Professor Richard Beach (Department of Curriculum and Instruction) was recently appointed to serve as a member of the Commission on Media for the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).
Richard's term will begin after the 2008 Annual Convention, scheduled for November 20-25 in San Antonio. The goal of this commission is to help teachers understand the value, possibilities, and constraints of multi-modal literacies and to support advocacy work with schools and educational policymakers.
Congratulations, Richard!
