We are especially interested in breakout sessions and panels which focus on this year’s theme:\u00a0Teaching for Curiosity, Creativity, and Action<\/i>. How might we engage our learners to help them develop curiosity and creativity? What role does information literacy play in taking action and making change in our communities? How might our own teaching practice reflect these dispositions? We hope to foster conversations across all types of libraries, schools, and other organizations and encourage a diversity of perspectives in this proposal call.<\/p>\n The Summit is a regional conference which will be held at the Moraine Valley Community College campus. If you wish to propose more than one breakout session, please fill out a form for each topic. Breakout sessions and panels will be 50 minutes long and should include audience interaction or discussion. Panel discussions should have a three person maximum. Hands-on lessons and demonstrations (and\/or practical takeaways) are encouraged. Sessions typically have 20-40 participants.<\/p>\n The submission should include a 200-300 word description of your session. Please include learning outcomes and a brief explanation of why people should attend your session and what they will take away. A shorter abstract (around 100 words) for publication in the Summit programming will be required as well.<\/p>\n Please fill out this\u00a0<\/b>Google form<\/b><\/a>\u00a0to propose a breakout session<\/b><\/p>\n Deadline to submit proposals is Friday, January 12, 2018<\/b><\/p>\n Some possible topics for sessions include the following.<\/p>\n Questions?
