Submissions are invited from individuals who work directly with programs that serve families, children and youth reflecting community-university collaborative partnerships. Programs that have been implemented and assessed will receive higher submission ratings, so include any evidence, if possible, of program evaluation. The hope is that AC presentations can serve as models for other communities to follow and can provide NCFR affiliates with creative ideas for annual conferences, workshops for professionals, and general audience seminars.
Issues affecting children in a family context are also appropriate.
Although proposals are welcome on the wide variety of topics covered within family life education and enrichment, those related to the conference theme are especially encouraged. In addition to regular conference formats, EE section formats include Teaching Round Tables and Resource Exchanges . Resource Exchanges highlight resources that have been particularly useful in teaching and enrichment. Proposals must include a rationale for the importance of the topic and show how participants will be actively involved in the workshop. Workshop and symposia proposals must be explicit about the titles and qualifications of the presenters relating to the proposed topic, and include specific plans for how the session time will be utilized.
