Time to put your thinking cap on… We are less than a week out from our Call for Proposals going live! What does this mean for you? 1.) Start brainstorming proposal ideas! 2.) Mark your calendar: CFP opens September 13th, 2021 and closes October 10th, 2021. What makes a good DLAC presentation you ask? We’re looking for sessions that explore instructional strategies using online, blended, and digital learning to meet educational goals at a district, school, or student level. We are especially interested in systemic approaches to using online tools, resources, or instruction in traditional schools, and also welcome sessions from online schools, hybrid schools, state virtual schools, and the full range of organizations involved in K-12 digital learning. Some specific ideas include: What does “success” look like—beyond test scores in particular? How can digital learning strategies and programs be sustainable and scalable? What have you failed at, learned from, improved upon? What research or evidence-based concepts are you putting into practice (or researching)? What policies are helping or hindering digital learning efforts? Remember, everyone attending DLAC is looking to learn from each other. We want to hear your stories, even if it’s what didn’t work. As Thomas Edison once said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Another email will be sent when the CFP portal is officially open. If you have questions about your session ideas shoot us an email! We would love to help – DLAC@evergreenedgroup.com Need to register for #DLAC22 still?
