4 2018 NCTE ANNUAL CONVENTION PROGRAM

WELCOME v

Change is hard. Teachers and students live with this reality every day. Even harder than change is transformation, the kind of change that alters who we are forever. Yet transformation is exactly what happens in the presence of powerful teaching and learning, especially in English classrooms where we use language to negotiate new understandings about ourselves and our world. Rina Moog, English Journal, 2007

On behalf of the NCTE Executive Committee and our Executive Director, Emily Kirkpatrick, I want to welcome each of you to the 2018 Annual Convention in Houston, Texas! We hope that your time at this Convention is a time of transformation. We hope that in the company of other passionate literacy educators, you come away with a renewed purpose and energy because of the interactions you’ll have here this week.

This year’s convention theme, “Raising Student Voice: Speaking Out for Equity and Justice,” gives us an opportunity to celebrate student voice in a way that pushes us to think about our classrooms and beyond. As teachers committed to literacy learning, we know the power of our students’ voices and have always been committed to our role in raising those voices. At this year’s Convention we’ll think about the role of student voice as it relates to equity and justice. I am hoping that each and every participant finds opportunities for learning, sharing, and networking at NCTE18.

We’ve designed a Convention that we hope gives you opportunities to not only reenergize, but also pushes you to new thinking and new understandings. Make sure to join us for our general sessions this year. Together with all of the amazing featured and concurrent sessions, we think all convention participants will be able to make choices that meet their needs. We know you won’t be able to attend every session, and that is actually by design. We want you to find the sessions that make sense for your personal learning. We hope that with so many choices, you’ll build a Convention that works for you!

NCTE believes in the power of social interaction when it comes to teacher learning, and we know that the NCTE Annual Convention is an important time for members to connect with old friends and to make new ones. We hope that you’ll take some time for networking and informal conversations around literacy. We want you to make time to talk with other educators, whether that is over dinner, in the Exhibit Hall, at Friday’s NCTE All-Attendee Event, or sitting in the halls with a cup of coffee.

The Exhibit Hall is a high-energy space filled with books, authors, and colleagues. This year we’ve added a new stage in the Exhibit Hall, a place where you can go to “Build Your Stack®.” NCTE members know that the right book in the right hands can change a life. #BuildYourStack is an initiative focused exclusively on helping teachers build their book knowledge and their reading stacks. Join us at the #BuildYourStack stage to learn about new books and to meet other NCTE members who share your love of books.

A Convention is defined and redefined as more voices become part of the planning. So many people contributed time and energy to make this Convention happen. Thank you to the program reviewers, the presenters, the Local Arrangements Committee, and volunteers. And of course, we couldn’t run a Convention without the incredible expertise and dedication of the NCTE staff.

We hope that you have a great Convention! Franki Sibberson 2018 Annual Convention Program Chair NCTE President-Elect

2018 NCTE ANNUAL CONVENTION PROGRAM 9

Membership_Program_Ad.indd 1 10/19/18 8:00 AM WELCOME to the 108th NCTE Annual Convention

On behalf of the strong team producing this year’s event and its many parts, we welcome you to the dynamic experience known as the NCTE Annual Convention. Some of you are joining us from far away, some of you live right here in Houston, but for the next several days we come together as one community to share, learn, and grow together.

This year’s Convention features exciting new opportunities, including:

Build Your Stack®, a member-led effort to increase conversation around books. You can attend a set of 35 unique sessions in the Exhibit Hall. Each 20-minute session will feature authors and educators talking about their favorite books and how to use them in the classroom.

Build Your Box—NCTE’s Convention is well known for the volume of free and low-priced books that attendees bring back home. We are pleased to offer free boxes for shipping those books. This is part of an eco-friendly effort to recycle the boxes shipped to Houston for the Convention. You can find small, medium, and large boxes to suit your needs, at a centrally located UPS Center to ship at market prices—hassle free.

All-Attendee Event—Be sure to join us for our second annual all-attendee event on Friday night. Listen to an engaging discussion with a panel of popular authors, facilitated by long-time NCTE member and beloved author Sharon M. Draper. NCTE will provide a reception afterward, filled with collegial conversation, refreshments, and celebration of our community gathering in Houston.

More Writing!—This year we welcome the National Writing Project (NWP) as one of our content strands, which means you can experience a whole new host of sessions focused on writing. And if you’re looking to be inspired while you eat, Sunday’s inaugural NWP Brunch is proving to be quite popular.

We acknowledge the incredible support of the Texas Council of Teachers of English Language Arts and the West Houston Area Council of Teachers of English in producing this event. We could not do it without them. We are proud of our affiliate network across the country and the important role they play in every Convention.

As you savor this experience over the next few days, keep an eye to the future as well. We look forward to celebrating with you again in Baltimore, Maryland, November 21–24, 2019. The call for proposals will open on Sunday, November 18, 2018.

Each participant in the NCTE Convention is an important part of the community that makes it such a rich and rewarding experience. We are so glad you’re here, and we look forward to learning with you.

Warmly, Emily Kirkpatrick NCTE Executive Director

20 2018 NCTE ANNUAL CONVENTION PROGRAM SESSION STRANDS

Convention sessions with a special focus or in special sequences fall into session strands. Attend multiple sessions within a single strand for an in-depth learning experience with any of these important themes:

Early Childhood Education Strand sessions focus on issues pertaining to the education of children from birth to age eight, their families, and their teachers. Early literacy is a key concept in these sessions that also address diversities in early childhood and highlight practices and processes that are situated in social, historical, and cultural contexts.

ELATE Strand (English Language Arts Teacher Educators, formerly the Conference on English Education) sessions focus on issues, research, and practices pertaining to teacher development, professional development, and teacher education programs, including preservice and induction programs. These sessions highlight the practice of those who prepare literacy educators or support their continued development through courses, workshops, and inquiry.

LGBTQ Strand sessions focus on issues pertaining to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer students, their families, and their teachers. These sessions address representations of sexual and affectional difference, and they offer a broad understanding of diversity, free inquiry and expression, critical pedagogy, and democratic teaching practices. The sessions encourage the creation of safer, more inclusive schools.

Rainbow Strand sessions focus on issues and strategies related to teaching and affirming culturally and linguistically diverse students, especially African Americans, Latinxs, American Indians, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders.

Research Strand sessions have been chosen through a refereed selection process sponsored by the NCTE Standing Committee on Research (SCR). Although reports and discussions of research are distributed throughout the Convention Program, sessions labeled “Research Strand” are those that report on rigorous and original research studies as refereed by the SCR.

National Writing Project Strand sessions focus on research, practice, and innovation at Writing Project sites, including promising designs for professional learning and leadership programs; youth, community, and civic engagement projects; and fresh looks at curriculum and pedagogy in the teaching of writing. These sessions highlight the potential of teacher-leaders, and educators more broadly, to work collectively to improve the teaching of writing for all learners.

WLU Strand sessions focus on whole language theory and practice and are reviewed by the Whole Language Umbrella. These sessions push understandings of critical literacy, inquiry, and collaborative learning, and integrate literacy with other sign systems and knowledge systems situated in social, historical, political, and cultural contexts.

2018 NCTE ANNUAL CONVENTION PROGRAM 39 IN MEMORIAM Celebrating the Lives of Educators

Although the title of this page could read “The Lives of Educators No Longer with Us,” that phrase would be inaccurate. Even after they die, educators who have given so much to their profession, their colleagues, and their students continue, in fact, to live through us. Their commitment to teaching and learning enables so many people to express themselves, learn from others through words and interactions, generate new meanings, and make the world a better place. NCTE celebrates the lives of the educators listed below. We will continue to benefit from all that they accomplished as dedicated educators.

Members’ deaths we’ve learned about since the 2017 NCTE Annual Convention:
