The WPA Outcomes Statement-A Decade Later (Writing Program Administration)

This collection of 20 essays presents reflections on the WPA Outcomes Statement. The text is organized into three sections. They consider adapting the WPA OS to develop curriculum; applying the WPA OS to enact programmatic, institutional and disciplinary change; and cultivating intellectual enrichment of the WPA OS through critique. Essays range from the politics of basic writing, to authority and ethos in writing programs, to developing national outcomes, to the role technology should play, competing discourses within the WPA OS, and more. The contributors are instructors of writing, communication, composition and rhetoric from around the United State. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
