FACT: This photo is featured prominently in one of my NCTE sessions … that’s<\/em> how awesome this conference will be.<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The NCTE annual conference is coming up this week. It’s going to be a busy (and awesome) conference.<\/p>\n

I’ll post my general\u00a0itinerary\u00a0below (noting that there are some time conflicts that are problematic). However, I’d first like to invite all NCTE members to a general Research Forum<\/a> meeting. Cindy O’Donnell-Allen and I will be co-chairing the Research Forum. The meeting will be held bright and early:<\/p>\n

Saturday, November 17
\n8:30 a.m. – 9:45 a.m.
\nDiego Restaurant, Convention Center Walkway<\/p>\n

Cindy and I are\u00a0interested in using our meeting time at NCTE as an opportunity to\u00a0collectively share a vision for where our\u00a0research\u00a0is headed, who\u00a0conducts this\u00a0research, and how it is articulated to NCTE members and\u00a0the general public. A couple of goals we have include integrating even\u00a0more teacher voice within NCTE\u2019s\u00a0research\u00a0and to encouraging the work\u00a0of early-career researchers. We are particularly interested to hear\u00a0from you about what specific\u00a0research\u00a0initiatives you would like to\u00a0see NCTE pursue in the coming year. Please join us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also worth noting is the CEE colloquium taking place on the Monday following the conference. It will be awesome:<\/p>\n

RAISING THE BIG TOP: ARTS, LITERACY, AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
\nMonday, November 19, 2012, 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.<\/h5>\n

This day-long workshop will interest K-adult teachers, teacher educators, graduate students and researchers. Presenters\/performers include representatives from Cirque du Soleil, the Smith Center for the Performing Arts and a local school. They will be joined by English education faculty \u00a0from Colorado State University: Pam Coke, Antero Garcia,\u00a0 Cindy O’Donnell-Allen, and workshop facilitator, Louann Reid.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you’re interested in attending I believe registration info for this post-conference workshop can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The rest of my itinerary follows and includes an (awesome) ignite talk, an (awesome) workshop focused on critical media literacy, an (awesome) roundtable discussing digital third space stuffy, and an (awesome) morning session about storytelling as critical consciousness. It will be an awesome conference and I hope to see you in Vegas. Send me a tweet<\/a> to say hello!<\/p>\n
