The EARCOS Teacher Conference will be held in Bangkok 18 – 20 March 2027. The theme is ‘Teaching—From the Heart’ and the areas that will be the focus of the conference are: Science, Math, Social Studies/Humanities, Global Issues/Global Citizenship, Service Learning, STEM, General Education.
NIS is able to put forward two presentations to be delivered at the conference (note: EARCOS has the final decision on all presentations). Presentations can be done individually or as a pair. NIS covers conference registration for staff that are chosen to present (flights and accommodation are not covered but can be paid with your PL fund).
If you are interested in applying to present, we will be holding application pitches Week 9 on Monday and/or Thursday (12pm – 1pm) in Room B160.
Applicants will need to present a short (3 – 5 minute) pitch of their presentation topic, including why it is relevant for the conference and how it will provide participants with new learning in emerging trends and/or possibilities for practice within schools; and a sample activity that they would plan on including in their presentation (5 – 7 minutes). Pitches should be 10 minutes total, and will be assessed against the EARCOS Conference Session Design and Presentation Criteria.
If you would like to apply to present, please sign up with this form. If you have any questions in the meantime, please come speak to me or send me an email.
If you would like to apply to attend (and not present) as part of your PLD, please through the PLHUB as normal.
