**ABSTRACT FOR THE PROGRAM** (50-75 words): exactly as you would like it
to appear in the Conference Program Book. It should reflect the
conceptual content of your presentation.

**TYPES OF SESSIONS**

1.  [Short Session/ Paper (20 minutes)]{.underline}. This format allows
    for a presentation (including literature review of recent research)
    on a relevant topic. Short Sessions are oral summaries with
    occasional references to notes or text which describe and discuss
    what the presenter is doing or has done. They often include visual
    aids and handouts.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  [Panel (60 minutes).]{.underline} A panel involves both a formal
    presentation and participant discussion. Panel members generally
    give 10-15 minute presentation under the guidance of a chairperson
    who moderates the discussion and summarizes the session at its
    conclusion. Panel organizers should submit a summary outlining the
    topic and objectives.

2.  [Demonstration (40 minutes).]{.underline} A demonstration is used
    for showing rather than telling about a technique. The presenter's
    statement of theory should take no longer than 5 minutes. Often the
    presenter models teaching techniques, usually has handouts and/or
    audiovisual aids. The summary should include a brief statement of
    the central purpose and description of the presentation.

3.  [Workshops (60 minutes).]{.underline} A workshop involves very
    little lecturing; it mainly emphasizes participation in a carefully
    structured activity. The leader/leaders work with the group, helping
    them to solve a problem or develop a specific teaching or research
    technique. The workshop summary should include a statement of the
    goal(s), a synopsis of the theory behind it, and a description of
    the tasks to be performed during the workshop.

4.  [Poster Session]{.underline}. In a poster session, the presenter
    makes her/his own visual poster of an activity or concept, and then
    explains it to individuals or small groups during the time the
    exhibit is on display.
