Beyond IQ: Theory and Practice with the Highly and Profoundly
Gifted
Social and Emotional Curriculum
May 3-5, Radisson Hotel, Chelmsford, MA
Proposal Deadline: Proposals are due January 31, 2008!
All proposals should relate directly to the general topic of the conference, which focuses
on understanding the characteristics, needs, and paths unique to the highly and profoundly
gifted. The themes of Emotions and Creativity are important to the conference, but are not the only
subject we are discussing. In your abstract, please specify the relationship of your
proposed presentation to the topic and, if appropriate, the theme.
Proposals for the Pre-conference workshops should be directed at Teachers, Administrators,
or Counselors. Each Pre-conference workshop period is 3 hours.
Proposals for the Conference can be for adult sessions (introductory, intermediate,
or advanced), young adult sessions, or children's workshops for ages 6 - 12.
Unlike the pre-conference sessions, all conference sessions
are 65 minutes in length. Adult sessions must include a minimum of 20 minutes for
discussion and questions. The young adult sessions should be highly interactive and
concentrated, and allow for at least 60 minutes of discussion. The children's workshops
are to be discovery-based learning.
Accepted presenters will be responsible for expenses related to conference attendance,
including costs for travel, accommodations, and printing. The lead presenter will
receive a complementary conference registration; additional presenters will receive a
50% reduction of their conference registration fee.
Overhead projectors and screens will be provided on request. Other audio-visual
equipment may be available and should be requested with the proposal.
