Dear Liz (& all),<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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? <br>
<br>Thanks again -- especially if you've already shared this information!<br> <br>Peace and best,<br><br>Susan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 10, 2011 at 8:13 PM, J. Elizabeth Clark <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lclark@lagcc.cuny.edu">lclark@lagcc.cuny.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I think this looks amazing! I made two changes & highlighted them in pink. One was to add the liststerv to the list of things we "do." I think the listserv has proven, over the last month, to be a great site for networking. I also added students to our constituencies. See what you think.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm not sure about K-12. I have mixed feelings about it. I like Deborah's rationale. But, I'm still uncertain.<br>
<br>
<br>
What do others think?<br>
<br>
<br>
And, I think this is pretty close to being ready (how's that for smooth prose?) to go to the list.<br>

<br>
Now that CCCCs is done, let's see if we can't get the CBW Mission Statement done as well.<br>
<br>
The current statement is, thanks to Tom, up at the following address:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UnoaQ_GGxJimI00hL_S762tXvExfNsJNCQP3_10lmi0/edit?hl=en&authkey=CKS2veYC" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UnoaQ_GGxJimI00hL_S762tXvExfNsJNCQP3_10lmi0/edit?hl=en&authkey=CKS2veYC</a><br>
<br>
I've made a couple of minor tweaks (e.g. "benefiting"; "basic writing" rather than BW). I've also added a version of Tom's suggestion about K-12 interface: it's highlighted so that people can see what they think.<br>
<br>
Can everyone take a last look at this, discuss this last addition, and / or make other last minor changes as they see fit to the Google Doc itself?<br>
<br>
Almost there,<br>
<br>
Steve<br>
