IN MEMORIAMWilliam H. (Bill) TealeJune 19, 1947 to February 3, 2018William H. (Bill) Teale, a longstanding and important contributor to the tothe LRA community passed away on February 3, 2018. Born in Bentleyville,Pennsylvania, Teale received his BA in English at Pennsylvania State University, andhis Ed.D in Reading and English Education at the University of Virginia. He servedas a consultant to school districts and libraries across the United States, as well as toChildren’s Television Workshop, Head Start, public television, Reach Out and Read,and NGOs in developing programs focused on literacy learning and teaching. Hewas also an advisor to the National Academy of Education, the U.S. Department of Education, and the NationalEndowment for the Humanities. He was President of the International Literary Association, 2016–2017. He wasDirector of the UIC Center for Literacy, on the Board of Directors of the Literacy Research Association (2007–2009), on the Board of Directors of the International Reading Association (2011–2014), and President of theInternational Literacy Association (2016–2017).He was recognized in 2013 with the awarding of the prestigious University Scholar at the Universityof Illinois at Chicago, where he spent the majority of his career as a scholar, mentor, teacher, andinternationally recognized literacy leader. A member of the Reading Hall of Fame since 2003, his workfocused on three interrelated strands designed to change both policies and practices in literacy researchand education. His research activity was characterized by collaboration. He collaborated with leaders intheir respective fields, colleagues at his home institution and multiple organizations, as well as graduatestudents and early career faculty. As President of the International Literacy Research Association he wasable to influence literacy policy, research and practice far and wide. He modeled socially responsibleresearch that was generative of theory (e.g., emergent literacy), informed practices (e.g., emergent literacy,digital tools in teacher preparation and professional development, principals’ and literacy coaches’ literacyleadership), and encouraged sound policies (e.g., best practices in preschool teacher development andinstructional practices). In doing so, he modeled and influenced subsequent generations in what itmeans to engage in rigorous, theory-driven research designed to enhance the everyday lives and practicesof school leaders, instructional practitioners, and their students.Teale’s collaborative spirit is reflected in how he brought others into work he was interested in pursuing,while being sought after by others to collaborate in their lines of work. He has written for numerousscholarly books and for top-tier research and research-into-practice journals such as the EducationalResearcher, Research in the Teaching of English, The Reading Teacher, Young Children, InstructionalScience, and Language Arts. He has presented papers and colloquia in over 25 countries around theworld. By January of 2018, he had contributed over 60 refereed journal articles, over half of which werefirst authored. In addition, he contributed chapters to a similar number of books published within theUnited States and internationally. Further, his two books include the now classic Emergent Literacyvolume co-edited with Sulzby and a co-authored book applying research to practice in early literacyinstruction. He has authored a range of editorials through his leadership as editor of Language Arts andco-editor of the Illinois Reading Council Journal for many years. These publications reflect the core linesReclaiming Literacy Research - Centering Activism, Community, and Love68th Annual Conference of the Literacy Research Association November 28 - December 1, 2018 Indian Wells, CA7
IN MEMORIAMof his research, while also showing his reach into areas that grew out of or were related to his corelines of work. His groundbreaking work in emergent literacy shifted the field from its belief in ‘readingreadiness’ to the widely accepted and almost taken-for-granted belief in emergent literacy. His volume(with Sulzby) introducing the construct of emergent literacy in the United States, based on the work ofMarie Clay in emergent reading, has been cited in over 1700 publications between 1986 and 2001. Theconcepts underlying this research have fundamentally changed the way we as a field, as well as parentsand policy-makers, view young children in terms of their use of early sign systems for communicatingand interpreting text. His selection as advisor to Sesame Street is yet another indicator of thesignificance of his scholarship and his reputation as a researcher committed to having an impact onpolicy and practice, also serving as Director of their Preschool Education Program (PEP) Initiative. Theongoing significance of his emergent literacy research is also seen in his role as principal investigator forthree Early Reading First projects between 2006-2013 that have implemented forward-looking preschoolliteracy programs in some of Chicago’s poorest neighborhood schools.William Teale has led his professional life to enrich the knowledge, understanding, and development ofliteracy in our multicultural and multilingual world. He has been a colleague within our internationalcommunity and emphasized the pluralism that is fundamental to our world today.8Reclaiming Literacy Research - Centering Activism, Community, and Love68th Annual Conference of the Literacy Research Association November 28 - December 1, 2018 Indian Wells, CA
