Call for Papers

Educational leaders have the privilege of setting the moral purpose, expectations, culture, as well as learning and teaching practices within their organisations. The 2019 ACEL National Conference in Sydney will provide a platform for international and national speakers to share their expertise in the area of “Vision and Voice”.

The structure of the program at the 2019 ACEL’s National Conference has been redesigned to encourage a greater level of engagement and interaction. The program will now include interactive expert sessions, special interest group symposium workshops as well as concurrent sessions around the two broad streams, each further split up into two sub-themes as follows:

  1. Stream 1 Vision – leading the future
    1.1.1. Learning spaces – from architecture to pedagogy
    1.1.2. Curiosity & innovation
  2. Stream 2 Voice – engagement within and without
    2.1.1. Transforming practice through understanding context
    2.1.2. Empowerment & agency.

Presentations will address research, policy and practice from a system, school or classroom perspective.

If you are interested in submitting an abstract for the concurrent sessions along these themes, apply using the form below.

Join us in October and be part of setting the future learning agenda.
