July 19, 2021. DEADLINE EXTENDED! Proposals for NCTEAR's 2022 Virtual Mid-Winter Conference are now due on September 19, 2021 at 11:59 ET.
May 3, 2021. NCTEAR announces 2022 Virtual Conference. As a literacy research community, we are navigating uncharted times. COVID-19 has prompted universities, colleges, career centers, and K-12 schools to close their doors and migrate to online learning platforms to provide remote instruction. Although vaccines are now available, there are still too many uncertainties related to evolving COVID-19 mitigation efforts and regulations for New York City for us to properly plan a safe and engaging in-person conference. As such, the Executive Committee of NCTEAR would like to announce that our 2022 conference will be virtual. We deeply appreciate the feedback you provided in the survey, as well as your patience and understanding as we work to plan the 2022 conference.
February 26, 2021. Candidates are announced for the NCTEAR 2021 election for the position of Treasurer. Please use the electronic ballot emailed to current members to cast your vote.

Given that Teachers College, Columbia will be fully online fall semester and given the uncertainty of the college opening in January 2021, we have decided to postpone the 2021 in-person conference until January 2022. However, we will host a few virtual events on January 30, 2021 that may include a twitter chat, keynote panel, and virtual gathering.
The decision to postpone the 2021 conference will shift our conference timeline to the following schedule:
