REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS: Submission Portal Closed

Thank you for your interest in presenting at the MassCUE Fall Conference. The submission portal is now closed.

In continuing with MassCUE's theme, MassCUE4ALL, this year's conference theme is MassCUE4All: Going Beyond the Surface. When thinking about equity, we often begin with surface-level information; definitions, motivations, and basic examples. At MassCUE, we believe it’s time to push beyond this introductory literacy and to dive into the heart of equity topics. As such, all of our strands will include the word "beyond" as a reminder of our goal to push past the comfortable and into the difficult conversations, as that is where true learning begins! In our efforts to uplift the voices of educators, MassCUE is focusing our RFP on educators in schools. Deadline to submit: July 19, 2024
