CEC 2024 for Pre-Service Teachers

“As a special education pre-service teacher, I walked away from the CEC conference with a plethora of resources I would not have gotten in my university classes and gave me ideas for new interventions and resources to use in my future classroom.”

There’s so much to learn and do at CEC 2024. We’re featuring over 300 sessions in a variety of formats focused on topics you need for your future class, including IEPs, classroom management, specially designed instruction, behavioral interventions, content-area access, and so much more.

In addition to the formal learning, you’ll also:

Meet the people who literally wrote your textbooks and ask them your questions.
Connect with other future teachers and make professional connections.
Find potential employers and graduate program opportunities in our Expo Hall.
Learn more about the field, special interest areas, and your career path.

We're hard at work on all of our convention programming. Check back for updates on convention workshops, general session speakers, and the full agenda of sessions, posters, and more!
