Summer Webinar Series

We are launching our Summer Webinar Series to help participants refine ideas, find collaborative partners across institutions, and develop competitive 2-page abstracts for the upcoming conference. As a valued past contributor, we would appreciate it if you would forward this invitation to colleagues and students who could bring new perspectives to our network.

Please save the dates and register for our two live collaborative sessions:

• Webinar 1: Idea Ideation & Partnership Matching – Tuesday, June 9th at 1:00 PM EST

• Webinar 2: Drafting & Peer Feedback – Tuesday, June 23rd at 1:00 PM EST

To facilitate continuous collaboration outside of the live calls, please join our "2026 Learner Centered Teaching Conference" Google Classroom. Within the Classroom, we have launched dedicated discussion boards for partnership matching and abstract development across five core categories:

• Affective Methods & Learner Identity: Focuses on the emotional dimensions of learning and fostering inclusive excellence.

• Instructional Design: Centered on high-rigor scaffolding and moving students from passive listeners to active creators.

• Policy & Institutional Change: Aimed at big-picture educational landscapes, university transitions, and cross-disciplinary initiatives.

• Creativity & Design Thinking: Explores curriculum development, world-building in education, and "fail-forward" mentalities.

• Digital Frontiers & Educational Tech: Bridges technical innovation with classroom instruction to solve real-world problems.
