Summary:
The document, Framework for Success in Post-secondary Writing, written by the
Council of Writing Program Administrators (CWPA), the National Council of Teachers of
English (NCTE), and the National Writing Project (NWP) describes a framework that
communicates the experiences, knowledge, and habits of mind that are essential for students
in their first year of college writing. Firstly, it mentions eight habits of mind, which are ways
of learning that can benefit the student in a variety of different fields. It also explains how
teachers can promote them through writing, reading, and critical analysis experiences.
Moreover, the Framework indicates that students that enter college with these habits will be
able to take on any writing challenge that is thrown at them.
