The Arizona English Teachers Association is excited to have Bill Konigsberg as our keynote speaker for the 2019 AETA Conference. This year, Bill will receive the inaugural Konigsberg Award from the Assembly on Literature for Adolescents of the National Council of Teachers of English (ALAN) which will be presented annually to an individual who has acted in selfless advocacy of marginalized youth using young adult literature. Bill’s writing and advocacy supports and honors students who are marginalized in our society and in our schools. Inspired by Bill’s work, AETA invites you to consider how the English classroom can be a space for all students to be supported and honored through our content and curriculum.
