Curriculum

The ACPA25 Convention Team, Leadership Council, Entity Leadership, and International Office are committed to a Convention centering attendees’ experiences, committing to attendee wellbeing, focusing on skill and knowledge development, and advancing our collective work towards racial justice and decolonization. ACPA25 will take place in Long Beach, California, USA.

It is the hope of the ACPA25 Convention Planning Team that the experience of Convention will engage participants to understand, unpack, and celebrate the work we have done and the lessons that we have learned; to make plans and evolve thinking to transform the future; and to commit to making change, breaking down barriers, and centering racial justice and decolonization in our work.

As you think toward what you might propose, we encourage you to consider:

  • Modes for expressing your content and engaging with attendees in ways that shift beyond a slide show and/or static monologue
  • How your content will provide attendees with frameworks for developing their own action plans
  • Elements, topics, and learning outcomes that reenforce the conference tagline, “Take a breathe… begin again” 
  • The extent to which attendees will be provided with the tools to take action upon their return to campus
  • Relevance of your work to ACPA’s values including the Strategic Imperative for Racial Justice and Decolonization

To shape a high-quality learning experience, the #ACPA25 Program Team needs diverse program proposals about best practices and initiatives in higher education.
