Peter Adams
Peter Adams is the creator of and nations leading expert on the Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) and a passionate advocate for updating the current structure of developmental education in America to help more students succeed. As a teacher at the Community College of Baltimore County, Peter saw the opportunity to improve success rates among students placed in developmental writing courses, and so he created and developed the ALP model to meet that need. Peter spent eight years teaching ALP and an additional seven years training faculty across the country on how to implement the ALP model. As of 2017, more than 300 schools in 20 states offer sections of ALP and 7 states have adopted the model statewide. Through his deep experience with the course, its students, and its instructors, Adams truly understands the challenges of this course and is uniquely qualified to author The Hub. Peters professional experience includes tenure with the editorial board of the Journal of Basic Writing and leadership positions with the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC). His two influential articles "Basic Writing Revisited" (Journal of Basic Writing, 1993) and "The Accelerated Learning Program: Throwing Open the Gates" (Journal of Basic Writing, 2009) were both major catalysts for the nationwide movement toward mainstreaming basic writers.

Product Updates
Exciting new Reading/Writing Projects:
- Individual and Community There’s safety—and comfort—in numbers, but communities always restrict membership. Students explore this tension as it plays out in a wide range of groups.
- Immigration In 1883 Emma Lazarus wrote: “Give me your tired, your poor / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” In that same year, the United States enacted the Chinese Exclusion Act, the first and only immigration law designed to restrict a particular group. Students explore the tensions that have characterized American attitudes toward immigration and draw conclusions about how to enact American ideals.
- Disability Considerable progress has been made to remove obstacles to full participation of people with disabilities, but more work remains. Since almost everyone will be disabled or care for someone who is, students explore a struggle that has the potential to affect us all.
20+ new readings Thoroughly refreshed readings now include selections from writers as varied as Ta-Nehisi Coates, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Gloria Anzaldua, Elizabeth Kolbert, and Andrew Pulrang.
New support to help students be their best selves Coverage includes requesting an accommodation and expressing your true self, even in academic writing.
Updated MLA formatting and citation guidelines Up-to-date MLA (2021) style guidelines offer thorough advice and ample models.
