The second volume of 2006 is called "With More Deliberate Speed: Achieving Equity and Excellence in Education--Realizing the Full potential of Brown v. Board of Education." This volume will feature discussions of 6-7 issues of literacy and equity from senior scholars with commentaries by junior scholars (edited by Arnetha Ball of Stanford University). Contributors include Edmund Gordon, Gloria Ladson-Billings, James Anderson, and Guadalupe Valdes.

Work is underway on the 2007 volumes. Part I will be edited by Pamela Moss (University of Michigan) and has a working title of "Evidence and Decision Making." It will examine how evidence is being/might be used at different levels of the educational system to support learning, decision making, cooperation across boundaries, and practice that is accountable to others. Authors include David Gamson, Penn State University; James Spillane and David B. Miele, Northwestern; Frederick Erickson, UCLA; Judith Warren Little, Berkeley; Daniel T. Hickey and Kate Anderson, Indiana University; John Diamond, Harvard; William Firestone, Rutgers; Ray Gonzalez, Paterson Public Schools; Michael Knapp, Michael Copland, and Juli Anna Swinnerton, University of Washington; Gina Schuyler Ikemoto & Julie A. Marsh, RAND; Drew Gitomer, ETS; Richard Duschl, Rutgers; Lauren Resnick, Mary Besterfield-Sacre and Matthew Mehalik, University of Pittsburgh; Chris Thorn, Adam Gamoran, and Robert Meyer, University of Wisconsin; Peggy Carr, U.S. DOE; Denis Phillips, Stanford; and James Gee, University of Wisconsin.
106:2 will be edited by Louanne Smolin and Kimberly Lawless (University of Illinois, Chicago) and Nicholas Burbules (University of Illinois, Urbana). It's tentatively titled "Information and Communication Technologies: Considerations of Current Practice for Teachers and Teacher Educators." More details will be forthcoming.
We are continuing to plan for a two-volume yearbook on "Why Do We Educate" for 2008, with Gary Fenstermacher as primary editor. These volumes would explore the foundational reasons behind American society's engagement in the education of its young, in an effort to expand and deepen the public discourse on the topic of education (both formal and "informal" schooling).
The first volume is planned for essays written by prominent persons selected from many different fields, including the fine and performing arts, the professions, business and commerce, government, and philanthropic organizations, to reflect the thinking of those who have an articulate vision of how to advance the interests of children and youth in democratic society. The second volume will advance the moral, intellectual and democratic grounds for education in a democracy. Each volume will be aimed at informing both policy and practice.
Please suggest ideas; the Board is pleased to work with members who are interested in making a proposal or even simply submitting an idea. See the Proposal Guidelines for further information on submission to the Board of Directors for discussion at its annual spring or fall meeting.
The next meeting of the Board of Directors will take place September 29-30, 2006 in Chicago, and then in the spring and fall of 2007.
