Call for Presentations issued for KSBA Summer Leadership Institute in Lexington on July 9; proposals due May 11

Proposals are being solicited for high-quality breakout sessions that focus on topics of critical interest to school board teams that will help them govern and act effectively. Session are 75 minutes and will be held on Saturday, July 9.

The purpose of these sessions is for presenters to share their experience, information, knowledge or research about successful programs in their district or to discuss topics of critical importance to board members and education leaders. Lecture portions should be interspersed with ample time for audience questions and participation.

Priority will be given to proposals that reflect these criteria:

* MUST relate to local school board team roles, responsibilities and perspectives.

* Reflect the core work, actions and styles of effective school boards.

* Identify what participants will know and be able to do after attending the session.

* Support the topic with appropriate research.

* Provide clear intent, description, design and learning objectives for the session.

* Include participant interaction such as learning activities and skill-building exercises.

* Demonstrate innovation and creativity in presentation content.

Preference will be given to proposals that include the involvement of at least one school board member.

All presenters must submit a registration form for the conference by or upon acceptance of the proposal. (The conference registration fee will be waived for one presenter per session and is non-transferrable. Fees for meals and pre-conference sessions apply).
