#NCTE24
November 21-24 in Boston, Massachusetts
“When we teach our students, it is far more than teaching for that moment and far more than teaching a particular skill in isolation.
When we teach our students, the larger, more far-reaching purpose is for our scholars to learn to use the lessons from the classroom to transform their own lives and the lives of others.”
Tonya B. Perry – 2024 Program Chair | NCTE President-Elect
Online Professional Learning
Join NCTE, in partnership with PBS’s Poetry in America, for an upcoming virtual event. In honor of National Poetry Month, Elisa New will host a webinar for K-12 English Language Arts educators. This event will focus on the poetry of Phillis Wheatley and will feature clips from the Season 4 premiere episode. Attendees will learn strategies for close reading and teaching Wheatley’s poems in particular—and complex texts more broadly.
Join us for the third installment of the Read & Write + Code series: “Once upon a Prime: The Connections between Mathematics and Literature.” Featured guest Sarah Hart will show that not only are mathematics and literature inextricably linked, but that understanding these links can enhance our enjoyment of both.
The third and final event will provide participants with practical teaching strategies, activities, and resources to effectively address racism, fat phobia, and anti-Blackness in their educational settings.
Join us for the final installment of the Read & Write + Code series: “Digging In to Digital Humanities.” In this webinar, Dr. Matt Jockers will provide a short history of humanities computing with an emphasis on applications of technology in the literature classroom.
Join NCTE for a members-only Build Your Stack®-inspired event, led by members of the Middle Level Section Steering Committee. Members will be sharing many middle grade texts to share with students for their summer reading, or to add to your own summer reading plans.
The NCTE Video Library—available to all NCTE members—is home to more than 100 recordings for our members’ use, ranging from author and book conversations, to professional learning sessions, to Member Gatherings on a wide range of topics, and much more.
