This year’s conference theme invites educational researchers, scholars, and practitioners to present work on educational recovery from the pandemic, innovation and ways to accelerate learning, challenges to systemic barriers and ingrained inequalities, and ways researchers and practitioners are co-constructing and designing solutions to make educational opportunities more equitable. 

We specifically encourage research-practice partnerships between universities, school districts, state department of education, and other organizations to present their learnings on moving education forward during this time. NCARE welcomes researchers, evaluators, and practitioners who use qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methodologies.

We invite proposals for scholarly projects from PK-20 educators and researchers on educational research topics that align with our conference theme,"Research, Remedy, and Repair: Toward a Just Education Renewal”. Proposals are also open for professional development workshops.

Proposals on work in progress should be submitted for the poster session or short paper session. To be considered for paper presentations, research projects must be completed at the time of submission and you will designate your choice of presentation format when you submit. All proposals will be reviewed by at least two referees, using the criteria of quality, originality, and significance. Guidelines for each type of proposal are on the call for proposals page.
