Description: "For departments, programs, and individuals, this collection levers the Outcomes Statement in all its simplicity and its complexity into a rich discussion of the programmatic essentials of writing theory and pedagogy - and what these look like at writing programs informed by the Outcomes Statement. It is written in the hope that faculty and administrators alike will use the WPA Statement as a tool for cyclically reflecting on their own programs and practice."--Jacket.
Notes: Includes bibliographical reference (p. [228]-233) and index.
This volume of essays reflects on the process that led to the development of the "WPA outcomes statement," and includes debate on the many theoretical, pedagogical, political, and assessment issues that the outcomes statement raises.
