Professional Workshop Proposal Instructions

Professional Workshops - 60 minutes 
Professional workshops engage participants in activities related to the conference theme or an issue in school librarianship. Workshops are intended to enhance the skills of the attendees, engage in discussion with participants, and/or to foster deeper understanding of matters related to the conference theme.

Submission Format
In addition to the general guidelines, the proposal should be a maximum of 500 words excluding references, and include:

• Title
• At least two measurable outcomes or objectives
• A detailed description of workshop contents
• Activities and discussions to engage participants and encourage interaction
• ​Examples of tasks and/or learning experiences

​Workshop proposals should answer the following questions:

• What types of collaboration, interactivity, or discussion will occur during the workshop?
• What will participants take home as a tangible deliverable or takeaway?
• How will participants be able to apply practices shared in the workshop in their own context?
• Who is the primary audience for this workshop, in other words, who will get the most out of this workshop and why?

​Remember to prepare a paper copy of your proposal since the system will ask for its submission in preparation for conference proceedings.

The EXTENDED deadline for all submissions is March 18, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. ET (UTC-5:00)
