Keynote Speaker!   Mr. Mark Harrison, Florida’s 2026 Teacher of the Year.

 

The theme, “Innovate, Inspire, Impact”, invites educators and practitioners to explore how schools can foster innovative teaching practices, inspire learners, and create measurable impact in schools. We teach during a time when anything is possible! Our theme challenges educators to envision what is possible across early childhood, K-12, and higher education.

We invite all educators to submit facilitator-style session proposals and/or poster sessions that advance excellence in teaching and learning. We welcome interactive workshops, collaborative learning labs, and practitioner showcases focused on instructional excellence and educator growth. Proposals for presenting or poster sessions should emphasize engagement, reflection, and hands-on practice and support all educators, including teacher candidates and early-career professionals.

Priority strands include:

• Student Engagement and Classroom Management
• Literacy
• Educational Technology and/or AI use in the classroom
• Students with Exceptionalities/ESE
• Testing and Benchmarks
