I am proud and delighted to help represent ATEG, with fellow ATEG members Barbara Stanford, Cornelia Paraskevas, and Deborah Rossen-Knill, at this week's NCTE conference in Nashville. Our panel, "Standards, Assessment, Teacher Preparation, and Curricular Practices", is scheduled for Friday (Session E04) from 4-5:15. We will talk about the Scope and Sequence project as a work in progress and discuss why and how standards, assessment, teacher training, and curriculum need to change in order to be more in harmony with each other. We look at Scope and Sequence as an ATEG project, so please feel part of it and join us on Friday. Give us your perspectives and your feedback. Perhaps more importantly, let's help NCTE understand that there is a pressing need for more thoughtful approaches to grammar, including approaches that embrace knowledge rather than shy away from it. If anyone is else is presenting, please let us know. Please introduce yourself if we haven't already met. I look forward to meeting new people and seeing old friends.
