The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) is pleased to announce that Ithaca College (NY) professors Linda Hanrahan and Elizabeth Bleicher will be speaking at the 2012 Annual Convention. Hanrahan (Education) and Bleicher (English) are presenting on "Igniting Student Interest: Teaching Creatively in an Era of Standards." Two Ithaca College Alumnae complete the panel: Melissa Blitzstein (English '08, M.A.T.

The session will be held from 12:30 PM to 1:45 PM on Friday, November 16, 2012. Each year, the NCTE Annual Convention draws thousands of K-12 teachers, college faculty, administrators, and other educational professionals from around the world.
