**Welcome to the YAL Plus Theory wiki site!**
This is the wiki page for the participants of the [|Teachers as Scholars] professional development course, "Young Adult Literature and Theory: Perfect Together" taught by [|Dr. Laura Nicosia] at Montclair State University in fall 2007.

Together, we will build a reference site for you to use during and after our Teachers As Scholars course. Please feel free to add to the site—post links to relevant, academic sources—and to make this document a living work-in-progress.

In the scroll menu to the left, you'll find additional pages to act as reference materials.

Below are several professional organizations you should join and several resources you should consult:


 * [|Assembly on Literature for Adolescents (ALAN)]
 * [|Kay Vandergrift's YAL Page]
 * [|Dr. Roberta Seelinger Trites' homepage]
 * [|Children's Literature Association]
 * [|The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA)]
 * [|Slideshare] for free access to various Powerpoints and Slideshows
 * [|Flickr] for free access to full-permission photos, clipart and images

If you have rubrics, book lists, assignments or any other related materials to share, feel free to do so!

Enjoy! -Laura Nicosia
