Realizing Their Strengths and Assessing Their Needs. Position Statement
National Council of Teachers of English
This document first identifies multiple assets student veterans often bring to writing classrooms and then acknowledges some of the special considerations that writing instructors and writing program administrators (WPAs) should take into account when working with student veterans. After presenting these generalizations, the document offers classroom instructors and WPAs some more detailed answers to the question, "What do I need to know about working with student veterans?" A list of references and further reading, organized roughly by field of study--from composition and writing studies to disability studies and student services--is provided at the end of the document.
