Affiliates
ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ members come from many different contexts. Joining one of these groups provides access to resources and experiences tailored to particular interests and needs.
Resources for Affiliates
Write for ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ: Affiliate Blog Series
We are planning content for a Literacy & ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ blog series called Affiliates in Action, featuring stories of successful activities of ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµâ€™s state and regional affiliates. Our goal is to showcase and celebrate all that our affiliates and their members are doing to advance literacy education and to support ELA educators. ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ welcomes written pieces on this topic. We also invite accompanying photos that you have permission to share. We are particularly looking for stories that include the voices and experiences of affiliate leaders and affiliate members. Please email affsec@ncte.org for information about how to contribute.
Affiliate Exhibit Kits
One service ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ provides to its affiliates is a sampling of publications to display at affiliate conferences. An ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ exhibit at your conference enables your members to see for themselves the varied publications ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ has to offer. Those who are interested in joining ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ will be able to pick up an ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ membership application right at the exhibit.
- The Affiliate Exhibit Kit is sent at no cost to affiliates and contains complimentary items such as publications, catalogs, journals, and other ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ resources. Affiliate Exhibit Kits should be ordered at least six weeks before your conference.
- The ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ Publication Sales Option allows affiliates to order an unlimited number of ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ publications and ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ merchandise at a 40% discount from the nonmember price and keep any profit earned from exhibit sales. Orders plus an additional shipping charge must be prepaid. If express shipping is requested, affiliates will be invoiced for the actual cost of that shipping. This option also comes with the materials found in the Affiliate Exhibit kit mentioned above. Orders for ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ Publication Sales Option must be made at least six weeks before the conference.

ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ Intellectual Freedom Center
ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ recognizes that the freedom to read and other components of intellectual freedom are vital to literacy and our mission. Through the Intellectual Freedom Center, ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ has for many decades offered guidance, tools, and other support to teachers faced with challenges in classrooms and schools pertaining to texts (e.g., literary works, films and videos, drama productions), student writing, and/or to teaching methods.
As affiliate leaders, we know your members often reach out in need of assistance. We encourage you to direct your members to the ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ Intellectual Freedom Center‘s resources and hotline, which provides confidential information, guidance, support, and next steps in accordance with ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµâ€™s resources on intellectual freedom in the classroom. We are here to support you and your affiliate members in the fight against censorship.
