Call for Proposals
Realizing Student Potential/ITeach 2010
February 26-27, 2010
Minneapolis Community and Technical College
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
The 2010 Realizing Student Potential/ITeach conference is focused on quality, effectiveness, and engaged practice. We invite your presentations on ways in which you recognize and realize these themes in your own teaching practice. As changes occur at an accelerated pace in each of our classrooms, departments, disciplines, colleges and universities, we must make informed decisions about which teaching methods and techniques to modify or discard, and what course structures and approaches to adjust to suit new needs and create better outcomes. We improve, and our students improve, when we are able to recognize what it is that we do well and replicate or build upon those practices. Our engagement with students and with one another in improving teaching creates quality and effectiveness.
PROPOSALS
The proposal submission deadline is November 25, 2009.
We seek proposals from YOU and all statewide faculty, staff and administrators for:
60-minute concurrent sessions
60-minute roundtable sessions
90-minute hands-on workshops
75-minute poster sessions
75-minute discipline meetings
Faculty are especially encouraged to submit proposals to facilitate discipline meetings. Ideally, each discipline meeting will have an agenda or general topic for discussion proposed by a facilitator. CTL can announce topics for discipline meetings in the print and online versions of the conference program, provided we get a proposal from faculty members.
TRACKS
How do YOU help students realize their potential? Choose one of the following tracks:
Student Persistence and Graduation
Quality and Assessment
Mentoring and Advising
Recognizing and Measuring Best Practices
Innovations in Teaching Tools and Techniques
PEER REVIEW
All proposals will be reviewed by a committee comprising system faculty, and Office of the Chancellor and Center for Teaching and Learning staff. Successful conference proposals will address the conference theme and center on a specific issue of interest or relevance to the work of system faculty, administration, or staff. The program review committee also may take into account the presenter(s) demonstrated familiarity with current literature on their topic. In keeping with this years theme, preference will be given to those sessions that bring together members of a community or partnership (i.e. faculty working with administrators or cross-departmental or cross-divisional projects).
