Abstract

In this ELATE position statement, issued on November 21, 2024, the authors contextualize GenAI as an issue of literacy, offering specific considerations for incorporating, addressing, and exploring this technology in ELA teacher education. More broadly, the authors encourage us to question how teacher education can navigate these increasingly complex technologies and the attendant literacies while responding to the political implications of both.
