AATC 2026 Call for Proposals and Submission Portal
Thank you for your interest in attending AATC 2026! Our call for proposals ended March 11th, 2026, and proposal decisions have been sent to all first authors.
Questions? Please contact the 2026 program chair, Amanda Bucher, at aatcconference@gmail.com. We can’t wait to see everyone in Scottsdale, Arizona in October!
This year’s theme, Cultivating Care: Finding Meaning, Wholeness, and Courage in Education, will invite teachers, scholars, and education leaders to pause and reflect on the deeper purposes of their work. Together, we will explore how care, courage, and reflection can restore meaning and foster both personal and professional wholeness. Through dialogue, research, stories, and shared practice, we seek to reimagine education, not only as a system of instruction, but as a human endeavor rooted in connection, love, compassion, and courage.
Please be sure to save a copy of your proposal for your records. We recommend that you copy and paste from a word processing application into the proposal form. The program chairs will not be able to provide this information once you have submitted.
