Call for Proposals
We are pleased to announce the call for proposals for the International SIM Conference for SIM Professional Developers. The deadline for proposal submission is March 15, 2011. Submit your proposal by e-mailing Mona Tipton at monatipton@ku.edu.
To save trees and to aid in distribution, electronic handouts will be required of all presenters. Handouts will be posted online for our participants to download in advance.
Selected presenters will be notified by April 1, 2011. By submitting a proposal, presenters are providing consent for themselves and all other presenters on the proposal to be videotaped. Your submission of a proposal constitutes a commitment by all individuals participating in the presentation to register for the conference if the proposal is accepted. Registration must be received by July 1, 2011.
Types of Proposals
A: “Tips, Tools, and Practical Ideas” Enlightening Rounds: 10-minute presentations relevant to professional development in Content Enhancement, Learning Strategies, Instructional Coaching, Technology, or Preservice Education. Speakers will take turns presenting to the audience. Presentations should focus on specific tips, tools, and practical implementation ideas. Proposals should include the title of the presentation and a short summary of the presentation (up to 75 words), which should include a description of the subject, settings in which it may be used, and evidence of results, if available. An LCD projector, chart paper, and pens will be provided.
B: 10-Minute Book Reports: Presenters will report on books selected by the Center and relevant to SIM professional development work. The purpose is to whet the audience’s appetite to read the book. Presenters will have 10 minutes to present key points in whatever manner they deem appropriate. An LCD projector, chart paper, and pens will be provided. Each presenter will create a bookmark-handout summarizing key points using a template provided by KUCRL.
C: Mini Pearls: 20-minute presentations relevant to professional development in Content Enhancement, Learning Strategies, Instructional Coaching, Technology, or Preservice Education. Proposals should include the title of the presentation and a short summary of the presentation (up to 75 words). This summary should include a description of the subject of the presentation, including any evidence of results, if available. An LCD projector, chart paper, and pens will be provided.
D: Poster Session: This session will showcase research or innovation in SIM. Proposals should include the title of the poster and a short abstract (up to 75 words) for use in the program book. In addition, if applicable, also include a short description of the evidence of any results. If you want to use a KUCRL trifold board or if you will require an electrical outlet, please include that request in your proposal. Participants who want to use a laptop must provide their own laptop.
