In an effort to inform and support English educators, NCTE introduces Trends and Issues, annual volumes comprised of current trends and issues deemed vital to the professional conversation by our membership at large. We hope you'll find our annual compilations to be valuable resources to be returned to often, to facilitate professional development, and to be reminders that we all have a stake in the language arts profession.
