This document discusses improving academic writing skills. It notes that college faculty prioritize grammar and style, but many high school graduates score poorly on writing assessments. This is because Ohio schools have focused so much on standardized tests that grammar instruction has been neglected. As a result, students lack foundational writing knowledge. The document proposes a plan for teachers of different subjects to collaborate and incorporate more writing instruction. It provides guidelines for good academic writing and defines "no-brainer" grammar mistakes that will be penalized in student papers. The overall goal is to help students develop into stronger writers who can succeed in college.
