Conference sessions will present and discuss ways to maximize student learning outcomes. How can we develop programs that encourage students to make the most of their international education experiences? In what ways can partnerships between U.S. and overseas organizations promote learning? How can we evaluate - and heighten - the impact of the local environment has on students' education?
Prepare to discuss international education issues such as:
- Student Learning Outcomes: Identifying Goals and Measuring Success
- Impact of the Local Environment on Student Learning: Homestays, Community Service, and Internships
- Increasing the Effectiveness of Language Learning Through Technology
- Developing Community-Based Programming
- Influence of U.S. Students on Host Communities
- Collaboration Between U.S. Colleges/Universities and International Institutions
Region-specific study abroad destinations, scholarship and grant opportunities, and relevant developments in Washington, DC will also be covered.
Submit a Session Proposal. CIEE wants your session proposals on the theme of “Making the Most: Seizing Every Opportunity to Learn Abroad,” professional development topics, or any subject of interest to the international education community. General sessions should focus on concepts, theories, issues, problems, solutions, or controversies—not on case studies or descriptions of programs at a single institution. If you wish to spotlight efforts at a single institution, please submit a proposal to be part of our Campus Close-Up series. The standard format is a presentation given by two to four speakers, with 15 minutes of questions/audience discussion. Alternative formats, such as panel discussions, breakout/working groups, debates, and poster sessions are warmly welcomed. Sessions are 75 minutes long.
All proposals should include:
- Session Title
- Session Description (200-400 words)
- Chair and Presenter Names including institutional affiliations and contact information
- Session Format and Audio-Visual Requirements
- Proposer's Name, Institution, Address, Telephone, Fax, and Email
Please email proposals to conference2006@ciee.org no later than February 1, 2006 for consideration.
The full Call for Proposals is also available for download.
