KATE Update

KATE UPDATE is published four times a year as a benefit of membership. Its purpose is to inform the membership of activities of KATE and the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), announcements of clearly indicated policy, and to provide a means for discussion of ideas and issues concerning the content and teaching of English and language arts. Published points of view do not imply endorsement by the officers or membership at large.

Submission deadlines are typically one month before the December, March, July and September publication dates.

Kansas English


Kansas English welcomes articles, essays, research studies, and revised conference presentations. Other forms of writing, including book reviews, interviews and poetry are also welcome.

We especially invite submissions from teachers from all over the Wheat State, from all cultures and backgrounds, and from those who teach at any grade level from pre-Kindergarten through Graduate school.
