This *unpublished* webpage titled When Capable Students Fail: The Academic Sustainability Gap offers some intriguing information for those who teach writing at the college level, especially those who teach basic or developmental writing courses. The most practical information comes from the page on "Closing the Gap," which lists 7 things teachers can do to help close the gap between ability and sustainability.

The site is created by Katie Hern, an English instructor at Chabot in California, with support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, in conjunction with the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
