CATE & NCTE

http://www.cateweb.org/cate2009/call_for_presenters.htm

The California Association of Teachers of English (CATE) is the major statewide professional organization supporting English teachers and providing professional development materials; NCTE is the national arm.

The link to CATE & NCTE above is CATE's call for presenters at the next conference. Scroll to the bottom of the page. "GLBT" stands for "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender." This belies O'Connell's statement that gender issues will not be taught in regular classrooms.

I do know GLBT lessons will not be taught in my classroom.
