Convention workshops invite participants to consider a topic or an issue in greater detail and with more in-depth discussion than is usually possible at the shorter concurrent sessions during the Convention. The brief descriptions below suggest the dimensions of each workshop as well as the form its deliberations will take. Also described here are the Annual Convention of the Conference on English Leadership (CEL), the Whole Language Umbrella Workshop, and the Colloquium of the Conference on English Education (CEE).

Throughout the workshop descriptions, each event title is followed by a letter code in parentheses, indicating the level or levels of interest embraced by the topic: (E) for Elementary, (M) for Middle Level, (S) for Secondary, (C) for College, and (G) for General (all levels).

To register for a workshop, see the Convention Registration Form. Workshop enrollment is limited.
