2024 was a banner year for proposal submissions for Learning Forward’s Annual Conference in Denver, with 830 proposals vying for 252 available spots. The conference team described the submissions as “competitive” and “high quality.”
Our selection process includes layers of proposal reviews, and each proposal is read by multiple reviewers. To make your proposal submission stand out, here are three tips to help you craft an effective application.
Learning Forward would like to thank the volunteers who spent hundreds of combined hours to carefully review and comment on the submissions. We are grateful to our applicants, a community of devoted, driven educational improvers who do some of the most important work every day — engage in professional learning to improve educational outcomes for each and every student.
Learning Forward is the only professional association devoted exclusively to those who work in educator professional development. We help our members plan, implement, and measure high-quality professional learning so they can achieve success with their systems, schools, and students.
