Call for Presentations: CCLE XXVI

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Calling all Lutheran educators, pastors, administrators, and homeschoolers! The Consortium for Classical Lutheran Education (CCLE) is planning its 26th summer conference, "Foundations of Faith and Freedom," to be held at Concordia University Chicago on July 14 to 17, 2026.

The CCLE invites presentation proposals for consideration. Speaking opportunities are limited, so please submit your proposal by December 31, 2025. Presentations do not necessarily need to relate directly to this year’s theme, but should fit under one or more of the following headings:

• Teaching the faith

• Teaching the classical liberal arts

• Administration

• Faculty formation

• Recruitment and marketing

• Athletics

• Classical Lutheran leadership in education

• Classroom management

• Culture

• Curriculum

• Beauty and aesthetics of a classical Lutheran school

• Classical pedagogy

• Classical Lutheran homeschooling

• Higher education

• The history of classical Lutheran education

  
  

The conference committee encourages proposals for presentations that will demonstrate strong oratory skills and a deep understanding of the topic. Please submit presentation proposals to Anna Martin at executive.director@ccle.org by December 31, 2025. A short synopsis of your talk (200-300 words) and a brief bio should be included. Conference registration for selected speakers will be complimentary.

God be praised for the furtherance of classical Lutheran education!

In Christ, Anna Martin Executive Director The Consortium for Classical Lutheran Education
