SLATE - Support for the Learning and Teaching of English
Greetings!
SLATE is NCTE's grassroots network that:
-
seeks to influence public attitudes and policy decisions affecting the teaching of English language arts at local, state, and national levels;
-
seeks to implement and publicize the policies adopted by the National Council of Teachers of English; and
-
serves as NCTE's intellectual freedom network, providing support for those facing censorship challenges.
A separate membership fee is not required to join SLATE. Every NCTE member will receive SLATE updates on a regular basis, will have an opportunity to participate in SLATE campaigns, and will occasionally be invited to support SLATE through voluntary contributions.
