Closing the Achievement Gap through Scholarly and Creative Teaching

The conference theme, “Closing the Achievement Gap through Scholarly and Creative Teaching,” encourages us, as individuals and as a field, to examine and promote those strategies of deliberate practice that constitute highly effective instruction.

Do you have an exceptional strategy to share with an audience of instructors seeking to excel?  Presenters are encouraged to engage their audience for approximately 45 minutes through a demonstration, so preference will be given to those submissions that specify how this engagement will be provided.  The conference will hold an opening plenary session to focus on those strategies that constitute highly effective teaching.

Potential Tracks(final tracks to be determined by subject and quality of submissions):

·      Innovations

·      Evidence-based Learning

·      Technology

·      Critical/Creative Thinking

·      Cultural Competency

·      Information Literacy and Communication

We welcome submissions by individuals and groups from the Commonwealth, across the country, and around the world.
