Check out these infographics with tons of submission tips for writing engaging titles and descriptions, and make sure to follow these suggestions for a better shot at success.

  • TCEA promotes equity, diversity, and inclusion. Make your session relatable and accessible to out-of-state and international attendees of backgrounds and cultures.
  • Focus on results and outcomes. Don’t just tell the “what.” Explain what attendees will be able to do and why it matters.
  • Take budgets into consideration. Sessions highlighting free or inexpensive software/resources are more likely to be selected.
  • Set realistic expectations. What makes your session different from the rest? Be clear about what attendees will do during the session and the expected benefits.
  • Describe the resources. Tell your audience what tangible tools they will leave with to reassure them it won’t just be content overload.
  • Include any special considerations. Need special considerations like students, music, unique activities, specific set up, or special devices/software? Let us know.
