THANK YOU

Thank you for your interest in applying to present at the annual fall VAEYC conference. This years conference will be held at The Killington Grand Hotel in Killington VT on October 12-14.  VAEYC and the Vermont Head Start Association (VHSA) will be co-hosting the event.  VAEYC and the VHSA strive to offer the highest quality professional development and educational opportunities for early childhood educators and practitioners to enhance their ongoing work. To maintain a high level of quality, we have a rigorous conference workshop selection process.

Each of the three days has a different focus. 

Thursday: Leadership
Friday:  Hands-on, engaging environments and curriculum in ECE settings
Saturday:  Building literacy skills
INSTRUCTIONS:

Please complete this on line submission form by April 20th, 2017.  Proposals will be reviewed on April 29th for selection.  You will be notified by mid-May whether you have been selected or not  at which time you will be asked to sign a binding agreement.

SELECTION CRITERIA:

This year VAEYC and the Vermont Head Start Association will be pre-screening for VT-based lead presenters to be members of the VT Instructor Registry.

You must be on the Vermont Instructor Registry. Northern Lights Career Development Center is the host to the Instructor Registry and is accepting applications for an April 1st deadline. http://northernlightscdc.org/your-role/adult-instructors/instructor-registry-application/ If you are not currently on the registry, but have a complete application into Northern Lights by their April 1st deadline, we will process your workshop proposal, pending your approval to join the registry. In addition, there may be an exception made if you are an out of state, 1-time presenter.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete proposals from instructors on the VT instructor registry will be evaluated using selection criteria including, but not limited to:

Learning Objectives:
• are developmentally appropriate
• have a clear application to practice
• are relevant to identified conference topics
• have audience appeal/are responsive to participants' needs and interests

Workshop format is:
• interactive
• low-tech (see Audio/Visual section below)

Workshop Presenters:
• credentials and experience
• Clarity of proposal
• participant evaluations from prior VAEYC workshops (if applicable)

AUDIO/VISUAL
VAEYC strongly prefers hands-on, interactive workshops and prioritizes those workshops that support active engagement. VAEYC will limit workshops that rely heavily on PowerPoint style presentations. So, we ask, please send us your "low-tech" workshops!

COMPENSATION
The lead presenter of each workshop has a compensation package that includes a stipend and complimentary registration to that day of the conference. Co-facilitators are not eligible for compensation; stipends and registrations are given on a per workshop basis, not per presenter.
Stipends:
90-min workshop: $100
2-hr workshop: $150
3-hr workshop: $225


NOTIFICATION/CONTACT:
The lead presenter will be notified in early May as to whether or not your workshop proposal has been selected for presentation.
