Increase Your Involvement in NCTE!

NCTE Leadership Opportunities
Watch your email for a survey asking if you'd like to be considered for nomination to an NCTE elected office. Details about the roles that need to be filled in next spring's elections will be included. If NCTE doesn't have an email address on file for you, you can request a copy of the survey by contacting NCTE.

Shape NCTE Positions by Submitting a Resolution
If you have concerns about issues that affect your teaching, or positions you would like to support, and you think NCTE should take a stand, you have an opportunity to be heard! Propose a resolution that may be voted upon and passed at NCTE’s Annual Convention in San Antonio. For details on submitting a resolution, or to see resolutions already passed by Council members, visit the NCTE website or contact NCTE. Committee chair Sheldon Wrice must receive resolutions by October 15, 2008.

Help Shape the Future Leadership of NCTE
NCTE is looking for organized, energetic teachers, supervisors, and curriculum specialists at all levels of education who have shown interest in the profession and NCTE by participating in the work of affiliates and Council activities to stand for election to its major offices and Section committee posts in 2009.

The 2009 ballots will include candidates for vice president (from the NCTE College Section); representatives-at-large (elementary and middle levels); trustees of the NCTE Research Foundation; members of the NCTE Nominating Committee; steering and nominating committee members for the Elementary, Middle Level, Secondary, and College Sections of NCTE; and offices within CEE and TYCA.

See the NCTE website for information on nominating colleagues or yourself. November 1, 2008, is the deadline to send nominations to NCTE; nominations will also be accepted during the NCTE Annual Convention.
