that do not meet stated guidelines will not be reviewed.

Obligation of Presenters
- All presenters are required to register for the convention.
Presenters must register by November 4, 2009!
- To encourage broad program participation, an individual may only be
included as a session leader or presenter in TWO demonstrations,
lectures, panel presentations or multiple-perspectives sessions, and TWO
poster sessions. If a presenter is involved in presentation(s) and
poster session(s), the individual is required to present at all

Due to the limited program slots, the Program Chair and Program
Advisory Committee may determine it necessary to assign your session a
format or length of time different from the one you select. Please be
sure to consider the following three options included in Section A:
Proposal Information Guidelines:
- Acceptance of Another Session Type - Indicate if you are willing to
accept another session format. (Please note that the alternate format
may be a poster session.)
- Acceptance of an Alternative Session length: If you are willing to
accept a session of a different length, e.g., 1 hour
instead of 2 hours, please check the appropriate box.
- We are continuing our pilot of the Multiple Presentation Session, if
you are willing to be considered to be part of a multiple presentation
session, please check the appropriate box. Multiple presentation
sessions are 1- to 2-hour sessions in which 2 or 3 presenters are given
approximately 10-15 minutes each to present their papers on a common
topic, followed by 15-20 minutes of dialogue led by a discussant. The
Program Chair and Program Advisory Committee will group and assign
proposals to these sessions.
Individual requests for particular times cannot be granted;
therefore, submission of a proposal assumes that you will present at the
time you are scheduled.
Persons presenting at CEC conventions or related programs are
expected to use material and language that do not discriminate on the
basis of culture, gender, language, race/ethnicity, religion, sexual
orientation, socioeconomic status, families, and/or educators with
disabilities.
Proposals that promote commercially available products, services or
programs, will not be accepted. The venue for commercially available
products is an Exhibitor Showcase Session. Please contact
CEC’s Exhibits Manager, Victor Erickson, to discuss
the availability of Exhibitor Showcase Sessions, victore@cec.sped.org,
(703-264-9454).
Please review the Selection Criteria:
- Importance of the Topic to the Field (10 points)
- Rationale for the presentation (5 points)
- Measurable participant outcomes (3 points)
- Appropriateness of the mode of presentation to the content,

be Presented (20 points)
