Events - Fall Conference 2025 - Call for Proposals

Call for Proposals

We invite you to submit a workshop proposal to present at the 2025 Challenge Success Conference at Stanford, CA on September 11-12th.

Workshops, allocated for 75 minutes*, serve as a platform to share research-based, equity-centered strategies that improve K-12 student well-being, belonging, and engagement. These workshops are interactive; showcasing artifacts and processes that align with Challenge Success guiding principles and key strengths. The workshops seek to expand the capacity and knowledge of audiences to positive, transformational student outcomes in their communities.

*Select workshop presenters will be invited to present twice. Presenters will be responsible for their own travel and expenses.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We strive to create an engaging environment for our attendees. All accepted presenters will be required to participate in a workshop tuning session and a 1:1 meeting with Challenge Success staff to support logistics and content development.
Accepted presenters will receive free registration for up to two facilitators. If you are part of a 2024-2025 Challenge Success school team, your team will receive two additional registrations to the conference.

All proposals are due no later than March 26th, 2025. Accepted submissions will be announced before the end of May, 2025.
