Arizona English Teachers Association (AETA)

The Arizona English Teachers Association (AETA) serves as a professional network of English language arts educators across Arizona. It is the state affiliate of the national network, the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).

The primary function of AETA is to foster policies, standards, and goals of NCTE among Arizona’s educators of communication skills, language arts, and English from kindergarten through college/university levels.

To this aim, it is AETA’s goal to serve these teachers by narrowing the national focus to the needs, interest, and goals of Arizona teachers and students.

AETA provides resources and support to increase a sense of community and pedagogical connections for Arizona English teachers from around the state.  We hold an annual conference in September, plus webinars and opportunities throughout the year.
