World Assembly 2026
The 66th ICET World Assembly in 2026 will be hosted by the Australian Catholic University in Melbourne, Australia. Addressing the global uncertainty facing teaching as a profession in times of geopolitical, environmental, and social justice and technological challenges, WA 66 will convene a timely scholarly conversation about sustaining and reimagining the profession in these challenging times, and invites researchers from around the globe to convene for this purpose.
WA 66 will animate research concerning the democratic purposes of education and teaching; teacher and school leader recruitment and retention; governmental intervention in the content and substance of teacher education and workload concerns; teacher knowledge in colonised contexts; resourcing for teacher professional learning; and teacher and school leader wellbeing. It aims to provide a space for sharing research and experiences for scholars at all career stages, and will enable shared dialogue and opportunities to meet and engage with colleagues from diverse contexts.
