Attending the 2022 NCTE Annual Convention provides considerable opportunities for professional learning. Typically, each November, thousands of literacy educators from across the country make the journey to a Convention that inspires their practice and rejuvenates their profession.
They collect strategies and best practices for teaching literacy, language, and composition. They learn new ideas for delivering instruction that engages students and addresses the most pressing needs within the school and district.
NCTE’s Convention is the most historic annual literacy gathering for teachers and educators. Now celebrating its 113th consecutive year, #NCTE22 connects educators to the most passionate and energetic minds in literacy. Attendees will hear from leading education voices as well as hundreds of national authors, all engaging together around the pressing topics of the field.
