Sustainability has become something of a catchphrase of late, a short-hand for
responsible growth, stewardship of resources, and awareness of environmental
impact. The discussion around education in our state, however, seems to focus on
the parts of our system that legislators find to be unsustainable: growth in salaries,
textbook purchases, even curricular mandates. As educators, our charge seems to
be, always, to“do more with less,”to sustain learning and thinking despite shrinking
budgets, fewer materials, and uncertain curricular guidelines.
So we experiment. We find alternative methods and materials. We read online and
compose paperless texts. We take virtual field trips. We engage with resources
within our own communities. We seek out independent opportunities for
professional development, for we know that sustaining our own learning is an
important step in encouraging our students’growth.
We do more with less because we know learning is not a product, but a sustained
process, one that continues over a lifetime. We do more with less, in the hopes
we may lessen the impact of an uncertain economic and political environment
on the lives of our students. We do more with less, to preserve a humanist English
Language Arts curriculum, one that recognizes that“value”should not be couched
solely in economic terms.
This year’s conference theme focuses on Composing Sustainability through
Language Arts. We are pleased to bring educators from across the state to consider
this theme and the important issues we face with our students. We want you to
know that the North Carolina English Teachers Association recognizes your
commitment to students, celebrates your professionalism as an educator,
and supports your efforts to develop and maintain a strong professional
learning network.
I have learned a lot in this first year as NCETA’s conference director - none of this
would have been possible without the exemplary models provided by Stephanie
West-Puckett over the last four years. Hers are not easy shoes to fill, and.organizing
this conference would have been impossible task without Stephanie’s support, as
well as that of our tireless Executive Director, Julie Malcom. I am profoundly grateful
to our Executive Board and Regional Directors for their ideas and feedback, and it
has been a joy to work with our partners at UNC-Asheville, who have made sure we
never had to“do more with less.”This conference, above all, depends on the
support of our exhibitors, NC Writing Projects, and presenters, whose time,
resources, and expertise make this event happen.
Welcome to Asheville, and enjoy the conference!

Jennifer Smyth, Conference Chair
North Carolina English Teachers Association
Dear North Carolina English Teachers Association:
We send greetings from the National Council of Teachers of English to you and to all conference
attendees on October 2-3, 2015! NCTE affirms the creation and offering of this Conference by
North Carolina English Teachers Association. Equally, we applaud each participant’s contribution
to the event and to the profession.
Teachers benefit from ongoing learning opportunities as they improve teaching of English,
English language arts, and literacy at all grade levels. Research shows that all students can
achieve at high levels when their teachers are continuing learners, especially in teams with
colleagues across disciplines. At this conference teachers can share new ideas and work
together with colleagues to better support their students’ learning.
NCTE provides professional learning in multiple ways through professional learning programs;
books, journals, and position statements; conventions and meetings; and participation in the
National Center for Literacy Education. In addition, NCTE alerts policymakers at the local, state,
and national level about effective teaching and learning practices to consider as they institute new
policies.
Just as your affiliate sparks your learning, NCTE can nourish your pedagogical knowledge,
access to colleagues across the country, and love for your profession. We invite you to join us.

Amy Charles Award
Amy Charles directed the NCETA writing contests for twenty years, beginning in
1961. “A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Charles received her BA from Westminster
College (1943) and her MA from the University of Pennsylvania (1944). After her
tenure at Westminster, she completed her PhD at the University of Pennsylvania (1955).
A year later, she moved to the Woman’s College (subsequently UNC-Greensboro), where
she taught until shortly before her death, March 24, 1985.” (1993* The North Carolina
English Teacher 11*). The contest was named the Amy Charles Writing Awards in 1985
and merged with the North Carolina Writing Awards in 1992 at the request of NCDPI,
who had previously administered those awards. In 2007, the NCETA Board of Directors
added the middle school contest and made the award exclusively a short fiction contest.
The contest is open to all North Carolina students in grades 6-8 and 9-12. Both the First
Place High School and Middle School Award winners receive $250 and publication on
the NCETA web site.

Twitter: Create Your Own Professional Development
Stephanie McCabe
Participants will learn to use or expand their use of Twitter as a professional development tool.
Full Session Description: One of the best aspects of professional development is the connections
we make to other practitioners. Twitter, a social networking platform, has the potential to connect
educators to many others not only in one’s local area, but also across the country. Twitter chats
allow participants to come together virtually to learn from and teach others about various profes-
sional topics. How can NC English teachers utilize this amazing tool, especially given the tight
restraints on our professional development budgets?

A Rose by Any Other Name Would be Called a Bae:
Mapping Language Change through Gendered
Representations in Literature
May Chung and Megan Myers, NCSU
Teachers and language arts professionals are adept at teaching students to connect the text to
themes found in and outside the canon. A recent focus on how linguistic changes underscore
those themes (particularly perceptions of gender) presents another lens from which to reinterpret
texts. Students can see how language shifts over time, and how gender paradigms are reinforced
and subverted in diverse ways. Students can then engage in language research to see similarities
and discrepancies between the forms reflected in text and spoken in real time. These comparisons
provoke students to think critically and reflect on their own language use. Sponsored by Triangle
Community Foundation, Durham.

Writing yourself home: Helping rural students learn to embrace
their home communities through persuasive essay writing
Erin Donovan, Coastal Carolina University
The idea of place extends beyond just the location where people live. Place is a narrative, a story
that involves interactions, characters, conflicts, and the rise and flow of humanity. By understand-
ing the importance of place and the connection to the places from which people originate, the
people, their motivations, and their strengths and weaknesses begin to take a shape that inspires
transformational ideas and actions. The purpose of this session is to discuss the impact of place-
based educational practices on rural middle school students’identities and their cultural connec-
tions as shown through student writing.

Exploring the Sustainability of the Flipped ELA Classroom:
Research, Implications, and Guidelines
Carl Young and Clarice Moran, NCSU
According to the Speak Up National Research Project (2012), 27% of principals wanted their
teachers to try implementing flipped instruction during the 2013-2014 school year. The flipped
method of instruction has become a hot topic in the media (Barr, 2013; Bergmann & Sams, 2012;
Berrett, 2012; Fulton, 2012; Gupta, 2011; Tucker, 2012), yet there is inconsistency in terms of defin-
ing what the method is and there is very little research to demonstrate its efficacy. Presenters plan
to begin this session with an interactive discussion, inviting participants to share and discuss their
own experiences with flipping the ELA classroom. Afterwards, presenters will provide some back-
ground on the flipped method, share their research findings from studies conducted in middle
and high school ELA classrooms, discuss the implications of these findings, and present their
suggested guidelines for taking an informed and critical approach to flipping the ELA classroom,
that will ideally lead to a sustainable approach going forward.

Pop-Up Makerspaces
Will Banks, ECU; Ashley Hutchinson, JH Rose High School;

Sometimes relevant projects, events, and affiliations are not capable of sustaining themselves
over long periods of time.“Pop-ups”fill the need for relevance in shorter increments of time, al-
lowing for greater flexibility for retailers, event planners, and groups. At JH Rose High School, Tar
River Writing Project teacher-consultants have developed Pop-Up Makerspaces to meet student
interests, allowing resources and expertise to shift in response to those interests and developing
a model for the high school Makerspace that may ultimately be more sustainable than a central-
ized, permanent space. In this session, we will share the planning and resources that are allowing
us to leverage both student interest and the maker movement into connected learning.
