Submit a Proposal for PSAE's Annual Arts Integration Conference!

PSAE's Peer-to-Peer approach to professional development uses expertise of real educators in the classroom and in leadership positions to showcase best practices in arts integrated education, as well as arts discipline education, that make the Palmetto State shine. 
PSAE’s Conference offers both large group sessions and small, breakout sessions during the two-day conference. Breakout sessions are usually 50 minutes in length, and are led by educators and community arts leaders who lend their expertise to attendees. Please use this form to submit your idea of a proposal to be considered for the 2026 Conference agenda!



​​PSAE’s Conference offers several professional development tracks. Each proposal will be organized into one of the following:
  • Arts Integration – Using the Kennedy Center’s definition, students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form connected to another subject area. Sessions provide guidance through demonstration, theory, or discussion for teachers and education professionals.
  • Arts Education – Focuses on teaching and learning in the visual and performing arts. Sessions explore classroom techniques, approaches to arts concepts, and strategies for arts learning.
  • STEAM Education – Integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics to guide student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. Sessions demonstrate practical applications for educators.
  • Student Teachers – College and university students in education or arts programs can attend. Sessions focus on teaching practice, interview skills, and networking with school hiring managers.
  • Leadership – For principals, district arts coordinators, and school leaders. Sessions cover leading arts programs, collaborating with partners, and best practices in administration.
  • Instruction & Curriculum – For instructional coaches and curriculum developers. Sessions explore designing arts-rich curricula, coaching strategies, and aligning arts integration with academic goals.
Proposals are for 50-minute breakout sessions. This is not a paid opportunity, but a chance to share your expertise with colleagues. Proposals will be reviewed by a team of experts, and selected presenters will be notified in the summer.

The Deadline to Submit Proposals has passed. Please email [email protected] if you'd like the planning team to consider a proposal.

We look forward to reviewing your proposals!
