Evaluation Criteria for Proposals
Regardless of role or session type, reviewers for the 2026 Convention will use this reviewer rubric to evaluate proposals.
General Guidelines for Authors of Proposals
- The proposal submission database opened April 12, 2025.
- By Friday, May 2, email CCCCevents@ncte.org to request a coach to assist you with your proposal. Submit a draft of your proposal first so the coach has something to review.
- Follow the proposal format.
- Be as specific and clear as possible about the focus and purpose of your proposal, and provide only the information requested. The volume of proposals to review makes supplemental material difficult to manage.
- Meet the June 2 deadline and submit electronically through the online program proposal system.
- Notify NCTE immediately (1-800-369-6283 or CCCCevents@ncte.org) of address changes.
- Expect official invitations to be sent in early September 2025 to those whose proposals have been accepted.
- Names appearing in the 2026 Convention Program will include those whose peer-reviewed proposals have been accepted and/or those who will be serving in a Documentarian role (and who have completed the required support module) and who have paid registrations.
Special Note for Proposal Submitters:
- Please note that when you submit a proposal draft, a confirmation email will be sent to the 1st person listed on the proposal submission. Please make sure you, the submitter, is listed first so you receive the email as it will include information on re-entering the proposal system so you can edit the proposal, if needed.
