CEL Virtual Events

Throughout the year CEL offers a variety of online programs and social hours for literacy leaders that are focused specifically on interpersonal, departmental, and organizational/systemic leadership. All events are free and open to NCTE and CEL members.

The Conference on English Leadership (CEL) invites NCTE members to join CEL’s virtual Social Hours, which provide opportunities to connect, troubleshoot, and share strategies around literacy leadership.

These gatherings are casual and relational, 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.

Literacy leaders will

• Map their own professional pathways by networking with other leaders who share similar responsibilities,
• Address topics that are both pressing and persistent in our field, to select effective practices to enact with and empower their teams, and
• Engage in a community of lifelong learners through analysis of books, articles, and strategies relevant to the field of English education.
