10th Annual NJWA Conference — CALL for PRESENTATIONS







The New Jersey Writing Alliance Spring 2010 Conference

Inspiring Students’ Voices in Multiple Communities

                    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.

Please include the following in your proposal:

•         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)
•         Specific audio-visual and technical requests
