Want to share your experience and expertise? RSAC 2011 is accepting presenter proposals for the 2011 conference. The Raising Student Achievement conference will be held December 5-6  at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, Illinois. Previous RSAC conferences have had a broad range of presentations including exciting presentations from classroom educators. We hope to continue that tradition this year. To be considered for inclusion in the 2011 program complete the Presenter Proposal form by April 22, 2011.

 

Guidelines for Submission

  1. Breakout sessions for RSAC 2011 should fit into one of three general conference themes: Common Core Standards, Assessment, or Response to Intervention.  A focus within the three conference themes might be on a specific content area, technology, subgroup populations, school climate, instructional strategies/interventions, or data analysis.

  2. The purpose of breakout sessions is to give educators the latest research based information and/or strategies that can be used to improve or enhance instruction.

  3. Commercial materials may not be sold or promoted during breakout sessions.

  4. Presenters may submit more than one proposal.

  5. Deadline for submission of proposals is April 22, 2011

Review and Notification

All proposals for breakout sessions submitted for RSAC are reviewed and rated by the members of the RSAC Conference Planning Committee.  Questions reviewers will ask when evaluating proposals include:

  • How well does the proposal relate to the conference theme?

  • Does the proposal contain innovative and cutting-edge ideas that have achieved proven results?

  • Will the proposal's content attract and stimulate conference attendees' thinking?

  • Is the proposal clearly written, and does it specify what participants might gain from the session?

  • Are the ideas, practices, and programs replicable, and do they focus on the "whys" and "hows"?

  • Are the presentation techniques current and diverse?

RSAC will notify the primary presenter, whether or not the proposal was accepted, by August 31, 2011.

Please note: If you have not heard from RSAC regarding your proposal by September 1, 2011, please email us.
