Likewise, we are in- debted to our reviewers, who have graciously shared their time and profes- sional judgments to secure the rigor of this publication. This yearbook was also produced with the help of three editorial assistants who meticulously tracked and nudged the progress of the manuscripts through the adjudica- tion journey, and provided the hands and minds to take care of the details that resulted in a high quality publication. Our thanks to editorial assistants Margie Garcia, Karen Larmon Whalen, and Louise Cochran for their commit- ment and dedication to this large task, and for their collaboration and pro- fessionalism in solving problems as dilemmas and issues arose. For the second year, we were honored to be able to use the design of Carlyn Ross Schlechter for the cover of the CRA Yearbook. The three fluid lines, as well as the icons, on our cover seem to readily depict not only the moving nature of our work but also represent the three rivers in Pittsburgh and the three-pronged emphasis of this yearbook: research, praxis, and ad- vocacy. We indeed thank her for the beautiful and provocative image that beckons the reader to check out what’s inside! In addition, two universities provide support for this Yearbook in vari- ous ways. At Texas A&M University-Commerce we wish to thank Dr. Keith McFarland, the tenth President of our university who has announced his retirement and whose support of this publication and of teacher education over these years has been vital. We also want to thank Dr. Mary Hendrix, Interim Provost and Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs for her many efforts in advancing the mission of promoting literacy and education. This yearbook had the support of two Deans of the A&M-Commerce Col- lege of Education and Human Services: Dr. James B. Vornberg, Interim Dean of the COEHS in the spring and fall of 2007; and Dr. Brent Mangus, Dean of the COEHS beginning in January 2008. Both of these leaders have recog- nized the value of the knowledge and scholarship disseminated through this endeavor and earmarked needed resources, such an office, computer, etc. to make this kind of publication possible. Special thanks also go to Vivian Freeman of the Printing Facility at A&M-Commerce who painstakingly over- sees all aspects of printing and the yearbooks. And, we are ever thankful for the many instances of assistance and help from the Department of Curricu- lum and Instruction’s Administrative Assistants, Maureen Preston, Priscilla Nichols, and Nicole Wilkins. To all of these individuals at A&M-Commerce we are ever grateful. x
