Advocacy for Everday Teachers
Web Seminar Archive

Join middle school teacher Susan Houser, former NCTE Middle Level Representative-at-Large and member of the NCTE Executive Committee Government Relations/Advocacy Subcommittee, to learn how easy it is to advocate for literacy education. In this hour you’ll learn

• How you can successfully speak to legislators about practices that do (and don’t) work in your classroom and school and how much legislators appreciate this.
• How you can play a part in NCTE Literacy Education Advocacy Day.
• How NCTE develops the Legislative Platform that guides its advocacy work.

You’ll even have time to role play and practice how you might speak to your legislators!

Resource recommendations:

This seminar is a great opportunity for you to prepare for NCTE Literacy Education Advocacy Day on April 17, 2008, to get ready to meet legislators and policymakers in your home district this year even if you can’t attend this year’s Advocacy Day, and to help you get ready to attend NCTE Literacy Education Advocacy Day on April 23, 2009.
