ten grrl
Hi Folks,
I’m pleased to share the news that the WAC Clearinghouse (https://wac.colostate.edu) has released a new open-access book. It appears in the Practices & Possibilities book series, which I co-edit with Aimee McClure, Aleashia Walton, and Jagadish Paudel
Writing Placement in Two-Year Colleges: The Pursuit of Equity in Postsecondary Education
Edited
by Jessica Nastal, Mya Poe, and Christie Toth
Writing Placement in Two-Year Colleges brings together two-year college teacher-scholar-activists from across the U.S. to share stories, strategies, and data about local efforts at reforming writing placement assessment to advance educational access and equity. The chapters in this edited collection help faculty and writing program administrators navigate the shifting landscape of placement in the 2020s. Contributors demonstrate how two-year colleges have addressed local and state-level pressures for reform, especially at a time when the nation has been rocked by the COVID-19 pandemic with its inequitable economic, social, and physical toll..
You can find the book at https://wac.colostate.edu/books/practice/two-year/. This book, like other books published by the Clearinghouse, will be available in a print edition from University Press of Colorado in the coming months. Thanks to Jessica, Mya, and Christie for their work on the book and for their decision to share it with us as an open-access publication. Thanks as well to the anonymous peer reviewers who contributed to its development.
All the best,
Mike
