At present, we know that the gallery will be up through the end of June 2010 and we ask that submissions come in until June 1. We don't have 2011 plans as yet, but we should know more in the spring.
Hi John, writers own copyright on the pieces they submit but by posting they give NCTE rights to display the piece in the Gallery and to use it along with their demographic information in research done on the gallery. Millie
Hi David, NCTE included the questions for research purposes. Since research is a prime goal for the gallery, we found them necessary even though they do slow down the submission process a bit. Millie

We at NJCTE are planning a Fall Conference prior to the National Conference on Writing. Since the Conference is scheduled on a Saturday and I teach my composition class at Union County College that day, I'm hoping to offer a writing workshop that will feature my class and me via an e-link.
Hey Millie,
Guess it has taken me a long time to get on this wagon! Let me know what I need to do for Charleston. I may try to give you a call later today (Thursday).

So far there has been no response from NCTE in any form since the postings on the website of the Washington Post. The bottom line remains:
NCTE has approved of a plan that calls for
(1) Explicit, systematic teaching of literacy as the only path.

Approximately 8 million students in grades 4-12 are reading below grade level. Limited literacy skills cause 3,000 students to drop out of high school every day.
