We would appreciate help from anyone who is willing to complete or pass along the following surveys as part of ongoing research that will be presented at the upcoming Conference on College Composition and Communication. Our panel approaches Basic Writing theory in regard to teacher observation and training, how theory is deployed in composition classrooms, and how BW faculty interact on a day-to-day basis. The ultimate goal of the panel is to connect systemic issues in BW to local situations at colleges and universities. We hope to bring together stories from various institutions that can provide a valuable supplement to theory.

Feel free to contact me with any questions, and thanks for your help,
