2024 ATPE Summit Call for Proposals Now Open!
Date Posted: 12/14/2023
We are excited to announce the 2024 ATPE Summit Call for Proposals is now open! The 2024 ATPE Summit will take place July 8–10 at the Sheraton Dallas, and the Summit Programming Committee is seeking member submissions for innovative and engaging professional development sessions on the topics of most interest to Texas educators. The submission deadline is Feb. 16, 2024.
What kind of session proposals should be submitted?
We are looking for proposals for one-hour continuing professional education (CPE) sessions (inclusive of any Q&A time). Sessions may be geared toward any member of the public education community, with particular focus on classroom teachers of all grade levels and paraprofessionals. You may submit a proposal on any topic of interest to you, but the Summit Programming Committee—made up of nine members from across the state—is particularly interested in sessions covering the following topics:
All submitted sessions will be reviewed by the Summit Programming Committee, and selected presenters will be notified by mid-March. ATPE will waive the summit registration fee ($225) for selected presenters; however, the speaker assumes all other financial costs including hotel, meals, and travel expenses. Professional learning breakouts will take place between 8:30–11 a.m. Wednesday, July 10, at the Sheraton Dallas.
If you have any questions, please contact summit@atpe.org.
