Annual ACAL Conference

From Strength to Strength

Call for Presentations papers due by 19 May 2009

We are seeking presentations and workshop sessions exploring our major theme: From Strength to Strength. We want to celebrate and promote what works for us, our students and our collaborators. Our thematic strands are:

Language diversity, educational outcomes and literacy
Building on our strengths
Literacy, equity, justice and human rights

We want to create a program with something for everyone: teachers, tutors, researchers bureaucrats, thinkers, activists and others from outside our sector who may want to collaborate with us. All sessions should focus on the context of second chance education, particularly the core skills of literacy and numeracy. Each theme might be developed with reference to research, theory, policy, or practice.

The concurrent sessions can be 40 or 90 minutes. Forty minute sessions are intended for brief reports, and showcasing new resources. Workshops of ninety minutes are intended to include participatory activities.
