AACTE is Co-Hosting National Symposium for Educator Preparation, Policy, and Leadership

Registration is Open



AACTE is co-hosting the 2024 National Symposium for Educator Preparation, Policy, and Leadership. The symposium will bring together teachers, university/college faculty, education deans, teacher leaders, school district personnel and superintendents, state licensure and certification professionals, education leaders, and state and federal policymakers to identify and highlight effective and equitable strategies, resources, policies and practices to recruit, prepare, and retain an effective teacher workforce with a focus on teachers from historically marginalized communities.

Led by the National Center for Teacher Residencies in collaboration with AACTE, Deans for Impact, The Hunt Institute, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, Teacher-Powered Schools, this inaugural national event will be held April 17-19, 2024, at the Westin Michigan Avenue in Chicago.

The National Symposium will feature two prominent keynote speakers in education — longtime AACTE member and renowned educator Gloria Ladson-Billings and AACTE Dean in Residence Leslie T. Fenwick, Ph.D.—as well as practitioners, researchers, and experts from the field who will be leading workshops and sessions aligned with the event’s four strands: teacher leadership, educator preparation programs, district/school leaders, and policy. 

Early bird registration is $450 and will close on February 10, 2024. Seating is limited; register early to secure a spot.
