  • November, 2019
    N​ CETA Notes November, 2019 Fall Conference Review NCETA hosted its Annual Fall Conference, Literacy in the 21st Century, Oct. 11-12 in Charlotte, NC. The ​ ​ conference opened with a screening of Truth Underground, a documentary about three spoken word ​ ​ poets, followed by a panel discussion featuring poet CJ Suitt and filmmaker Gerret Werner. On Saturday, session presenters shared strategies to amplify student voice in the classroom, create a culturally representative pedagogy, and foster creativity and collaboration in our students. Keynote speaker Donovan Livingston shared the importance of disrupting our practices as educators to keep students at the forefront of our classrooms. Our Outstanding Teachers NCETA recognized Dr. Kerry Martinez, kindergarten teacher at Hunter Elementary School in Raleigh, ​ ​ as its Outstanding Literacy Teacher at its 2019 Conference, honoring her passion, dedication, and insistence that “Literacy happens in all teachable moments throughout the day, providing students ​ 1 with the perspective that literacy enhances who they are as friends, thinkers, and learners,” in the words of her principal, Briana Pelton. Former Hunter PTA President Dr. Kelly Morris Roberts, in her nomination of Dr. Martinez, described how “Kerry has a knack for making those little wiggly pails, those vessels for learning that burst into ​ her door each day, just able to hold lots more and do lots more than they could when they entered in September.” Dr. Roberts further describes Dr. Martinez’s gift for building capacity in her students: In her firm, fair, and friendly way, she expects great things from each one of her students, and to hear her parents talk, she gets it.
