Teacher Self-Care Conference Call for Workshop Proposals

Workshop Conference Call for Proposals

What would happen if you could attend a professional learning conference, where the focus is you as a teaching professional? What if you could hear from other educators and industry professionals how to address the needs of the “whole” teacher? What if you could spend a weekend hearing what you are doing right and how you can continue to expand your professional expertise?

If you are looking for all of the above things in professional learning then The Teacher Self-Care Conference is for you. We are looking for teachers and/or professionals who can "pour" into teachers under the theme, "Teaching is Not The End: Using Teaching to Expand Your Future".

Deadline to submit a proposal will be May 31st, 2017

Timeline for Decisions:

June 30th, 2017 - Emails sent out confirming if your workshop has been chosen.

July 15th, 2017- All presenter contracts must be signed.

Note: Please be sure to submit proposals that are tied to one of the seven strands. To see samples of our sell-out conference in Atlanta in March 2017, please click here.
