Book Description
Designed to allow teachers immersed in Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) programs and those still contemplating increasing the use of writing in their courses to peer into classrooms of those who have participated in such programs for years, this book reports on the long-term impact upon faculty of WAC programs. The book studies WAC programs--collecting interviews, questionnaires, classroom observations, student evaluations, and course documents from more than 700 faculty, 1-15 years after their first WAC experiences. In the study reported in this book, the focus is in trying to understand how faculty members themselves construct the meaning of their WAC experiences. The book finds that faculty used the same criteria for adopting WAC strategies as for rejecting them--whether the strategy (1) created community in the classroom; (2) enhanced learning; (3) was feasible; and (4) fit the faculty members' priorities and teaching style. The book offers detailed examinations of the WAC programs at the University of Cincinnati (Ohio), Towson State University (Maryland), and Whitworth College (Washington). The voices of faculty members presented in the book come from departments of geography, nursing, criminal justice, math, music, and international business. Appendixes provide questionnaire responses.

Book Description
The author argues for much greater attention to ethical education and responds to sceptics who say that it can't be done in the face of a pluralistic secular society badly fragmented over values. Seeking always for themes and issues that unite rather than divide, the author provides a conceptual foundation for ethical education broad enough for building consensus among teachers and parents, yet focused enough to provide guidance for highly specific learning activities. The second half of the book takes the reader through a carefully devised series of steps by which a school community might proceed in building their ethical school. The final chapter reminds of the many difficulties to be met along the way, but offers encouragement to strengthen the resolve of the school community. The book concludes with two helpful appendices: the first provides detailed information on exiting initiatives already underway in ethical education, the second offers an annotated bibliography of books and essays which are available for those educators who need or want to read more on the topic of ethical education.
