ASCD Annual Conference Presenter Proposals

The Annual Conference of ASCD, an international education association, will be held in San Antonio, Texas, March 6-8, 2010. SELNET, the Service-Learning Network of ASCD, is calling on all service-learning practitioners, researchers, and advocates to submit proposals for presentations. You may submit proposals for concurrent sessions or research sessions. Session length options are 1 hour, 1-1/2 hours, or 2 hours. Proposals should address current research, curriculum, and/or leadership development in preK-16 education. Proposals in Teacher Education are encouraged. You will find complete information about submitting a proposal at the link below. If you hesitate to submit because the process appears complicated or because you haven’t submitted a proposal before, email Elizabeth for assistance with proposal development and submission. For example, it may be important to submit a proposal that allows enough breadth to focus your presentation on new experiences and learning between now and next March. Once again, email us with any questions you have or any assistance that you need. Generally, proposal submission takes less than an hour from concept to completion. If you are not an individual member of ASCD, check your institution to determine if there is an institutional membership. You may be able to get discounts for registration when the time comes. All submitted presenters must register for the conference.

Proposals are DUE MAY 1 and must be submitted on-line. The link below will guide you to all information necessary for submitting your proposal. Each proposal must have a main facilitator (who will be the contact for the conference committee) and may have up to three additional facilitators listed in the program. DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL as the NETWORK FORUM unless you contact Elizabeth first. Please email Elizabeth when you submit a proposal so we can track all service-learning submissions. We look forward to hearing from you and to having great representation from the field at the 2010 Annual ASCD Conference in San Antonio.
