A website I would highly suggest checking out is the International Reading Association's page. On this site, each year the current hottest topics dealing with literacy are posted. Here is the link to 2009's current issues in reading: IRA Hot List 2009. The list may not reflect the topics that are currently being discussed at your school, but they are interesting to see what other schools are discussing.
As stated on the IRA site: "The 'very hot' topics for 2009 are: adolescent literacy, English as a second language/English-language learners, high-stakes assessment, literacy coaches/reading coaches, and RTI. Of these, the hottest of the 'very hot' topics were adolescent literacy and RTI." I know at my school all of these topics except adolescent literacy (I teach at an elementary school) are issues that we discuss. As a professional, I feel that it is important to stay current in the issues that are affecting teaching.
