The 2024 conference theme Reach new heights for students continues a path that started two years ago. In 2022, the conference theme Reimagine was an invitation to educators around the world to take what we learned from the pandemic and reimagine how we might change and improve possibilities for educators and students alike. We followed in 2023 with Evidence into Action, speaking to the power of evidence-based practices and how Learning Forward bridges research and implementation to improve results for each student. We looked at how we apply our learnings to best practices in classrooms, teams, buildings, systems, and regions. In 2024, in Aurora, Colorado, we continue this upward trajectory by taking reimagined possibilities and leveraging them with evidence-based practices to achieve our ultimate goal to Reach new heights for students.

The 2024 Call for Proposals closed at 11:59pm ET on January 31, 2024.
