Second Annual Closing the Achievement Gap Conference
May 21, 2007

Call for Proposals

On  May 21,  2007, we are holding the second annual "CLOSING THE
ACHIEVEMENT GAP CONFERENCE" at the University of Connecticut.

Last year, over 200 educators from around the state and across the
region attended the inaugural conference.  This venue provided an
opportunity for professors in the Neag School of Education to share
their research with practitioners and provided opportunities to
further future research collaborations in the schools.  We hope that
this year's conference will be as successful.  We would like to invite
Neag faculty to submit proposals that relate to our theme of "closing
the achievement gap."

The primary audience for the conference will be teachers, counselors,
and administrators, so wA the achievement gap. All sessions will be 1
hour in length.

If you are interested in presenting at this year's conference, please
send a title and a 100-150 word description of your proposed
presentation to our conference coordinator, Christina Peretti,
(ChristinaPeretti at hotmail.com) by November 13, 2006.  Please be sure
to explicitly state how your proposed talk addresses closing the
achievement gap. If you have any questions about or ideas for the
conference, please email either of the conference co-chairs:
