MACTE Members,
On behalf of the MACTE Executive Board, it is my pleasure to announce the call for proposals for the MACTE Spring 2021 Virtual Conference, March 8th and 9th, 2021. To accommodate more opportunities to engage, the sessions will be held in the afternoon from 12PM to 5PM.
The theme for the conference is RISE UP: Resilience, Inspiration, Social Justice, and Excellence. We are ready for a time of action. What lessons do we take away from our experiences in 2020? How are we talking about issues of social justice in our work and with our students? How do we engage in self-care to promote wellness? How are we employing technology to maximize learning?
Deans/unit leaders, assessment directors, field experience directors, and certification officers will have designated sessions that will provide opportunities for EPP faculty, staff, and PK-12 personnel to discuss issues in the field and share solutions.
Conference Proposals:
We invite teacher education faculty, graduate students, deans, unit leaders, and practitioners to submit proposals that feature research or practices that benefit teacher education in the state of Missouri and beyond. All proposals are welcome, even if they do not specifically address the theme.
We are encouraging interactive presentations as well as collaborative panel discussions, so consider reaching out to your colleagues from other institutions and your PK-12 partnership school districts. Please submit your conference proposal by completing the form linked below.
