Resources
Council books, journals, meetings, and Web resources help provide professional support throughout the many stages of your teaching career.
In spring 2025, based on feedback from the This Story Matters Teacher Corps and the Committee Against Censorship, the rationale template was updated and annotated versions for writers and readers were created:
Rationale Template – Annotated for Writers
Rationale Template – Annotated for Readers
Because of this project’s long history, some rationales may vary in format or include titles or standards that are no longer current. Members are encouraged to examine the content carefully to ensure it meets their specific needs. Over time, some rationales will be replaced or supplemented with newer versions.
Contact intellectualfreedom@ncte.org with any feedback or questions about the database, rationales, or This Story Matters.v
