Yetta M. Goodman is Regents Professor Emerita at the University of Arizona College of Education in the Department of Language, Reading and Culture. She consults with education departments and speaks at conferences regarding issues of language, teaching and learning. Her many publications in support of students and teachers focus on early literacy, miscue analysis and reading and writing processes. She has popularized the term kidwatching encouraging teachers to be professional observers of the language and learning of their students. She is a past president of NCTE, CELT, and has served on the IRA Board of Directors. She is a past president and member of the Reading Hall of Fame. Her whole language philosophy and extensive writing is focused on classrooms, students and teachers. Dr. Goodman will deliver a keynote speech titled Revaluing Readers, Teachers and Reading during the conference on September 28th. She will also lead a pre-conference workshop on Friday, September 27th titled What are your major questions about how the learner's language influences learning to read and write in the classroom? What's new?
