WELCOME FROM THE MAYOR

Office of Mayor Charlie Hales City of Portland August 26th, 2015 Welcome! It is my pleasure to welcome you to the City of Portland for the 48th annual College Reading and Learning Conference (CRLA) to be held at the DoubleTree Hotel, November 5-8, 2015. It pleasures me that “The Power of Innovation” is the theme for this conference. Innovative thinking is thinking for the future. I hope that, as our guests, in addition to exploring new ways to be successful as a community, will also take some time to explore the Portland metropolitan region. As Portlanders, we are extremely proud of what our city has to offer both residents and visitors. It is a place of outstanding natural beauty, fascinating and unique culture, a national destination for northwest-inspired culinary experiences and strong commercial activities accessible by our nationally renowned transportation system. No matter what activities you choose to pursue during your stay, you’ll find the people of Portland are ready to help make your visit as enjoyable as possible. Best wishes for a successful conference and a wonderful visit to our fine city! Sincerely,

Charlie Hales Mayor

WELCOME TO PORTLAND FROM THE CRLA CONFERENCE TEAM

Welcome to Portland from the CRLA Conference Team

On behalf of the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) we are pleased to welcome you to the 48th Annual CRLA Conference in Portland, Oregon. We are thrilled to be back in Portland where we can explore all the city and surrounding area has to offer. The conference theme, Pinnacles of Learning: The Power of Innovation, is timely. The next three days afford you the opportunity to explore ways in which innovation plays a role in our work to support student success.

Dorothy Briggs

The conference is bookended with outstanding speakers taking us to the pinnacles of learning:

• Kyle Bowen is a leader in the field of learning technology and has his finger on the pulse of “what’s next.” Take advantage of the opportunity to learn about emerging technology during his keynote titled: New Ideas for New Learning Experiences.



• Linda Nilson has spent her professional career devoted to the development of self-regulated learning. The endnote is titled Self-Regulated Learning: Way Beyond Study Skills. The talk will inform us as to what self-regulated learning is, how it goes beyond metacognition, how students benefit from practicing it, and how to induce them to do it.

CRLA’s Vision, CRLA strives to be the professional development resource of choice for college professionals dedicated to enhancing student academic success, along with the mission, to provide college reading and learning professionals with an open forum to discover and exchange the leading tools and techniques to enhance student academic success has given us the framework from which to plan this conference. We trust that you will find innovative ways to enhance student academic success. We trust that you will leave the conference having discovered tools and techniques to put to use on Monday morning. It has been fun creating this conference experience. Enjoy all that the conference and Portland have to offer! Sincerely, Dorothy Briggs, 2015 CRLA Conference Chair and CRLA President-Elect Cindy Lemek, CRLA Executive Director Marie Maguire-Cook, 2015 On-Site Chair

WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Colleagues, A warm welcome to the 48th Annual CRLA Conference in Portland, Oregon. The majestic mountains of Oregon remind us to reach up to achieve at the highest possible levels. It will take innovation and new perspectives to reach the goal of creating effective and expedient pathways to student success.

Encounters with new or unfamiliar experiences can create temporary discomfort or confusion. Imagine how it feels to move in rhythmic flow as changes occur rather than being blocked as the climb to Rosie Woodruff achievement becomes more difficult. Our task becomes being sensitive to obstacles that could create academic problems and responding with appropriate assistance and programming. It is our hope that our keynote speakers Kyle Bowen and Linda Nilson will add to your knowledge base and facilitate a more creative and innovative approach in assisting students with moving more smoothly through their academic journey. You will also be able to meet Dr. Nilson at our One Book, One Conference session with her book on creating self-regulated learners.

The opportunity to network with colleagues and share your experiences is a valuable component of a successful conference. Take the time to participate in all the activities that have been planned to provide your conference with a balanced menu of offerings. We look forward to greeting you at the Welcome Reception and the Opening session. If this is your first conference, let us also welcome you at the First Timers Social Hour on Thursday evening. Be sure to attend the Special Interest Groups (SIG) and State/Regional/Chapter (SRC) meeting of your choice. Don’t miss the Exhibitor’s Reception and Authors’ Meet and Greet. This year you will have an opportunity to meet authors of ebooks as well as authors who have books to sign. Our Dinner on the Town event is a nice way to have a good meal and connect with existing friends and create new friendships. End your day at the Hospitality Room Thursday through Saturday, 8:30-10:30 pm. Make it a point to say hello to a stranger sitting next to you. Seriously consider attending the CRLA Business Meeting. By the time we bid you safe travels at the Closing Brunch, we hope you will be fully satisfied and eager to return with creative new ways to approach and climb learning pinnacles.

We are both happy and sad that we have reached capacity at this year’s conference. We hope not too many of our colleagues had to be turned away. So be sure to make early plans to attend our 2016 conference in Louisville, Kentucky, and race to register!

Aloha, Rosie Woodruff CRLA President

TOURS Colleges Tour: Mt. Hood Community College and Portland State University Thursday, November 5 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm Cost=$18 Ticket required. Request information about available spots at the registration desk. Itinerary: 12:45 pm Meet in Doubletree lobby 1:00 pm B us departs from Doubletree Hotel to Mt. Hood Community College and Portland State University 5:00 pm Bus returns to Doubletree Hotel

Mt. Hood Community College Mt. Hood’s tour includes a visit to the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) Program and Learning Success Center, which comprise one Student Services department and are housed in the same location for easy access for students.

AVID at MHCC AVID is a unique program that helps new college students get started on the right track and builds connections between staff, faculty, and other students through Learning Communities. The primary function of the AVID Learning Communities and AVID Center is to support new college students by shrinking down the size of the college. It serves as a home base for students who know that the Center is a safe and welcoming place to find help and answers. The Center provides academic and institutional support. Not only do staff help students with academics, they help students absorb college culture – focusing on many of the soft skills that students are expected to have, but are too rarely taught. While the focus of the AVID Program is on new students and largely developmental education student populations, the center is open to all. The Learning Success Center (LSC) has been providing tutoring services and support to MHCC students for nearly thirty years and offers drop-in tutoring in a variety of subjects including mathematics, science, modern languages, engineering, accounting, and visual and performing arts. We also offer programming for English Language Learners and computer skills support in our own computer lab. In addition to drop-in tutoring, students may also make an hour long appointment to work on study skills and learning strategies with a Learning Specialist, or visit the AVID Center for a 15-20 minute appointment with a Writing Tutor. Lastly, the LSC offers eTutoring Support for students that want to access a tutor while off campus and around the clock. Students coming to the LSC are sure to find answers to their content or MHCC questions, and if not, we’ll take them to who can. More info: www.mhcc.edu/LSC

TOURS (Cont’d) Portland State University The Learning Center (LC) at Portland State University is a vibrant hub of student support, located within the Office of Academic Affairs. Last year, peer tutors helped freshmen through graduate students in nearly 11,000 individual drop-in sessions. In addition, the LC also offers fully online synchronous and asychronous tutoring support, provided through eTutoring.org. Though eTutoring offers a consortium model, PSU opted to host its own site using the platform but employing the same PSU students that work in the face-to-face model. The LC also offers academic support through a flexible academic coaching program and curricular offerings. Academic coaching provides the opportunity for students to work one-to-one with coaches in creating measurable action plans to meet their personal, academic, and career goals. The PSU academic coaching model uses peers who are current graduate students in a master’s program for students interested in careers in academic or student affairs. Finally, the LC’s curricular offerings include the Roads to Success (R2S) program for freshmen and College Success, which is open to all students. Roads is an early start (bridge-style) program for new freshmen who move-in to the residence halls early and spend two weeks learning about PSU. First offered in 2009, Roads provides sixty students the opportunity to engage in a living-learning community using the tenets of the On Course curriculum. Our College Success course is a comprehensive success course designed to enhance community, connection and retention. College Success is offered every term, while Roads is offered prior to fall term only. Please join us on-campus to see our space in the Millar Library, and learn more about all of the programs that make the Learning Center a fantastic place to call your home away from home.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Kyle Bowen – Keynote: New Ideas for New Learning Experiences Today’s students have an ever expanding set of options for how they choose to pursue learning. In a “choose your own adventure” style, students self-select the technologies and experiences that will help them get the most from their education. New technologies range from mobile devices that engage people sharing in the same experiences to media development tools that enable creativity in ways that border on science fiction. All of these ideas can be recognized by credentials, like digital badges, that offer a new common currency for learning. As our students naturally apply new ideas to collaborate and learn, it’s important to explore emerging technologies that enhance learning in all of its forms and drive us to ask: what’s next? Kyle Bowen is Director of Education Technology Services at Penn State University, where he leads a group focused on creating and cultivating innovative uses of technology for teaching and learning. Formerly the Director of Informatics at Purdue University, he led Purdue’s Studio Projects Initiative – overseeing the development of a comprehensive suite of learning tools that seek to address academic challenges experienced by faculty and students, inside and outside the classroom. A relentless pursuer of technologies that hack the classroom, Mr. Bowen is also a regular speaker on educational technology – publishing presentation art that editorializes the latest educational technology trends at classhack.com.

Linda Nilson – Endnote: Self-Regulated Learning: Way Beyond Study Skills Why is it that most students have difficulty retaining what they read and hear, find it challenging to complete basic tasks, and often don’t seem to learn from their mistakes? Because they aren’t self-regulated learners. That is, they don’t routinely plan, monitor, evaluate, and take control of their learning. Put another way, they don’t know how to learn. In this endnote, you will hear about research that shows how incorporating some of the many proven self-regulated learning activities and assignments into your courses and tutoring sessions can improve your students’ products, problem-solving skills, and overall academic performance. These modest additions can also enhance student motivation and reduce the overconfidence that students often feel about their skills and content mastery. Find out what self-regulated learning is, how it goes beyond metacognition, how students benefit from practicing it, and how to induce them to do it. By the end, you will be able to implement some selfregulated learning assignments and activities that you can adapt and integrate into your own teaching or tutoring context. You will experience a few of these yourself! Linda B. Nilson is founding director of the Office of Teaching Effectiveness and Innovation (OTEI) at Clemson University and author of Teaching at Its Best: A Research-Based Resource for College Instructors, now in its third edition (Jossey-Bass, 2010; fourth edition under contract), The Graphic Syllabus and the Outcomes Map: Communicating Your Course (Jossey-Bass, 2007), Creating Self-Regulated Learners: Strategies to Strengthen Students’ Self-Awareness and Learning Skills (Stylus, 2013), and Specifications Grading: Restoring Rigor, Motivating Students, and Saving Faculty Time (Stylus, 2015). She also co-edited Enhancing Learning with Laptops in the Classroom (Jossey-Bass, 2005) and Volumes 25 through 28 of To Improve the Academy: Resources for Faculty, Instructional, and Organizational Development (Anker, 2007, 2008; Jossey-Bass, 2009, 2010).

LUNCH WITH A MENTOR

Ticketed Event

MULTNOMAH/HOLLADAY When you arrive at the session room, please locate the table number that corresponds to the roundtable number below.

 1 – PLACEMENT AND CURRICULUM DESIGN FOR DEVELOPMENTAL STUDENTS: A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO OLD TRADITIONS TABLE AND INNOVATIONS Mentor: Victoria Appatova Course redesign, reading and writing integration, disciplinary literacy, acceleration through the developmental sequence – our field is bursting with new (and revived) concepts that are supposed to dramatically enhance the quality of developmental education and boost retention and graduation rates. However, none of these great innovations, implemented in isolation, can serve as “a magic wand”. It is a systematic approach to placement and curriculum choices (supported by adequate student services and assessment procedures) that may establish the next “pocket of excellence”. We will have a thoughtful conversation about how to create an effective micro-system that would include both well-established and newly developed practices in placement and curriculum. TABLE 2 – CURRENT ISSUES IN ASSESSMENT FOR COLLEGE READING AND LEARNING

Mentor: Sonya L. Armstrong Much recent educational scholarship has focused on concerns about assessment across educational levels and disciplines. Debates over the growing use of standardized commercial tests, questions about the best measurements of college-readiness, and concerns about current course placement instruments all have direct implications for college reading and learning assessment decisions. However, despite the prevalence of these conversations in the professional literature, in the field of college reading and learning, assessment too often remains a mysterious, annoying, or even dreaded task rather than an integrated part of our work. During our lunch conversation, we will explore current issues related to assessment: the good, the bad, and the ugly! TABLE 3 – RESEARCH IN LEARNING ASSISTANCE: 2014-2015

Mentor: Hunter R. Boylan As policy makers focus more attention on student persistence and graduation, a number of old learning assistance techniques have been resurrected and a number of new ones have been developed. This session describes how reformers outside the field have “discovered” learning assistance models and techniques. It also addresses what current research has to say on a variety of topics in the field of learning assistance such as tutoring, mentoring, embedded support services, and the integration of support services and remedial courses. TABLE 4 – STRATEGIES FOR USING MULTIPLE MEASURES PLACEMENT

Mentor: Joanne Baird Giordano This session will present strategies for developing a multiple measures process for placing students into composition, reading, and learning support courses at institutions that offer developmental courses and/or accelerated writing programs. Attendees will receive a set of researchbased resources that present a variety of approaches to developing a placement process that supplements or replaces standardized test scores with a more thorough assessment of each student’s educational background and academic preparation. Participants will also discuss ways to implement or improve a multiple measures placement process at their own institutions. TABLE 5 – APPS FOR READING AND WRITING

Mentor: David Caverly Is there an APP for that? There might be. This discussion will focus on useful device apps in the reading and writing classrooms. Bring your smart phone and find out what you might use with your students.

SATURDAY’S SCHEDULE, NOVEMBER 7 (Con’t) TABLE 6 – LEARNING OUTCOMES: WHO? WHAT? WHEN? WHY? HOW?

Mentor: Carolyn Hopper When I get in my car, before I leave I usually know where I am going and what I expect to do while I am there. If I am going somewhere I have never been before, I want a map or even better, detailed directions. I find that if I don’t have a list of what I need to do or get while I am out, I usually forget something. Yet I find some student success courses taught as if everyone involved gets in just for the ride. Clearly defined learning outcomes give direction and form a framework for learning by providing instructors and students with standards and expectations for every lesson. In addition, they are necessary when, for things like funding, accreditation, or institutional effectiveness plans we must provide evidence of student learning and the effectiveness of a course or program. Learning outcomes should be the basis for selecting content, classroom activities, and assessment measures such as chapter or unit tests and final projects or exams. However, we often find they may be tacked on as an afterthought. Come join me in a conversation about the Who? What? When? Why? and How? involving Learning Outcomes. TABLE 7 – NEW DEFINITIONS OF COLLEGE READINESS: THE POTENTIAL FOR DISCIPLINARY LITERACY APPROACHES IN DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION

Mentor: Jodi Patrick Holschuh We will discuss current definitions of college readiness, as operationalized in many state standards, in terms of potential benefits for developmental education. Specifically, we will concentrate on ELA standards that call for a disciplinary literacy approach to reading and writing. We will share ways to use disciplinary literacy in developmental education as a way to prepare students for college success. TABLE 8 – APPS FOR ACADEMIC SUCCESS

Mentor: Lucy MacDonald What are the Apps for tutoring, math, study skills, writing? Find out what others are using and who is listing apps on their web site. Handouts will model how to identify and annotate apps in list format. Come prepared to share your favorite apps or learn of favorites from others. TABLE 9 – DEVELOPING A SCHOLAR-PRACTITIONER IDENTITY: REFLECTIONS ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Mentor: Heather Porter Grounding our work in theoretical foundations is important in ensuring that students’ academic and personal development is always at the forefront of our decisions. As part of that process, it is important for us, as academic support professionals, to reflect upon the various scholarships that inform our practices. Please join me in a reflective dialogue about the importance of this connection, and share your personal journey in developing your own identity as a scholar-practitioner within higher education academic support! TABLE 10 – CRLA PROGRAM CERTIFICATIONS: NEW ONLINE APPLICATION PROCESS

Mentor: Roberta Schotka Roberta will help you understand the new online certification application. It will apply to both ITTPC and IMPTC. Roberta will talk about the newly added questions, the planned change in how we ask programs to verify their tutors’ contact hours as well as answer any questions that arise.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF CRLA CRLA’s founders—reading specialists in colleges of the western United States—were focused on the needs of college reading specialists, reading centers, and reading programs. These programs, which had been operating in a few colleges and universities for many years, were now developing in many more institutions as part of the “new” services for students in a new era of higher education. To meet the need for professional standards and professional development when colleges and universities were struggling with equal access, open doors, and academia’s higher responsibilities, our founders created the Western College Reading Association. Western College Reading Association (WCRA): 1966-1983 Gene Kerstiens describes the birth: “At one-thirty A.M., the Saturday before Thanksgiving, 1966, in room 202 of the then Holiday Inn, San Bernardino, California, about 20 of those remaining at a five-and-one-half-hour meeting signed the blood oath, a document that has not survived. At the end of this assembly, the first president was appointed by himself (not elected) with the tacit approval of the group. It may not have been an auspicious inception, but it was colorful and collegially contentious.” Gil Williams hosted the meeting and obtained sponsorship from Carroll Edwards, regional representative of Science Research Associates. In response to a notice placed in the hotel lobby, 35 conference participants had met to discuss starting a college-oriented reading association. Among the attendees were Royce Adams (Santa Barbara City College), Jon Hagstrom (Columbia Junior College), Robert Griffin (College of the Desert), Gene Kerstiens (El Camino College), and Frank Christ (Loyola University of Los Angeles). The active and dedicated group accomplished much in its first three years. At an early organizational meeting at the College of the Desert in March 1967, the constitution was adopted, officers were elected (President Robert Griffin, President-Elect Frank Christ, Secretary Loretta Newman of Los Angeles Harbor College, and Treasurer Gil Williams of San Bernardino Valley College), and annual dues were set at $5.00. At an Executive Board meeting in June, a quarterly newsletter was born; edited by Frank Christ, it began publication in September 1967. That October, an organizational meeting was held at the Kona Kai Hotel in San Diego to discuss an annual conference. Then in 1968, WCRA established a placement clearinghouse that listed positions for reading teachers. Already in 1968, WCRA numbered 144 members representing twelve western states and Canada with over one half of the membership from California. WCRA also had fourteen chapters representing twelve states. In 1969, the treasurer was bonded, associate memberships were offered to administrators and librarians, and state directors were appointed by the president. Finally, a directory project was initiated to identify college reading teachers, their backgrounds, and their job descriptions to determine a potential standard for the field. The first annual conference, themed “Creating Opportunities for Skillful Reading,” was held in April 1968 at the Ramada Inn in Phoenix, Arizona, hosted by Irwin Joffee, the director of the Reading Clinic at Phoenix City College. Dr. Robert Shafer, an Arizona State University reading professor, gave the keynote address: “The Practical Critic, the Rhetorician, and a Developing Model of Reading Comprehension.” At this first conference, the tradition of an evening hospitality suite for all members to meet with association officers and fellow members began as the “Informal Discussion of Vital Issues” (later known as the Friday Night Literary Society). Exhibiting wares were Reader’s Digest Services; Science Research Associates; Holt, Reinhart, and Winston; Addison-Wesley; and Educational Developmental Laboratories, a division of McGraw-Hill. The City College of San Francisco hosted the second annual conference at the Airport Hilton in March 1969. Incoming president Frank Christ gave the keynote, “Organization, Development and Implementation of College Reading/Study Skills Programs: Assumptions and Conclusions.” Conference presenters included Drs. Martha Maxwell (University of California at Berkeley) and Jordan Utsey (State University of New York). The third annual conference was held in March 1970 at the Benson Hotel in Portland, Oregon, hosted by Dr. Ned Marksheffel of Oregon State University. The keynote, “Should All Reading Teachers be Certified?” was delivered by president Irwin Joffee. The 1970’s. WCRA grew fast in the 1970’s, a period of enormous change in higher education. Affirmative action, equal rights, and the “new student” rallied professionals in our field and stimulated rapid growth of learning centers, reading programs, and developmental studies across North America in response to new imperatives. The young WCRA organization incorporated in 1972 and filed its constitution and bylaws with the Corporation Commission of New Mexico. In 1975 the Executive Board established WCRA’s unofficial motto: “the Blue Chip organization for college reading professionals.” Student memberships were initiated at $2.50, half the fee of regular membership. The president-elect was made conference program chair, and on-site chairs handled local arrangements. Conference proceedings were edited by Frank Christ, with the first issue featuring papers and addresses from the first three conferences. The position of archivist was created in 1976, and a scholarship fund of $1,000 was set up in 1977 to award a yearly scholarship to graduate students pursuing degrees relevant to the interests of WCRA members. In 1979 the Board instituted an annual service award, too. In 1977 a formal vote determined that all WCRA conferences would be held in the western region of the United States, but eventually the W in the name was expanded to mean the Western Hemisphere, and Canadians were formally invited into the organization. WCRA voted in 1978 to hold conferences only in states that had ratified the ERA; although that decision eventually became moot, some tentative conference site proposals were thwarted for a few years. Nevertheless, conferences were stimulating and collegial.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF CRLA (Con’t) CRLA began formal liaisons with other professional organizations in 1977, and dues took a big leap to $15 in 1978. By 1983, WCRA had published 15 issues of conference Proceedings. Western College Reading and Learning Association (WCRLA): 1983-1989 In 1983, after years of deliberation and discussion, the membership voted to expand its name to Western College Reading and Learning Association to welcome the many professionals in writing, learning assistance, tutorial programs, mathematics, developmental studies, counseling, and other fields who were finding WCRA conferences and publications beneficial to their professional experience. WCRLA expanded member services with bigger and more diverse conferences, Special Interest Groups, and elections by mail ballot. In 1983, WCRLA replaced conference Proceedings with the double-blind-juried Journal of College Reading and Learning, edited by Delryn Fleming (Brookhaven College, Texas). To provide continuity, the offices of treasurer and secretary became two-year positions, elected in alternate years. A formal liaison relationship was established with the young sister organization of NADE. To better define the training needed by peer tutors, the now-recognized International Tutor Program Certification (ITPC), was created, followed later by International Mentor Program Certification (IMPC). New WCRLA conference features included dinner-on-the-town night, newcomers’ welcome sessions, and a designated computer room. The first WCRLA conference was held at the Portland (Oregon) Marriott and keynoted by A. Garr Cranney of Brigham Young University. The next five WCRLA conferences (1984-1988) met in San Jose, Denver, Los Angeles, Albuquerque, and Sacramento, continuing the tradition of meeting every other year in California, alternating northern and southern locations. College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA): 1989 to the present The organization’s name was changed in 1989 to CRLA. Although there was sentimental angst about dropping “Western” from the name, membership across the United States and Canada and overseas is acknowledged in the current name: College Reading and Learning Association. The 1990’s. The organization truly matured in the ’90’s, creating an election process that allows new officers adequate time to prepare for new duties; new Board positions of Membership Coordinator and Executive Assistant; contracts with commercial mailing services; more scholarships and awards; a strategic plan; an International Symposium on Teaching and Learning; and the Professional Association Liaison Committee. Annual conferences moved from spring to fall to avoid conflict with spring holy days and NARDSPE/NADE’s spring conference. Martha Maxwell served as CRLA’s first director on the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education, and CRLA helped develop CAS standards for learning assistance programs. In 1996, CRLA was a founding member of the American Council of Developmental Education Associations (ACDEA) to improve communication and facilitate action among associations. Also in the 1990’s, a Communications Task Force identified new means for CRLA officers to communicate with the general membership; a Past Officers’ Council was created to advise the Board; and dues rose from $25 to $40. The 2000’s. Annual dues rose to $50 in 2003 to match costs. Despite campus funding cuts and travel restrictions, both membership and attendance at CRLA conferences have increased. The Call to Conference now arrives in members’ electronic mailboxes. The Association continues to meet professional development needs of its members by means of conferences, the Journal of College Reading and Learning, the now-electronic newsletter, e-bulletins, and expanding website. The Board and membership adopted a Position Statement on the Rights of Adult Readers and Learners (2002) and Guidelines for Professional Ethics (2003). Eight Guiding Principles were adopted to replace the strategic plan. The number and value of scholarship and travel awards have increased, and projects initiated by Special Interest Groups and state/region/chapter groups are generously funded. CRLA tutor program certification, a revised edition of the Tutor Training Handbook, and new ITPC pins for trained tutors are sought by more and more programs. CRLA continues to nominate worthy ACDEA Fellows as paradigms of professional practice. The Association supported the work of ACDEA’s Blue Ribbon Commission and in the past year helped ACDEA transition into the Council of Learning Assistance and Developmental Education Associations (CLADEA) to take collaborative action for high standards and professional development. At more than years young, CRLA offers its fall conference to celebrate your work as members of the first organization in the field of college reading, learning assistance, developmental education, and student success!
