Description
The National Council of Teachers of English, through English Language Arts Teacher Educators (ELATE), annually recognizes innovative integration of newer technologies into teacher education courses and workshops. The fellowship provides an opportunity to present at the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education (SITE) international conference, encouraging dialogue across institutions and the broader teacher education community.
The award emphasizes theoretically sound, research-based English language arts and literacy teaching in which technology supports learning rather than becoming the primary focus. It recognizes approaches that create otherwise unavailable learning opportunities, improve literacy mastery, or address challenges facing teachers, students, and communities. It also highlights new technology-supported teaching methods with promise across widely divergent educational settings.
