—what of basic writing almost two decades later? Perhaps the questions raised by these seminal
texts have been fully integrated into discipline writ large and no longer require the “pull-out” or “remediation” of separate, specialized attention? Yet basic skills continues to dominate the cultural and social landscape as a central concern. Public policies
focused on everything from financial aid to credit accumulation have become part of a very public discussion about basic skills in general. And, increasingly, foundations like Lumina and Gates have begun to consider the issue of basic skills in higher education.
Despite this, those who teach, research, and study basic skills continue to be pushed to the sidelines of discussions about higher education.</span>

and its students and teacher scholars a productive force within composition; is under attack by exclusionary public policies; and therefore must be recognized publicly and supported by CCCC as a conference cluster and with featured sessions.” It will do so
by highlighting both the exclusionary forces at work as well as productive responses on local campuses demonstrated through evidence-based practices. This workshop will also provide critical support for basic writing educators by creating networking opportunities
to work with faculty from across the United States in a focused, sustained way.</span>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The Accelerated Learning Program is an innovative strategy for increasing student success in developmental education. The Accelerated Learning Program
targets students who place into upper-level developmental writing courses and features a “mainstreaming” approach by which students bypass remedial English, enrolling directly in freshman English along with a supplemental support section. The program has doubled
the success rate for students placed in developmental writing at Community College of Baltimore County. This presentation will focus on CCBC's model and the ways that other colleges are using the model on their campuses.
