Call for Concurrent Session Proposals

You are invited to submit proposals for VADE’s Spring Conference to be held at the Charlottesville Omni, February 21 and 22, 2002. As the state affiliate of the National Association for Developmental Education (NADE), VADE supports educators involved in meeting the academic and nonacademic needs of students who aspire to make a change in their lives through postsecondary education. VADE welcomes proposals from faculty, learning assistance professionals, researchers, program administrators, student support personnel, and other educators who share expertise and provide insight into the following areas: cognition, reading, writing, mathematics, learning assistance, English as a Second Language, learning disabilities, assessment, learning/study strategies, counseling, learning technologies, and legislative issues. Concurrent sessions are 60 minutes in length.

Proposals are due by November 15, 2001. The Program Chair will notify presenters of their selection by December 15, 2001. VADE encourages proposals offering information that can be implemented within developmental and/or learning assistance programs to enhance the learning and development experience, to describe models of collaboration, or to focus on the application of learning. The proposal format is outlined on the next page. You may print it out and mail it in, or you may copy and paste it into MS Word and send it in as an atachment.

We look forward to receiving your proposal!
