About

The Assembly for the Teaching of English Grammar (ATEG), is a national organization dedicated to promoting effective and inclusive grammar instruction at all levels of education. We are an assembly of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), and we host our own annual conference. If you are a teacher, literacy coach, or teacher-educator, we welcome you to attend our conference, become a member, and follow us on Facebook. ATEG is a thoughtful, supportive community of English and language arts educators, and we look forward to celebrating and teaching grammar with you.
