FCIS and the Convention Steering Committee are seeking innovative and inspiring workshop proposals for the Administrator Day Sessions on Thursday, November 4, 2021.

Administrators from all levels and all areas of school life are invited to submit proposals for a 55-minute presentation. Deadline for proposals: March 31, 2021.

What You Need To Know

To submit your proposal, click on the link below and complete the form by Wednesday, March 31, 2021. Upon receipt of your proposal, presenters will receive an automatic email confirmation. If this confirmation is not received, then the form was not successfully submitted. Decisions will be emailed to each person submitting a proposal in May. Cell phone numbers are requested to facilitate communication, if needed, during the summer months. Please note that space is limited, and only a small number of proposals will be selected.

If selected, presenters are expected to:

Obtain financial support from their school for Convention registration, travel, and expenses to attend the Convention.
Register and, if interested in attending the luncheon, purchase a ticket.
Book hotel reservations, if needed.
Make travel arrangements.
Provide their own laptops and/or tablets and an HDMI or VGA adaptor, if needed. Wifi access and other AV equipment must be requested on the proposal form.
Be prepared to present a session either in person or virtually.

Attendees are not asked to pre-register for individual sessions, so presenters will be notified of the seating capacity but will not know the number of participants. Break out rooms will be set up with ‘theater’ seating to maximize audience. Each break out room will have a screen, LCD projector, and cart.

Questions? Please contact Alison Carlson at FCIS at acarlson@fcis.org or 813-287-2820.

FACULTY DAY | NOVEMBER 5

FCIS and the Convention Steering Committee are seeking innovative and inspiring workshop proposals for the Faculty Day Sessions on Friday, November 5, 2021.

Participation in the Convention is an outstanding opportunity for our faculties to volunteer to share their expertise and passion for teaching. Please encourage your educators to take advantage of this opportunity to showcase their innovative ideas and to network with other FCIS faculty. Sessions should emphasize the best practices of FCIS teachers who provide engaging experiences for students through reflective, relevant and personalized learning and should allow time for discussion. In order to promote best practices, submissions should model these expectations by demonstrating unique strategies and providing interactive exercises that inspire colleagues to consider implementing in their own classrooms. We are looking forward to a program filled with diverse and dynamic sessions about teaching and learning.

Educators from all levels and all curriculum areas are invited to submit proposals for a 50-minute presentation. Deadline for proposals: April 9, 2021.
