Lisa Dicksteen's essay titled, "'But I Hate Writing': Identifying and Alleviating Secondary Students' Writing Anxieties," was accepted for publication in "The English Record", the official journal of the New York State English Council.

This essay was written for the MAT course, English 592/WRT592 : Critical Problems in Composition when Ms.Dicksteen was an MAT English Program student. She has since graduated.

Patricia A. Dunn, Associate Professor of English Teacher Education, co-authored the journal article, "Analyzing Grammar Rants: An Alternative to Traditional Grammar Instruction" (May, 2006 English Journal).

Performance in the English Language Arts Classroom."  The article was co-authored with several of Mike's former Stony Brook and Folger Shakespeare library students, many of whom are now secondary English teachers on Long Island.

An essay by Jessica Whitney (Former MAT English student and English teacher at Candlewood Middle School in Dix Hills) was published in "English Journal", a national, peer-reviewed journal for secondary English teachers published by the National Council of Teachers of English. Jess's paper, "Five Easy Pieces: Steps Towards Integrating African American Vernacular English into Your Classroom" appeared in the May 2005 issue.
