NCTE/CEE - James N. Britton Award

Organization: National Council of Teachers of English, Conference on English Education

The purpose of the James N. Britton Award is to encourage English Language teacher development, consistent with the major goal of CEE, by promoting reflective inquiry in which teachers raise questions about teaching and learning in their own teaching/learning settings. The published material may be conducted by an English Language Arts Teacher at any level--preschool through university, published in any format including a distributed final research report during the two-year time period under consideration, and focused on a systematic study of any aspect of the inquirer's own teaching, including collaborative research with other practitioners. Nominations may be made by any Language Arts educator or by self-nomination. For this year's award, nominations for studies published between January 1 of two years previous and December 31 of the previous year will be accepted.
