How is ChatGPT like Dickens’s Uriah Heep? Keynote Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling reminded us why English teachers matter. He spoke about his journey to becoming a journalist and Pulitzer finalist, and how education and storytelling can fight ignorance and censorship while building brave, safe communities.

Enjoyed an inspiring author Q&A with Daniel Ravipinto, Neil McGarry, Chandra Prasad, and Debbi Michiko Florence! They discussed AI, censorship, inspiration, advice for new writers, self-publishing, and the books and mentors that shaped their journeys. #NEATE25 #NCTE

We celebrated some truly outstanding educators at our luncheon today, from early-career educators to seasoned veterans to those whose contributions have strengthened both the teaching of English and NEATE itself. We’re so proud to honor your talent, skill, creativity, and dedication.
