2008 February English Leadership Quarterly, v30.3
Dr. R. Joseph Rodriguez, Director of the Language Acquisition Center at the University of Houston and longtime bilingual teacher of ELL students, sets the stage with the basic premises that we must respect and incorporate ELLs’ home languages and cultures, create a classroom environment that connects those language and cultures, and use multiple strategies to support comprehension.

Technology: Challenges and Concerns
English Leadership Quarterly, Volume 29, Number 4, April 2007. In a perfect world, the computer, with its Internet and World Wide Web, might be the perfect learning tool, but in the real world, many youngsters lack the discipline and/or critical thinking necessary to be in charge of their own learning.

NCLB and the English Language Arts
English Leadership Quarterly, Vol. 30, No. 2, October 2007. NCTE’s latest online survey regarding NCLB reform indicates that 64% of respondents feel the law needed to be “substantially reformed” and another 31% believe “it should not be reauthorized at all.” The articles in this issue showcase a range of voices, experiences, and strategies for working with and confronting NCLB. The 2007 election slate and ballot also appear.

2008 April English Leadership Quarterly, v30.4
English Leadership Quarterly Volume 30, Number 4, April 2008
Issue theme: The English Language Arts and Special Education

English Leadership Quarterly Volume 31, Number 1, August 2008
What would happen if teachers—fed up with NCLB and the delimiting of teacher professionalism to test prep—could vote for “new” school leaders? What would they look like? What would they promise? How would we assess their performance? Teachers want to be led, not managed, and they want to be—and should be—a voice in school change. The authors included in this issue might help us point the way to a “new” era of school leadership.

English Leadership Quarterly
Susan L. Groenke and Lisa Scherff introduce their first issue with thanks to their predecessor Bonita Wilcox, whose last themed call on Literacy Learning in Alternative Schools is an important and timely choice. The issue highlights three very different perspectives on alternative learning programs. The first, from assistant principal John Poole, considers what alternative schools can provide in the way of literacy learning opportunities that regular schools cannot.

Focusing on Literacy Learning: But Where's the Content?
English Leadership Quarterly, Volume 28, Number 3, February 2006. Emphasizing content knowledge with little consideration for reading, writing, and thinking skills may go down in history as one of the greatest educational errors of all time, second only to thinking that English teachers are the only ones responsible for teaching literacy skills.

Knowledge Management for Innovators in English Education
ELQ, Volume 28, Number 4, April 2006. Knowledge management as a discipline involves gathering, storing, sharing, and using information for the benefit of the organization, or in this case, a community of practice. Those of us lucky enough to enjoy such a community, where dynamic professional conversation and the sharing of “sacred secrets” about our pedagogy support and challenge us, are encouraged and enriched by the sharing and so, it follows, are our students.

Open Forum: "No Need for a Prefix on Published"
English Leadership Quarterly, Volume 29, Number 1, August 2006. Editor Bonita Wilcox begins by identifying characteristics of published writers and encouraging those who hesitate to submit for publication, offering ELQ as a likely venue for that first step.

Changes and Expectations in English Education
English Leadership Quarterly, Volume 28, Number 2, October 2006. Students are different than they used to be. Or, at the very least, they learn differently. But how has our teaching changed to match new needs, new resources, and new learning styles?
