I am sure that many female scholars, young and old, agree that our years of having to "prove" we were worthy now puts us at the higher age range among those of Reading Hall of Fame. At the time, however, none of us thought about that or any honors. We were
all so focused on doing well in our teaching, publishing, and nourishing younger scholars. Coming into the reading hall of fame never entered the minds of most of us until we were actually there and looked around, realizing that some issues regarding women
and their roles in the profession could change!</div>

<div style="color:black; font:10pt Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">I agree with David. 25 years is simply too long to wait to see whether a scholar has had an impact on the field. The 25 year span also privileges male candidates because we are still waiting for
the first pregnant male candidate. My experiences suggest that differences in gender is the reason my male doctoral students had, like me, 5 years of teaching prior to entering the doctoral program and the female doctoral students had 10-15+ years of teaching
experience. <br>

<div dir="ltr">ONCE AGAIN I raise my concern about the 25 years out from when the terminal degree is granted. I love the idea that a person should have been involved for a while in the field. But 25 years after terminal degree creates some unintended forms
of inequity.
<div>Consider this scenario: </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>2 individuals received a degree and credential after 4 years. </li><li>Both went on to obtain a master's 5 years later. </li><li>Both went on to become stalwart teacher educators and professional developers. </li><li>10 years after receiving the master's, person 2 started a doctorate and finished in 5 years later. </li><li>Both went on to do work worthy of nomination to the RHF. </li><li>Person 1 is eligible for RHF 25 years after receiving the MA<br clear="none">
</li><li>Person 2 is eligible for RHS 40 years after receiving the MA and ONLY BECAUSE they decided to go on for a PhD. </li></ul>
<div>Doesn't seem fair to me.</div>
</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>Consider this scenario</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Two individuals receive a PhD in Year 0</li><li>Both assume university positions.</li><li>Person 1 makes an incredible mark on the field through publication, organizational leadership, and professional development in 10 years; person 2, also extremely competent, does the same, but it takes them 25 years to reach the same level of contribution
to the field. In our current situation, both are admitted to the RHF in year 25 out from the PhD. </li></ul>
<div>Is that fair? Why shouldn't person 1 have been admitted in year 15 or even 10? If the standard is contribution and influence, why should "time in grade" matter at all. By the way, it does NOT for competitions like AERA fellows or nomination to the National
Academy of Education. </div>
</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>Do we really want to privilege time in grade over merit?</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>Just want us to go on record as supporting whatever standard we think matters most. And I am open to a combination standard: X level of accomplishment and Y level of time in grade.</div>
