I am a better educator and a passionate advocate FOR teachers because of my experiences at the NCTE Convention over more than 20 years.

The people you meet, the strategies you learn, the passion you encounter—it’s all unlike any other professional learning

experience out there. You walk away with your bags bursting with books from more than 120 exhibitors and

your mind bursting with ideas from more than 6,000 brilliant educators, PreK–college, who hail from across the country and around the globe.

This year we’re planning a Convention that will o�er all the relevant and inspiring instructional ideas and resources NCTE’s event is known for. But we’re also

planning a wealth of learning experiences that focus on the role educators play as advocates.

As teachers, we are the ones who know our students, our content, and our instructional needs best. Whether we’re

seeking diverse books, piloting a new approach, building community connections, or searching for ways to transform detrimental policies—our role as teachers often requires us to take action, and this Convention is all about how.

I hope you'll join us in Atlanta this November. You're likely to leave with a new way of teaching writing or a new way of writing for change—or both! One thing I guarantee: you'll leave renewed, energized by a community of educators like no other, in a city steeped in a long history of working for change.
