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.
Proposal categories include:
Paper Presentations
Issues and Ideas Presentations
Panel/Symposium
Poster Presentations
Teacher workshops
To ensure a diverse and vibrant program, we are limiting each individual to two presentations and will prioritize submissions from new faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students.
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.
