NCTE Conference in Atlanta Nov 2016: Proposals Due Jan 13th

Program proposals are now being accepted for the 2016 National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Annual Convention in Atlanta, Georgia! “Faces of Advocacy” will take place November 17-20, 2016. The deadline to submit program proposals is 11:59 p.m. PST, January 13, 2016.

In her Call for Program Proposals, Program Chair Susan Houser states, “When we hear the word advocacy in connection to our profession, every one of us—teachers, instructors, professors, researchers, writers—has a different definition of what that means.” She goes on to propose that there’s room for all our definitions in the 2016 program because as educators we are advocates for many things, including:

  • Ourselves and other teachers
  • Our profession
  • Our own well-being and health
  • Our students
  • Literacy and learning
  • Social change
  • Researchers and writers
  • Parents, grandparents, or guardians
