The Global Imperative: Educating and Assessing the Whole Child, Teachers and Community.

The 2009 Annual Meeting Planning Committee welcomes all professionals involved in the education of the whole child to participate in this very important event by submitting a proposal as it relates to your work and the conference theme of, "The Global Imperative: Educating and Assessing the Whole Child, Teachers and Community." We seek proposals that broaden the context for professional development of educators who are responsible for preparing our future citizens to function and live well in a global community. We have identified six strands that we believe are relevant to this global imperative: (1) Multiple Literacies/Integrated Learning; (2) Fitness and Health; (3) Culture and Community; (4) Policy and Advocacy; (5) Partnerships and Collaboration; (6) Research. The planning committee recognizes the strands are interrelated; proposals may address more than one strand.
