"Southland" includes
Los Angeles,
Orange,
Ventura,
Santa Barbara,
Riverside, and
San
Bernardino counties.
Our members include English teachers working in
both public and private school settings, as well as retired English
teachers. We are always looking for new members and fresh ideas!
Our
mission is to give teachers of English an
opportunity to participate as thinkers, readers, and writers in a
professional creation and exchange of ideas within a collegial and
supportive community, in accordance with the California Standards for the
Teaching Profession (CSTP), the National Board for Professional Teaching
Standards (NBPTS), and Teaching Performance Expectations (TPE).
Why join SCTE?
SCTE offers opportunities for professional collaboration with other English
teachers across the region, as well as access to professional resources
(trade journals and other publications). SCTE membership includes CATE
membership, which includes discounted rates at both the CATE and SCTE
professional conferences.
SCTE offers the chance to share your expertise and to gain the expertise of
others outside your own school and your own school district.
SCTE offers the chance to make a difference in our profession beyond the
commitment you've made to your own students and your own school community.
We would love to get to know you and find out all that you have to offer!
Our next meeting: 6/7 in Long Beach. Any and all Southland English
teachers are welcomed and encouraged to attend.
Contact us for more information.
Congratulations to our NCTE Winners!
