Abstrakt: At the CRA annual conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Teacher Education Division focused on the significant legislative issues that drive policy initiatives in reading education. Two key speakers explored the topic in depth. Practical suggestions were shared on ways for educators to become involved and influence policy. Then division members joined one of three focus groups, small sessions which addressed specific aspects of teacher education. Thus, this meeting continued the emphasis of informing the membership of recent events in the political arena and the importance of taking a proactive stance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
