Evaluation Criteria

Successful proposals will be designed intentionally for participants as learners and will do the following:

• Consider how the session disrupts common ideas about writing centers, celebrates stories, and/or reimagines and realizes the work of writing centers
• Engage the idea/method of story and storytelling
• Describe the moves you will make in the proposed session and how they will engage the audience. Include how you'll forefront accessibility into this session.

Questions to Consider

• What goals do you have for participant-learners? For yourself?
• What will you do in your proposed session?
• How do these actions help you specifically address your stated learning goals?
• How does your presentation disrupt common ideas about writing centers, celebrate writing center stories, and/or (re)imagine the work of writing centers?
• How does your proposal engage the ideas and methods of storytelling in the center?
• What approach to storytelling will you use? Why will you use it? How does it help?
