2010 WAESOL Conference Call for Proposals (Closed)
The 2010 WAESOL Conference is scheduled for Saturday, October 23, 2010. The conference committee invites you to submit a proposal. This year's theme is Inspiring Journeys to Success.
Proposals must be submitted no later than June 30, 2010. Remember that the proposal submission is only a summary of what you will present in October. Once accepted, you will still have adequate time to put together your actual presentation.
For your information, WAESOL may publish sample proposal summaries in future editions of the WAESOL World Quarterly. Please indicate on the form below if this is NOT acceptable.
Even if your proposal is accepted, you must still register for the conference and pay the conference fee which is slightly discounted for presenters.
Below are the interest sections to consider for your proposal.
Please carefully complete the form below. If accepted, information submitted below will appear in the conference program exactly as it is written on this proposal form.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
TYPES OF SESSIONS
Demonstration (45 minutes)
A demonstration is used for showing rather than telling about a technique. Presenter's statement of theory should take no longer than five minutes. The summary should include a brief statement of the central purpose and description of the demonstration.
Panel (45 minutes)
A panel provides both formal presentation and participant discussion. Panels generally have 10-15 minute presentations by panel members under the guidance of a chairperson who moderates the discussion period and summarizes the session at its conclusion. The organizer should submit a summary outlining the topic and objectives.
Paper (45 minutes)
Papers should be based on current research and theory. They should also provide a practical benefit to the audience.
NEW THIS YEAR: Mini sessions (20 minutes)
If you have a great teaching idea you'd like to share, but you do not need 45 minutes to do so, we encourage you to submit a proposal for a 20 minute mini session. These informal sessions are designed to offer participants a brief description of an idea or activity and the resources needed to take this idea and implement it in their own classrooms.
Poster Session (45 minutes)
A poster session display allows for informal discussion between the participants and the presenter(s) during the time the exhibit is on display. The exhibit is presented on a large display board, which includes a title, the name(s)/affiliation(s) of the presenter(s), and a brief text with clearly labeled photos, drawings, graphs or charts. 4' x 8' max
All classrooms for presentations at Highline Community College are technology equipped with an Internet enabled PC desktop computer a projector, a document camera (or an overhead projector) and a blackboard or whiteboard. Presenters can bring their presentation on a CD or USB stick to use on the classroom computer. There is public internet access available for personal laptops. (Limited tech support is available the day of the conference.)
Notification of acceptance will be made via e-mail by August 1, 2010.
