Our Mission:

The Ohio Council of Teachers of English Language Arts (OCTELA) is a nationally recognized, non-profit organization that serves English language arts educators in the classroom and the extended education community.

OCTELA’s goals are:

  • to promote best practice and teacher leadership,
  • to advocate for fair and appropriate education policy,
  • and to provide resources and quality professional development that support diverse literacies, classrooms, and students.  

It is our hope to bring Ohio’s English language arts educators together to build friendships, share ideas, and celebrate teaching and learning.

We ask that all those who apply for membership are pre-service, current, or retired educators.
