January 6-9, 2027, Providence, Rhode Island

The ASTE Annual Meeting takes place in January of each year and provides an opportunity for our membership to engage with current research, policy, and practice and to promote improvements in science teacher education.

We are excited to announce the Call for Proposals for the 2027 ASTE Annual Conference: Asset-Based and Community-Driven Science Teacher Education

This year, we invite science teacher educators, researchers, and K-12 teacher leaders to submit proposals to be identified as Feature Projects. We are seeking work that moves away from "deficit" models—which focus on what students lack—and instead centers Asset-Based Orientations. We want to highlight projects that recognize the cultural, linguistic, and experiential resources of communities as the primary drivers of scientific inquiry and leadership. If your project aligns with this year’s conference theme and you would like to have it considered for a Feature Project, you will indicate so at proposal submission.
