We invite educators, administrators, and practitioners to submit proposals for the 2026 Texas Corequisite Conference. This conference will spotlight innovative practices, evidence-based strategies, and meaningful lessons learned that advance corequisite implementation and improve student success in college-level courses. Session proposals should offer practical insights, engage attendees in meaningful discussion, and contribute to shared learning across higher education.

Our conference theme is "Teach Local, Think Global: Expanding Student Horizons through Corequisite Education". We encourage our concurrent session presenters to incorporate this theme in their presentations, reflecting on the spirit of unity and progress within the corequisite space. 

Concurrent sessions should be 50 minutes long, with an additional 10 minutes allocated for questions. Suggested concurrent session themes and proposal areas of interest include (but are not limited to): 

  • College Connect Courses: Explore opportunities for integrating college connect courses that enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. 

  • College Readiness and Success Models Grant Recipients: Highlight successful models that have received grants, showcasing best practices and outcomes. 

  • Corequisite Support for English Language Learners (ELL): Share strategies for providing academic support alongside college-level courses to help students succeed in their academic journey. 

  • Corequisite Trends and Challenges: Assess the landscape of current corequisite courses with cross-functional groups, as state, system, and institutional levels work together to scale successfully.  

  • Innovations: Identify and present innovative approaches that can be implemented in corequisite courses to improve student success. 

  • Innovative Corequisites: Explore the use of AI/Technology, NCBOs, and developing CTE corequisite courses. 

  • Partnerships and Collaboration: Communicate the value of your program to your immediate community and within the region.  

  • Scaling Corequisites to Level 4: Discuss best practices for scaling corequisites, considering each stage of implementation.  

  • Second Chance Corequisite Courses: Share the growth areas and opportunities with these courses and the developmental work that allows them to complete their college-level requirements in a single semester.   

Proposals will be evaluated using the following criterion: relevance to conference theme, originality and contribution, clarity and quality, relevance to the audience, methodological rigor, impact and applicability, and strategies for participant engagement.  The presenter's knowledge and experience on the topic will also be considered. Notifications of accepted proposals will be made April 24, 2026.
