Second Annual Closing the Achievement Gap Conference: May 21, 2007
Call for Proposals
On May 21, 2007, we are holding the second annual "CLOSING THE
ACHIEVEMENT GAP CONFERENCE" at the University of Connecticut. Last
year, over 200 educators from around the state and across the region
attended the inaugural conference. We would like to invite faculty and
graduate students to submit proposals that relate to our theme of
"closing the achievement gap." The primary audience for the conference
will be teachers, counselors, and administrators, so we welcome
proposals that address research or best practices for closing the
achievement gap. All sessions will be 1 hour in length. If you are
interested in presenting at this year's conference, please send a title
and a 100-150 word description of your proposed presentation to our
conference coordinator, Christina Peretti, (ChristinaPeretti@hotmail.com
) by November 14, 2006. Please be sure to explicitly state how your
proposed talk addresses closing the achievement gap. If you have any
questions about or ideas for the conference, please email either of the
conference co-chairs: Dr. Robert D. Colbert Robert.colbert@uconn.edu or
D. Betsy McCoach betsy.mccoach@uconn.edu
