The 2012 Annual Meeting Planning Committee encourages formats that use multiple presenters, undergraduate and graduate students, classroom teachers, teacher educators at all levels, other school personnel, and policy makers.
Proposals are due June 15, 2011.
Thematic Sessions:
Various types of thematic sessions addressing the conference theme or other ATE interests are scheduled for February 13-15 only, unless otherwise noted. These sessions may include the application of research, position papers, descriptions of existing programs/practices, or innovation in teacher education. The Planning Committee is encouraging the submission of Multiple Paper Formats as one means of bolstering attendance at thematic sessions. Proposals of the following types are encouraged:
A. Multiple Paper Format: This type of thematic session provides an opportunity for authors to present a synopsis of their work. The planning committee will group two papers of a related topic or theme. Each paper will be given approximately 20-25 minutes to present, followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer session.
B. Single Paper Format: Single-paper presentations provide an opportunity for participants to share a synopsis of their work. The presenter typically allows 30-35 minutes to present followed by 5-10 minutes of discussion.
C. Roundtable Format: Roundtables are informal sessions during which a presenter is seated at a table to discuss works-in-progress that may not be ready for formal presentation. Tables are numbered to allow conference attendees to easily identify an individual presenter’s session. Each discussion lasts 40 minutes.
D. Research Reports: Research papers are presented in approximately 20-25 minute time segments. Two or more paper presentations are grouped by related topics or themes in one-hour sessions on February 13-15. A response is provided at the end of the session by a discussant. If a proposal is accepted the written paper is due to respective discussants by January 5, 2012.
E. Emerging Scholars Series: Graduate students and those who have graduated within the last two years are encouraged to apply to participate in ATE’s Emerging Scholars Series. This is a prestigious, highly competitive strand highlighting the work of scholars who are new to academia.
The purpose of the series is to foster a community of emerging scholars within ATE and to create a support network for recent graduates and soon to be graduates. While we strongly encourage research presentations, we will also consider other types of presentations such as conceptual analyses and program descriptions. Participants’ presentations will be grouped by topic and assigned an ATE Facilitator to coordinate and mentor during the session. Participants will also attend a reception that will allow them to engage with more experienced scholars in conversation around issues such as navigating the job market, thriving in the first two years, preparing articles for publication, or balancing teaching, research, and service.
F. Professional Clinics: Professional Clinics are 1 ½ hour sessions that are scheduled on Sunday, February 12, 2012 only. Professional Clinics allow the presenters to explore an issue or concept in more depth and in workshop-like sessions. Submitters should select the Professional Clinic option if interested in this option. Clinics are open to all registered conference attendees.
