Let Your Voice Be Heard-Call for Resolutions(California Association of Teachers of English)Each year at the business meeting held at CATE's annual conference the CATE Board of Directors takes positions on issues important to teachers of language arts.

CATE has taken positions for lower class size, authentic assessment and more respect for teachers as professionals. CATE has also taken strong positions against restrictive curriculum policies, censorship and test abuse. CATE invites you to submit a resolution or an issue to the CATE Resolutions Committee. Follow the format below or see the CATE website for resolutions from years past. E-mail to Kathleen Cecil at kathleencecil@hotmail.com
