WHEREAS, A delegation from the Texas Council of Teachers of | ||
English Language Arts is visiting the State Capitol on February 20, | ||
2013, for their third annual Legislative Advocacy Day; and | ||
WHEREAS, Representing nearly 1,500 members statewide, TCTELA | ||
is dedicated to advancing the literacy of all Texas students; to | ||
meet that worthwhile goal, the group is working to create a network | ||
of professionals, provide research-based development | ||
opportunities, and enhance public understanding of the connection | ||
between teacher knowledge and student learning; and | ||
WHEREAS, TCTELA affiliates have access to valuable resources | ||
on service-learning, cross-content curricula, social issues, and | ||
diverse cultures, and they are kept up to date through a quarterly | ||
newsletter, Texas Voices, and an informative online community; the | ||
organization also publishes a peer-reviewed journal, English in | ||
Texas, and advocates for responsible, pedagogically sound | ||
decisions regarding literacy; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since its inception, TCTELA has been a staunch | ||
supporter of the educational community, and those charged with the | ||
important work of teaching and inspiring our children continue to | ||
benefit from its efforts; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby welcome members of the Texas Council of Teachers | ||
of English Language Arts to the State Capitol for their third annual | ||
Legislative Advocacy Day and extend to all those in attendance best | ||
wishes for a productive and memorable event; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. |
