Welcome to NCETA's new webpage! Though it is currently under construction, keep checking back for updates. What is NCETA? Founded in 1943 to improve the quality of instruction in English at all levels, the North Carolina English Teachers Association is unique among professional organizations. It offers the only opportunity in North Carolina for English and language arts teachers to build a statewide professional community. It is our most effective means for fostering the professional growth of English/language arts teachers and for influencing decisions about curriculum and instruction at national, state, and local levels.
