	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, A delegation from the Texas Council of Teachers of
	English Language Arts is visiting the State Capitol on
	March 24, 2011, for their first 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 82nd Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize the Texas Council of Teachers of
	English Language Arts on the occasion of its Legislative Advocacy
	Day and extend to all those in attendance best wishes for a
	productive and memorable visit to the State Capitol; 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.

	Howard of Travis
