Association of Literacy Educators and Researchers
The theme for the 60th annual conference of the Association of Literacy Educators and Researchers (ALER) was Literacy: The Critical Role of Teacher Knowledge. This Yearbook provides a snapshot of the highlights of the meeting and sampling of some of the proceedings. The focus is on three questions surrounding the conference theme: (1) What do literacy teacher educators and researchers need to know and be able to do? (2) What is the role of professional communities in literacy teacher educator and researcher professional development? and (3) Why is it important for ALER to continue to play an active role in the professional development of its members? All of the articles within this Yearbook represent a sampling of the sessions presented at the conference. After a peer-review process for conference acceptance, the ensuing articles underwent an additional round of peer review for acceptance in the Yearbook. [For the Thirty-Eighth Yearbook, see ED594525.]
