About the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE)
NCTE is dedicated to improving the teaching and learning of English and the language arts at all levels of education and offers its members a wide range of professional development opportunities.
More than 500,000 teachers are logging onto NCTE resources each month. If your focus is on early literacy, writing or reading instruction, assessment, or preparing your students for standardized tests without "teaching to the test," NCTE has the right tools and publications to help you-and your students.

NCTE Membership |
NCTE has been the professional home for English language arts since 1911 and when you join the Council, you'll be able to take advantage of a knowledgebase of resources culled directly from the latest research-developed by leaders in the field and teacher—tested in classrooms like yours.
"I've long been aware of the very visible ways that NCTE supports teachers through books, journals, and conventions. I've grown to value the 'less visible' work such as advocacy and anticensorship support just as much."
