The Conference on English Leadership (CEL) invites NCTE members to join a virtual Social Hour kicking off the 2026 summer break. This session will provide an opportunity to connect, share successes, and set future professional goals around literacy leadership.
These gatherings can be casual and relational while addressing the detailed work of supervision, curriculum, instruction, advocacy, assessment, and collaboration. CEL serves the important role of providing community and support for literacy leaders who may be the only English language arts department chair, supervisor, or coordinator in their locale.
At this event, literacy leaders will
- share leadership and team successes from the school year and look ahead to future professional goals,
- meet and network with other literacy leaders who share similar job responsibilities, and
- take a breather from the pressures of leadership to uplift one another in our work.
Please contact profdev@ncte.org with questions.
