The major organization for English teachers in the USA is the National Council of Teachers of English. Every year they hold a national conference in a different city. This year it will be held in Balitmore. In addition to the annual meeting, they also publish a number of peer reviewed journals, and a multitude of other resources for teachers of English. Part of what they put out are official policy statements that can be helpful for teachers to understand and define their own positions on contemporary topics in the field of English education. One part of NCTE that might be useful to teachers of other subject areas is the National Center for Literacy Education. They explain that "For six years, NCLE provided support to and compiled evidence about how educators working in cross-disciplinary teams were designing and implementing plans to support literacy learners in every classroom."
