I agree with your reasoning. In Australia there are few teachers in the Education sector who get a PhD. Many may not get a Masters. Yet over 25 years of service they may make a huge impact on the teaching of literacy within and across all sectors of literacy education. I’m sure there are other international educators worthy of being admitted to RHF but didn’t have the opportunity in their countries to gain higher degrees.

I agree.    This should be reworded.   Perhaps something like:  “25 years after a public and significant contribution to the understanding and/or promotion  of reading and reading education. “

Subject: EXT: [Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: Reminder: June nominations for RHF

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.
Consider this scenario:

  *   2 individuals received a degree and credential after 4 years.
  *   Both went on to obtain a master's 5 years later.
  *   Both went on to become stalwart teacher educators and professional developers.
  *   10 years after receiving the master's, person 2 started a doctorate and finished in 5 years later.
  *   Both went on to do work worthy of nomination to the RHF.
  *   Person 1 is eligible for RHF 25 years after receiving the MA
  *   Person 2 is eligible for RHS 40 years after receiving the MA and ONLY BECAUSE they decided to go on for a PhD.

Doesn't seem fair to me.

Consider this scenario

  *   Two individuals receive a PhD in Year 0
  *   Both assume university positions.
  *   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.

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.

Do we really want to privilege time in grade over merit?

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.

Hello Reading Hall of Fame Members,

I hope this email finds you well. The email comes as a reminder to begin thinking about who you would like to nominate for the RHF induction to take place virtually at the 2021 annual meeting of the Literacy Research Association.

The nomination process will begin with a call for nominations in early June, 2021.

As you are thinking about nominees, I want to remind you of the criteria for induction.

1. A nominee for induction into the RHF must have made significant contributions to the field for over 25 years after the terminal degree is granted.
2. The description of the nominee’s biographical statement can be up to 250 words.
3. RHF members can nominate living and deceased individuals and national and non-national individuals for induction.

There will be two ballots. The first one will be sent out the week of June 7, 2021.The second, and final, ballot will be sent out approximately two weeks later.

Please let me know if you have questions. I’m happy to answer them.

I’ll be emailing you all in June with the call for nominations. Please don’t email me now.

Many thanks and take care,

Jan Dole
Secretary
