Framework for Success: Background
Context of development• response to Common Core Standards (K-12)
• “college readiness”
• scope: “This document...describes habits of mind and experiences with writing, reading, and critical analysis that serve as foundations for writing in college-level, credit-bearing courses” (2).
Process of development (O’Neill, et al, 2012) • spring 2010: task force of 23 members, from 3 organizations: CWPA, NCTE, & NWP
• 4 team leaders: 1 from each organization + the task force chair
• iterative process: task force members respond to questionsteam leaders compose a drafttask force gives feedbackleaders of 3 organizations give feedbackmembersof the profession give feedback
• January 2011: Framework for Success finalized
Connection to WPA OS• Framework for Success intentionally modeled after WPA OS

Other IntersectionsMapping exercises not included in today’s presentation:
◦ IL Frames in the Experiences with Writing, Reading, and Critical Analysis
◦ Findings very similar to the work in previous presentation that mapped the Framework for IL to the WPA OS
◦ Shared concepts across all sections of both documents
◦ Places where Introductions to both documents are doing the same work
Where to find them:◦ “The Frameworks, Comparative Analysis, and Sharing Responsibility for Learning
and Assessment” (Grettano and Witek), forthcoming chapter in Rewiring Research & Writing: Frameworks for Information Literacy in a Digital Age (ed. Randall McClure, 2016, ACRL Press)
Comparative / textual analyses as exercises in shared meaning-making◦ You can do this too!
◦ And by so doing, you will situate the resulting maps and intersections within the needs of your own campus curricula.

Facilitating Collaboration“Imagine that you enter a parlor. You come late. When you arrive, others have long preceded you, and they are engaged in a heated discussion, a discussion too heated for them to pause and tell you exactly what it is about. In fact, the discussion had already begun long before any of them got there, so that no one present is qualified to retrace for you all the steps that had gone before. You listen for a while, until you decide that you have caught the tenor of the argument; then you put in your oar. Someone answers; you answer him; another comes to your defense; another aligns himself against you, to either the embarrassment or gratification of your opponent, depending upon the quality of your ally's assistance. However, the discussion is interminable. The hour grows late, you must depart. And you do depart, with the discussion still vigorously in progress.” –Kenneth Burke, The Philosophy of Literary Form, 110-111
