At the premier annual event for English language arts and literacy educators, you’ll build connections with educators from all parts of the country, enjoy social and cultural events, and choose from more than a thousand sessions and workshops. Attendees are also eligible for digital badges.
“I attend several conventions throughout the year, and I do think that NCTE is one of the best organized and easiest to navigate, to find the strand that you’re interested in, to find the people that you know, and, I don’t know, I think it’s incredible the work that goes into the conference and how easily accessible it is for everyone.” – Rebekah Adams
