/Foreword by Deborah Brandt
Afterword by Edmund J. Farrell/

/Reading the Past, Writing the Future/ celebrates NCTE's centennial by 
emphasizing the role the organization has played in brokering and 
advancing the many traditions and countertraditions engaging literacy 
educators since the organization was chartered in 1911.

Leila Christenbury's introductory essay discusses trends in American 
literacy education. Then, prominent scholars focus on activities and 
subject matters central to teaching English language arts and college 
English:

    * teaching reading, writing, language, and literature;
    * using new media effectively;
    * working for social justice in the classroom, school, and community;
    * devising responsible means to assess the work of students and
      teachers;
    * initiating the next generation into the profession;
    * cultivating an ethos for action among those who support as well as
      critique this work;
    * looking toward the work that remains to be done in the century ahead.

Finally, the afterword offers a telescopic view of the last 100 years 
and describes several critical problems currently facing literacy educators.

Appendixes provide details of NCTE's history, including a timeline and 
listings of NCTE presidents, executive directors, section chairs, 
journal editors, commissions and assemblies, and convention sites and 
themes.

This rich and thoughtful history of our discipline and organization is 
for every teacher of the English language arts and English studies who 
wonders where we've been, how we got where we are today, and where we 
all might be traveling as literacy educators in the 21st century.
