CALL FOR PAPERS

This year with the SA Department for Education as our conference partner, and Adelaide as our host city, we will take the celebration and learning from last year’s 50th anniversary conference and take us further as we engage in Reimagining Education: A future beyond boundaries.

ACEL is pleased to open its call for papers for the 2024 ACEL national conference. We are committed to delivering an exceptional experience that promises to be intellectually stimulating, immersive, and thought-provoking.

At our upcoming conference, we're excited to explore a range of sub-themes that allow us to reimagine and consider a future without boundaries. Join us as we delve into these important topics and engage in meaningful discussions that will help us shape the future of education and leadership:

Reimagining educational leadership
Reimagining schooling
Reimagining our profession
Reimagining our future/planet.
