Reclaiming Teaching in an Era of Disruption: Join Our Next Inquiry Initiative
 
Colleagues,
We’re excited to invite teacher educators to be part of something meaningful this summer in Seattle.
 
A new 3-year collaborative inquiry initiative Reclaiming Teaching in an Era of Disruption, will bring together a community of educators committed to examining how we can reclaim, redefine, and sustain the core purpose of teaching in times of rapid change and increasing complexity.
 
Now entering our fourth cohort, this initiative will be guided by a dynamic team of experienced leaders: Nathan Blom, Mark Diacopoulos, and Jamia Richmond. Together, they will facilitate a collaborative space for deep inquiry, critical dialogue, and actionable scholarship.
 
Please visit the ATE website (ATE Inquiry Initiative 2026 New Cohort) for full details and to apply. Applications will be due May 18.
 
While you're there . . .
 
. . . we also encourage you to submit a proposal for the ATE 2026 Summer Conference, taking place July 18–21, 2026 in Seattle. The proposal deadline has been extended to Monday. April 27th.
 
This year’s theme Building Bridges: Connecting Passion, Pedagogy, and Purpose, invites us to reflect on how we connect what we love, how we teach, and why it matters. The conference will feature inspiring speakers, engaging pre-conference workshops, and even a memorable cruise on Puget Sound.
 
Come to present. Come to connect. Come to be renewed.
Join colleagues from across the field as we build bridges—together.


Hope to see you there!
