href=\"https:\/\/ncte.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCTE<\/a>) has long been a pillar of connection and professional learning for teachers. Its accessibility and inclusivity allow for many teachers, including SOU faculty and teachers from southern Oregon, to have a say and get involved. This was especially evident during this year\u2019s NCTE National Convention (held in Anaheim, CA from November 17-20), where SOU faculty members and local high school teachers presented a panel discussion titled &#8220;From Access to Equity: Lighting a Path to Support Diverse Students&#8217; Success in Advanced High School English Classes.&#8221; On top of this, two SOU graduate students from the <a href=\"\/academics\/education\/programs\/master-arts-teaching-mat\/\">Master\u2019s in Teaching (MAT)<\/a> program presented their original research at the informative session &#8220;The Future is Now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the background of the &#8220;From Access to Equity\u2026&#8221; panel, SOU English professor and panel co-creator Dr. Merrilyne Lundahl explains that while dual-enrollment programs (in which students receive college credit for high school classes) offer many benefits, there are significant shortcomings. Namely, &#8220;lots of minoritized or impoverished students are left out of these opportunities so they don&#8217;t get the [dual-enrollment] benefits.&#8221; This inequity is something that Merrilyne and other local English teachers within the Advanced Southern Credit network (ASC), including Camille Schuler, Kelly Fogg-Johnson, and Teresa Connelly, are working to address.<\/p>\n<p>At Merrilyne&#8217;s invitation, the three high school teachers had previously presented their work at a Cesar Chavez Leadership Conference (CCLC) on the SOU campus. And in 2020, they presented again at an Equity Summit sponsored by the southern Oregon Education Service District. Merrilyne and English Program chair Margaret Perrow strongly believed that the extraordinary work of these three teachers deserved a larger audience, so they proposed a panel for the 2022 NCTE convention.

She says that she has already included acculturation theory into her classes, the topic that Camille presented on. On this topic of teamwork and community, Kelly says that she &#8220;really enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with and learn from teachers from across the valley&#8221; when working on the panel presentation.

According to Nigel, a student&#8217;s capstone research\/project ought to be able to &#8220;add something to the national conversation on English teaching.&#8221; Indeed, Margaret recalls Katrin&#8217;s and Julie&#8217;s capstone projects as being exemplary, &#8220;building on their passions and successes as undergraduates, and orienting them to their &#8216;next steps&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Though Katrin&#8217;s capstone project began as an original Hamlet script in which the titular character was split into two roles, they recall how the project grew into much more. Though they began writing their script in high school, it remained unfinished for years because of the inaccessibility of research in a secondary school setting. Katrin\u2019s epiphany was reinforced by observations they had as a tutor at SOU\u2019s Writing Center. In particular, they noticed how many college students experience difficulty transitioning from high school research practices to researching at the collegiate level. Ultimately, Katrin &#8220;came to realize just how much the access [they] have to research as a college student would have meant to [them] as a high schooler.&#8221; Katrin\u2019s capstone ended up bringing to light the importance of accessible research for middle and high school students, and that is what they ended up presenting on for NCTE, a topic they were &#8220;excited&#8221; to dive into.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lbcvt8ci-9ab8b1a6225d3bc547273710d46a7f02\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lbcvt8ci-9ab8b1a6225d3bc547273710d46a7f02 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lbcvt8ci-9ab8b1a6225d3bc547273710d46a7f02 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lbcvt8ci-9ab8b1a6225d3bc547273710d46a7f02 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/12\/SOU-Dr-Nigel-Waterton-Katrin-Jeome-Together-NCTE-Convention.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/12\/SOU-Dr-Nigel-Waterton-Katrin-Jeome-Together-NCTE-Convention-300x129.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/12\/SOU-Dr-Nigel-Waterton-Katrin-Jeome-Together-NCTE-Convention-1030x441.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/12\/SOU-Dr-Nigel-Waterton-Katrin-Jeome-Together-NCTE-Convention-768x329.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/12\/SOU-Dr-Nigel-Waterton-Katrin-Jeome-Together-NCTE-Convention-705x302.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/12\/SOU-Dr-Nigel-Waterton-Katrin-Jeome-Together-NCTE-Convention.jpg\" height=\"514\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/12\/SOU-Dr-Nigel-Waterton-Katrin-Jeome-Together-NCTE-Convention.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/12\/SOU-Dr-Nigel-Waterton-Katrin-Jeome-Together-NCTE-Convention-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/12\/SOU-Dr-Nigel-Waterton-Katrin-Jeome-Together-NCTE-Convention-1030x441.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/12\/SOU-Dr-Nigel-Waterton-Katrin-Jeome-Together-NCTE-Convention-768x329.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/12\/SOU-Dr-Nigel-Waterton-Katrin-Jeome-Together-NCTE-Convention-705x302.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-82951 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-82951 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"SOU Dr. Nigel Waterton Katrin Jeome Together NCTE Convention\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lbcvtyiq-9e628e04157d61f86fbb8c775e4b5fa9\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lbcvtyiq-9e628e04157d61f86fbb8c775e4b5fa9 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lbcvtyiq-9e628e04157d61f86fbb8c775e4b5fa9 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured above: Dr. Nigel Waterton and Katrin Jeome together at the NCTE convention.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lbcvv594-59d5e0b5c77078f91ebf98249050cf7b\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lbcvv594-59d5e0b5c77078f91ebf98249050cf7b .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lbcvv594-59d5e0b5c77078f91ebf98249050cf7b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Meanwhile, Julie&#8217;s capstone centered around teaching five Young Adult (YA) novels through a feminist lens, via small classroom book groups. Julie recalls how most of her assigned readings in high school were written about white, male protagonists; she not only wants to lend some diversity to her students&#8217; reading, but also instill a sense of empathy within them towards different people and backgrounds. Julie mentions how this is especially important to them given the current political climate. Though she unfortunately got the flu before the NCTE convention and could not travel to Anaheim, she instead recorded her presentation ahead of time. Julie describes this process as a &#8220;nerve-wracking,&#8221; but ultimately fun experience, and hopes to be invited back to another year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lbcvwigb-f98f9bc8a31a6b3d27cf39322b8ef7bd\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lbcvwigb-f98f9bc8a31a6b3d27cf39322b8ef7bd .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lbcvwigb-f98f9bc8a31a6b3d27cf39322b8ef7bd '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em><span class=\"amaze-ultra madrone\">&#8220;Our students are making original, meaningful contributions that deserve to be showcased regionally and nationally!&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2013 Dr. Margaret Perrow<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lbcvxj7y-cc270ee4811b348002228022b416f5a1\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lbcvxj7y-cc270ee4811b348002228022b416f5a1 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lbcvxj7y-cc270ee4811b348002228022b416f5a1 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Both Margaret and Nigel highlighted how important it is for students to be able to present their impressive work to an audience of English-teaching colleagues.

Margaret echoes this sentiment, asserting that the sooner a student can begin collaborating with other educators at conferences like NCTE, &#8220;the more enriched [their] own thinking will be and the greater impact [their] voice will have on [their] colleagues&#8217; practice.&#8221; If you are a student wishing you had gotten to participate in the NCTE \u201cThe Future is Now\u201d session, don\u2019t fear!
