Call for Proposals for the 2009 Conference
Proposals are now being accepted for the 2009 ASTE Meeting in
Hartford.
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO JULY 6th, 2008
Click here to access the online
proposal submission form
Under the advice
of the ASTE Executive Committee, the deadline for proposals for the ASTE 2009
meeting has been extended. Many good proposals have already been submitted. We
are optimistic that there are others we would receive by extending the deadline.
In addition, there were some technical issues because of the volume of
proposals. As a result, we are allowing a little more time for those who were
unable to submit materials by June 30.
We deeply appreciate those who already submitted their proposals. To ensure that
all legitimate proposals are available for review, the deadline for submission
is now Sunday, July 6. Please do not resubmit proposals as substitutes
for what you have already posted. The deadline extension does not allow people
to fix prior proposals. Instead, we are extending this courtesy to those who may
not have been able to submit before now.
This decision was made after considerable discussions, including the examination
of data from previous years. We expect that this adjustment will be more
inclusive even as it strengthens the substance of the entire program. If you
were disappointed that you could not meet the earlier deadline, please consider
submitting a carefully constructed proposal to the website between now and the
end of July 6.
If you experience
technical problems with the submission form, please contact Eugene Wagner,
ASTE Director of Electronic Services, at
ewagner@pitt.edu.
If you have questions about proposal process, please contact John Settlage
at
hartfordconference@theaste.org.
We hope this extra
time will be viewed as fair and beneficial to all. In the end, we expect that
this will allow us to continue the tradition of offering a fine ASTE program for
everyone involved with science teacher education.
All the best,
Conference Committee Co-Chairs
John Settlage, Heather Harkins & Rob Ceglie (University of Connecticut)
