#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
