SUBMITTING YOUR PROPOSAL
Proposals for panels and posters should be submitted to Susan Graham-Seifert, Conference Manager, on the electronic form below by AUGUST 22, 2011. Please note that although graduate students may NOT present on panels they are welcome to participate as co-presenters of posters. Also, you cannot participate in more than one session; if two proposals with your name on them get accepted, the organizer of one will be asked to propose a substitute before the program is confirmed. This policy broadens participation at PCRC and minimizes redundancy in the proposals and the program.
The program committee will review all submissions and select panels and posters for the 2012 conference in late August / early September. Panels not accepted will be eligible to resubmit as a poster presentation. If a proposal is accepted, all participants are expected to be present and the substitution of other members is not acceptable. If substitutions are necessary due to emergencies, the conference manager should be informed.
Research proposed for presentation at PCRC should focus on teaching, learning, and schooling for students with mild to moderate disabilities. Provide sufficient detail in the abstract to permit the Program Committee to judge the quality of the research to be presented.
Panel Sessions. The organizer of a Panel Session unites researchers from several institutions to contribute brief perspectives on a single theme. Or, the organizer may gather researchers from a single institution to present various facets of a single piece of work. Themes may be methodological (approaches to data collection or data analysis) or substantive (convergent or divergent findings from various "labs.") Four participants are suggested. It is helpful if one member of the panel has attended PCRC in the past and helps to structure the presentation to maintain the spirit of the conference (i.e. brief presentation leaving plenty of time for discussion). Panel participants make commitments to register for the conference on time and attend the entire meeting.
Poster Sessions. Posters combine the graphic display of materials with the opportunity for individualized, informal discussion of research. Proposals for posters should describe the study to be displayed. There will be two poster sessions.
