Submit a Proposal to Present
Submit Online through our submission form in order to participate as a presenter. You will be asked to provide details on your project.
Please note: this event is not mandatory. Deadline for submissions is the last Sunday before the Symposium.
Content of Presentation
- You will share how your project developed and describe your process of shaping/implementing those ideas.
- Our audience (including many incoming interns) is particularly interested in your process: how you identified a need/opportunity and went about formulating your inquiry around that (ie: how did you come up with your project?).
- Please refrain from sharing specific identifying information about your school/class.
You may wish to use the following outline for the content of your presentation:
How the Inquiry Project Began:
* What sparked your interest in this topic?
* What sources did you consult to help you shape your inquiry process?.
The Process:
* What steps/actions did you undertake as part of your inquiry?
* What challenges/considerations/setbacks/new information arose?
* What did you observe and discover throughout the process?
Reflection:
* How did this inquiry process contribute to your professional practice?
* Do you have any goals for future learning or inquiry based on what you learned?
You may also involve attendees in any way that suits your time frame and topic.
