About Us
VCLE (formerly VCRE) is a special interest professional chapter of the VSLA (Virginia State Literacy Association). It is also an affiliate of the ILA (International Literacy Association). We are college and university educators in Virginia who specialize in literacy education. We represent both public and private institutions that teach undergraduate and graduate students in literacy.
In 1975, VCRE/VCLE formed so that college and university educators involved in teacher training and literacy programs could share information pertinent to state requirements, licensure, research, and best teaching practices.
We currently represent over 10 institutions of higher education in the commonwealth of Virginia. Our passion is reading and teaching reading. We work with preservice and inservice teachers and P12 schools across the state.
Keep up with best practices and advances in teacher education programs.
