2008 NCTE Annual Convention

"Because Shift Happens: Teaching In the Twenty-First Century"

Nov 20, 2008 - Nov 23, 2008
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, San Antonio, Texas United States
 

Highlights

Join thousands of K-12 teachers, college faculty, administrators, and other educational professionals, as they gather to hear award-winning speakers, attend idea-packed sessions, share best practices, and test the latest teaching materials at the 98th NCTE Annual Convention in San Antonio, Texas!

Excerpt from Welcome Message of
President-Elect Kylene Beers

". . .At NCTE 2007, we explored the topic of diverse literacies in the twenty-first century literacy; now, for the 2008 convention, we invite you to push this thinking even further by joining the national conversation about how to juggle those diverse literacies while addressing current technological, political, social, and cultural shifts. Do this by explaining how you’re effectively working with English language learners, coping with political pressure to pass high-stakes tests, addressing the ever more diverse student populations, and teaching with and through technology to all levels of students across all the language arts. Explain how you use technology to enhance your own learning and how you use it to communicate not only with colleagues, but with parents, politicians, and administrators. Share how technology has affected assessment of students and of yourself. . ."

I can think of no better city than San Antonio, Texas, in which to come together to discuss these shifts. San Antonio is a multilingual, multicultural city, and the San Antonio Riverwalk serves as a powerful metaphor for what you might feel in this time of shift. You’ll stroll the Riverwalk, seduced by the lush vegetation, the gentle lap of a meandering river against the banks of a manicured path; you’ll sit at an outdoor restaurant and visit with friends to music that is drifting on the air. In its shade, time seems slower.
