NCTE Resources to Build Your StackⓇ

NCTE members know that the right book in the right hands can transform a life. That is why NCTE created Build Your Stack®, an initiative focused exclusively on helping teachers build their book knowledge and their classroom libraries.

Intellectual Freedom Resources

NCTE knows that you want to provide learning experiences that allow students to see themselves in the world around them. Seeing students’ interests sparked by reading stories where they see themselves represented is the key to building a thirst for reading and inquiry. In the current polarized environment, it is important to thoughtfully consider book choice. The NCTE Book Rationale Database is available to all members and provides insight on specific titles in the ELA classroom.
