Charge
The Commission on Literature is a deliberative and advisory body which each year identifies and reports to the NCTE Executive Committee:
- on key issues in the teaching of literature
- reviews what the Council has done concerning literature during the year
- recommends new projects and persons who might undertake them
The Commission:
- monitors current and projected NCTE publications (other than journals)
- suggests topics for future NCTE publications on literature
- performs a similar role of review and recommendation for the NCTE Annual Convention program
Occasionally, the Commission undertakes further tasks and projects as approved by the NCTE Executive Committee.
