Opportunities

Join the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics for the 2026 Spring Conference, March 16-18, in New Orleans.

The conference theme draws on the concept of “joie de vivre” (joy of living) to challenge mathematics educators to reimagine their instructional practices, content, assessment, and technology in ways that spark freedom and exuberance in mathematics teaching, learning, and understanding. With the vibrant city of New Orleans as a backdrop—a place shaped by cultural fusion, resilience, and creative expression—educators are invited to come together much like a jazz ensemble, to listen, experiment, and build a new mathematical harmony.

Mathematics for a Changing World: Belonging, Learning, and Leading is a defining gathering for mathematics educators—where the future of teaching and learning is being written while making an impact in classrooms today. Classroom teachers, school leaders, and innovators will come together to share practices that elevate student voice, harness the power of technology with care, and strengthen teaching for every learner. Just as importantly, the conference is committed to supporting the joy, purpose, and well-being of teachers, ensuring they are sustained as they do this vital work. Join us in shaping the conversations that are redefining mathematics now and into the future.

CSTA 2026 is your all-access pass to experience the rhythm and soul of computer science education! Join us in New Orleans, where the city’s electric energy, rich culture, and signature laissez les bons temps rouler spirit create the perfect backdrop for you to connect, learn, and celebrate with your fellow K–12 CS educators. Whether you’re marching in step with affinity groups, joining the parade of local chapters, or exploring content-based meetups, you’ll find your groove. Don’t miss your chance to stroll through the lively Exhibit Hall, meet our incredible partners, and discover new ways to stay in tune with CSTA all year long.

We are thrilled to announce the second Data Science Education K-12: Research to Practice Conference. Through collaborative sessions, innovative formats, and a supportive community, this conference offers a dynamic atmosphere for educators, researchers, curriculum developers, and school leaders to exchange ideas and co-create the future of data literacy and data science education for K-12 learners.

If you are an educator, researcher, content and/or tool developer, school leader, or policymaker excited to share ideas, learn from colleagues, and jointly pave the way towards robust data science education and data literacy opportunities for K-12 learners, then this conference is for you!

We are particularly interested in proposals from classroom teachers who are already using data science approaches and data literacy strategies with their students.

Together with 1,000 CS educators from across the globe, you’ll enjoy more engaging connections and focused learning in a city known for its celebration, hospitality, and sense of community. Don’t miss your chance to connect with fellow CS educators, allies, and our CSTA partners while soaking in the energy of the Big Easy.
