Abstract | The author began teaching in 1959, so he has been in the profession for half of the National Council of Teachers of English's (NCTE) first 100 years. In this article, the author details the work of NCTE in his lifetime and forecasts needs for the second century. For the author, NCTE means: celebration of successes and collegiality; conversations about recurring problems; and an open forum for learning about new directions and negotiating critical issues. What he hopes the NCTE centennial engenders is a movement to redefine their profession in light of current national and global problems, i.e., preparing for literate citizenship in this era. What he would hope is that NCTE would begin its second century with a Civic Literacy Union. If he were to win the lottery tomorrow and have millions of dollars to give away, he would endow a foundation to engage the profession in defining civic literacy, in adapting curricula to achieve it, and in implementing reforms.
