NCTE is the largest professional organization for English/language arts in the US and has an international membership. The NCTE honor reinforces Georgia Tech’s national presence as a model of excellence in digital pedagogy and multimodal communication (encompassing written, oral, visual, electronic, and non-verbal modalities). It reflects the Institute and the College’s investment in a leading-edge program that offers students, faculty, researchers, staff, and alumni opportunities to develop first-rate communication strategies that serve them in the classroom, community, and workplace.
Housed in the Ivan Allen College School of Literature, Communication, and Culture, the Writing and Communication Program serves all of Georgia Tech. In representing Georgia Tech’s program to NCTE, Director, Dr. Rebecca Burnett collaborated with a team of Brittain Postdoctoral Fellows, led by Dr. Jesse Stommel and including Dr. Lauren Curtright, Dr. Melanie Kohnen, and Dr. Roger Whitson. The award will be presented during the NCTE annual convention in November. Read more about the Writing and Communication Program.
