KATE Open Writes are open to all ELA teachers in the state of Kansas. You do not have to be a KATE member to attend (we will, however, highly encourage you to join!).

We are in search of authentic and insightful contributions that showcase what it is like to teach with today’s educational challenges. Specifically, we welcome:
