The Florida Council of Teachers of English is the only state affiliate of the National Council of Teachers of English. It is a collegial community dedicated to the ongoing improvement of our professional practice for the benefit of ALL of Florida’s K-12  ELA students. Since its inception over 90 years ago, FCTE has provided a platform for learning, doing, and growing through professional publications, annual conferences, and networking opportunities for individual and collective growth. We provide awards for pre-service, early career, and experienced teachers, and awards for students across the state, including opportunities to work with published authors. Membership includes discounted registration to our annual PDI, and access to other professional opportunities and materials. Florida’s students deserve teachers who are involved in research, personal and professional growth, and initiatives that generate success in ELA. FCTE is the state’s professional home for ELA educators.

We invite you to be a part of this organization and to find a home for YOUR ideas. Presenting at the Professional Development Institute is not just a line item on your resume, it is a chance to share your love of teaching with your peers, to help encourage other teachers to approach their lessons with rigor and engagement at the forefront.

We are excited that you are interested in presenting at the 2022 FCTE PDI.
