10th Annual NJWA Conference — CALL for PRESENTATIONS







The New Jersey Writing Alliance Spring 2010 Conference



Tuesday, May 25, 2010



Rutgers University, College Avenue Campus, New Brunswick, NJ


Me + We:
Inspiring Students’ Voices in Multiple Communities










The 10th NJWA conference will focus on the practical, pedagogical, and institutional issues that face us as we help students make the transition from writing in high school to writing in college.  Professional development certificates for presenters will be available.  We welcome your proposals.

Formats may include 20 - 35 minute presentations and 75 minute workshops/panels. The conference format is dialogue intensive—we hope to have a large number of members sharing ideas and practices. We may place related shorter presentations together to form presentation blocks.


Topics are suggested by, but not limited to, the following questions:

> Finding one's voice and learning multiple voices
        Empowering students who feel they don't have a
           voice
      Incorporating other/expert voices in one's writing
> Understanding and engaging multiple audiences
        Inspiring students to be versatile about audience
        Developing a sense of audience
> Models for team-based learning
        Challenges and opportunities of team-based
           learning
        Using peer feedback



> Integrating multiple literacies
        Technology in multiple literacies
        Validating different forms of literacy
        Multi-modal writing
        Hybrid and online courses
        Bridging voices from email/Facebook/etc. to academic
           writing
> Bridging high school and college
        HS students taking college-credit classes (other than
          AP)
        College - high school partnerships/writing projects/
           special programs



We are especially interested in panels or workshops by inter-institutional presenters, especially teams that represent both high school and college faculty
addressing a specific topic.  Interactive presentations are preferred.

• Abstract of 250 words maximum
• A 2-3-sentence informative description for the conference program
• Name, institution, position, phone number, e-mail & school address for each presenter
• For groups:  indicate contact person
• Type of session:  75-minute workshop, 20-minute or 35-minute presentation
(NOTE:  presentations may be in panels that will open up to discussion)
