Literacy Minnesota and the Minnesota Community Education Association are now seeking presentation proposals for the 2009 ABE Statewide Summer Institute, "Changing Lives, Changing Communities: ABE Solutions Lead the Way," which will be held on August 5-7 at the St. Cloud Civic Center. We hope that new and experienced ABE staff will consider sharing their ideas and expertise with their colleagues at this statewide conference.
CALL FOR PRESENTATION PROPOSALS
Presentation proposals will be reviewed by the conference planning committee. Presenters are strongly encouraged to review the scoring criteria as they are preparing their proposals. The Call for Proposals form and the 2009 Proposal Rating Rubric are available on the Literacy Minnesota Website: http://www.literacyminnesota.org/Summer_Institute.html.
Proposals are due March 31, 2009, and presenters will be notified by May 15, 2009 whether their proposals have been accepted. In an effort to support presenters and ensure high-quality presentations, a handbook of presentation tips is available at http://www.literacyminnesota.org/Summer_Institute.html.
If you are looking for ideas for presentation ideas, you might want to take a look at the list of priority ABE content areas on the MDE-ABE website: http://mnabe.themlc.org/Priority_Content_Areas.html. This is NOT meant to be a comprehensive list, but it might help you identify a topic for your presentation.
