Next Issue: September 2019
Theme: LETTERS TO A NEW TEACHER

CATE members possess a wealth of knowledge about teaching that too often goes untapped. For this back-to-school issue of California English, we invite you to share what you have learned the hard way with teachers new to the profession. Knowing what you know now, what would you do differently? Were there instinctive moves that you made that produced powerful learning?
What advice do you have for novices?
