[Reading-hall-of-fame] David Pearson Scholarly Influence Award

[Taffy Raphael]

Hi All Reading Hall of Fame Members,

I'm sending the message below that went out recently to LRA members.  Pardon any duplication.

It's time to give serious thought to whom you'd like to nominate for this year's David Pearson Scholarly Influence Award!  With many members deserving of recognition, you won't want to miss this opportunity.  As a reminder, this annual award honors, in P. David Pearson’s name, the author(s) of an article/chapter/book written at least 5 years prior to the nomination, that has demonstrably and positively influenced/impacted literacy practices and/or policies within district, school and/or classroom settings.

2013 was the inaugural year of the Pearson Scholarly Influence Award, with our first awardee, Dr. Peter Johnston of S.U.N.Y. at Albany, receiving the award at our annual meeting in Dallas.  

We encourage you to think about influential materials that have affected your professional work and submit nominations by 9/5/14 for consideration in 2014.  Nominators should demonstrate how the findings or implications of the article/chapter/book have been used directly by educators to craft influential policies and/or initiate and implement innovative classroom practices.

The submission packet should include a letter of nomination outlining the case with supporting evidence (along with the key piece of writing, author CV’s and documentation of the influence of the piece on instruction and/or policy).

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!  
Please submit to me via email (taffy at uic.edu).
