Differentiated Instruction: Reading and Writing

Call For Papers!! Call For Papers!!

The Teacher's Workshop fall conference Differentiated Instruction: Reading and Writing will be held November 9-11, 2003 at the Charleston Riverview Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina. This call for papers is an invitation for you to submit a proposal for presentation on one of a variety of possible topics relating to brain-friendly teaching and learning.

The principal audience at this conference will be teachers. Topics appropriate for presentation involve any model program or instructional strategy which helps to provide a more brain-friendly classroom experience for students learning to read (or needing to improve their reading), or to improve instruction in other aspects. As examples, the topics presented in previous conferences have included Literacy for Young Children, The Role of Emotions in Learning, Building Memory and Meaning for Retention, Cognitive Enrichment, and Enriched Brain-Friendly Classrooms. (Commercial presenters: your session must cover your topic broadly and not merely present the merits of your product or service.)

We are tentatively offering two formats for your presentation: a one-hour presentation with audience participation, or a "Table Top" presentation, which is an informal poster-session type of presentation that is located in a participant flow-thru traffic area. In your session description, please indicate which format you prefer; however, your preference cannot be guaranteed.

Print out this form, complete it and mail or fax in today, along with a 400 word description of your proposed session. All proposals will be peer reviewed, and the most appropriate will be selected for inclusion in the program. Presenters will receive a $50 registration discount!
