He is also a former President of the National Council of Teachers of English and has chaired two international conferences on the teaching of language and literacy. In 2012 he was named "Rhetorician of the Year" by the Young Rhetoricians Conference in recognition of his career-long contributions to the teaching of writing and to the development of teachers of writing through his publications and professional leadership.
