CEL Talks Podcast
This podcast series is brought to you by the Conference on English Leadership (CEL), a collaborative, dynamic, discussion-based forum for literacy leaders organized under the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE). Every year and in every episode, we honor conversations around texts, speakers, and big ideas. We believe it’s essential for leaders to maintain and move conversations. Welcome to the conversation!
