The student projects presented in this book demonstrate a powerful approach to teaching writing, one that requires no special equipment or resources and can be adapted for students of any age. The key is getting students involved in action research and in writing about issues that are important to them and their communities. Written by public school teachers, these chapters describe projects covering a variety of issues, including avoiding teenage health risks, preserving oral histories, fighting racism, investigating environmental hazards, decreasing instances of teen pregnancy, and much more. Based on a process-model of writing instruction, these projects will show teachers how to engage their students while also teaching the basic skills that appear in educational standards and assessment frameworks.

A GUIDE FOR CHANGE is designed for instructors and students who would like to integrate "real world" writing projects into their courses. The wide range of writing options presented include, a letter to the editor, an article for a community newsletter, a research paper geared toward a topic of community interest for submission to local government or community agency, and an informational brochure or a grant proposal. While different from academic writing, these writing activities directly reinforce for students the need to follow a form that is appropriate to a particular situation and to take the audience's expectations into account. The opportunity for students to pursue "real writing" for their class or community challenges them to engage the attention of their audience, to inform them honestly, and to convince them to listen to their point of view. A GUIDE FOR CHANGE provides a complete guide for incorporating "real world" writing projects into the classroom with a variety of practical worksheets, two casebooks, and models of community service writing projects. It can be used alone or with the companion reader, WRITING FOR CHANGE.

Encapsulating Mary Pipher's years as a writer and therapist, it features rousing commentary, personal anecdotes, memorable quotations, and stories of writers who have helped reshape society.

Writing Centers at the Center of Change looks at how eleven centers, internationally, adapted to change at their institutions, during a decade when their very success has become a valued commodity in a larger struggle for resources on many campuses. Bringing together both US and international perspectives, this volume offers solutions for adapting to change in the world of writing centers, ranging from the logistical to the pedagogical, and even to the existential. Each author discusses the origins, appropriate responses, and partners to seek when change comes from within a school or outside it. Chapters document new programs being formed under changing circumstances, and suggest ways to navigate professional or pedagogical changes that may undermine the hard work of more than four decades of writing-center professionals. The book’s audience includes writing center and learning-commons administrators, university librarians, deans, department chairs affiliated with writing centers. It will also be useful for graduate students in composition, rhetoric, and academic writing.

"How can we design for equity and justice in our community partnerships? This field guide offers a vision for enacting social justice with community partners. Working from a community's resources and strengths toward the goal of building its internal capacity, this book considers how actions such as grassroots activism, decolonization efforts, co-resistance movements, and social change initiatives can support reciprocity and mutuality. Community is the Way provides examples of concrete, situated action grounded in disciplinary knowledge and extensive fieldwork. Reflecting on her experiences operating a community writing program, author Aimée Knight argues that the equity-based approach described in this book requires a commitment to interrogating how power, oppression, resistance, privilege, penalties, benefits, and harms are built into the systems we seek to change. Knight offers a community-led approach that builds bridges of understanding and support and charts a path toward transformative change"--
