The Conference on English Leadership (CEL) invites CEL members to join the final virtual Social Hour for the 2026–2027 school year. This session will provide a space to pose problems of practice, connect and network, and share the challenges and opportunities of literacy leadership in individual contexts.

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:

• pose problems of practice from their schools to workshop solutions with other leaders;
• brainstorm, troubleshoot, and develop ways forward for literacy teams, teachers, students, and departments; and
• network and join a community of lifelong literacy leaders.

Certificates of attendance are available upon request.

Please contact profdev@ncte.org with questions.
