Dear colleagues!

Please consider joining us at the joint Arkansas Association of Teacher Educators (ArATE) and Southeast Regional Association of Teacher Educators (SRATE) Annual Conference, to be held October 14-16, 2026, at the University of Arkansas Union in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

This three-day conference will feature a variety of formal and informal presentation formats designed to engage teacher educators, P-12 professionals, higher education faculty, teacher candidates, graduate/undergraduate students, and community educators in meaningful dialogue about issues that matter in education. In addition to conference sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a special excursion to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, where education, creativity, and community intersect in inspiring ways.

We invite you to share your expertise, experiences, and innovations by submitting a proposal to present. A detailed Call for Proposals can be found here.
