2026 Call for Proposals Is Now Open!
Submit By April 15, 2026

Thank you for your interest in submitting a workshop OR short course proposal for the upcoming California Science Education Conference.

NOTE: EXHIBITOR PARTNER PROPOSALS ARE SEPARATE FROM THIS PROCESS AND WILL OPEN IN EARLY MAY.

We are currently seeking workshops or short courses that address a variety of learning and addresses the diverse needs of California's student population and our community, which varies by grade band, role in implementation (including classroom teachers, district-level coaches or TOSAs, informal science educators, preservice teachers, and higher-ed faculty) and level of implementation.

Some of our strands this year will focus on:

• Cross Curricular Integration
• Elementary Instruction
• Outdoor Learning and Environmental Literacy
• Social Justice, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

There will be two different proposal options for you to choose from:

• 75-minute workshop
• Short Course (3 hours)

Submitting a proposal does not guarantee that you will be selected as a presenter. Your proposal will be reviewed by two members of the CASE Board of Directors and Conference Committee. Proposals will be selected for presentation based on reviewer scores and the content needs of the conference.

Please note: California Science Education Conference proposal review process is completed blind and by a peer group of educators. Please see the Proposal Scoring Rubric for additional details.

CASE will be issuing notices regarding proposal status (accepted or declined) in May. If you will not have access to the email account associated with your CASE log-in, please contact our office to update your email address.

Questions should be directed to Rachel Myers, Conference Coordinator via email at rachel@cascience.org.
