We appreciate your interest in submitting a proposal for a 50 minute breakout session at the 2018 ASBA-ASA Annual Conference December 13-14, 2018 in Phoenix, AZ.

We've made some changes to our submission process this year, so please read carefully!

This year your submission may address any of these general themes:
 
Rural/Remote: Promising practices or strategies for addressing key issues facing rural or remote schools

Social/Emotional: Topics or strategies to promote empathy, inclusion or improved school/district culture

Equity: Address the needs or highlight key concerns of specific communities and/or populations

Stakeholder Collaboration: Effective strategies for engaging various stakeholders (parents, students, community organizations, etc.) in district decisions

Data-Driven Decisions: Addressing achievement gaps through data-driven decision making.


In addition to reflecting one of these themes, presentations should:

 Enhance the knowledge, skills and abilities of board members and superintendents

 Share promising strategies and best practices that can be replicated by other districts

 Demonstrate innovative ideas and solutions that are showing effectiveness

  Foster increased access to quality education for all students

Focus on positive results and/or proven student success

 
The DEADLINE for consideration is July 31, 2018. ASBA will conduct a first review and notify semi-finalist no later than August 31, 2018. If selected, you will be asked to provide additional details on your presentation. This will assist ASBA in making final selections which will occur no later than October 1, 2018.
