Experience the Heart of Boston at #NCTE24

Your Learning Never Ends at NCTE 2024

Step Outside the Convention and into a City Renowned for Education 

 

Boston is rightly known as a cradle of education—the home of more than 35 colleges, universities, and specialty schools as well as the first public school in the United States, the first school built specifically to educate Black children, and the first US school for the blind.

A Living Classroom
But as you’ll discover at #NCTE24, Boston is a living classroom when it comes to learning. The Boston Public Library (BPL), the first large free municipal library in the United States, has a collection of nearly 24 million items, including early editions of William Shakespeare and the personal library of John Adams. The BPL is one of more than 75 sites that comprise the Boston Literary Cultural District, which encompasses the former residences of Julia Ward Howe, Henry James, Louisa May Alcott, Kahlil Gibran, Sylvia Plath, and other writers as well as several bookstores and museums and the famous Make Way for Ducklings sculpture.

From Keynotes to Cobblestones
From keynote speakers such as Ketanji Brown Jackson and Ada Limón to workshops and sessions on topics such as digital literary practices and inclusive ELA instruction, #NCTE24 has something to inspire and inform educators in all levels and settings.

 

At #NCTE24, your learning experience won’t end when you walk out the doors of the convention center. Register now and get ready to experience all that Boston has to offer!
