The Committee on Teaching of the Organization of American Historians invites proposals for Focus on Teaching sessions at the 2005 OAH Annual Meeting in San Francisco, 31 March to 3 April. The committee prefers to receive proposals for complete sessions but will consider individual proposals as well. Sessions may deal with any pedagogical issue or technique relevant to teaching American history at any level, from K-12 through postsecondary (community college, college, and university) institutions. Of particular interest to the committee are session proposals centered around technology and instruction; National or State History Standards; and the main theme of the annual meeting, &opendouble;Telling America&closesingle;s Stories: Historians and their Publics.&closedouble; Proposals exploring other issues and themes in American history are welcome. Focus on Teaching presentations often involve the audience as active participants. Proposals for poster sessions are welcome. In selecting proposals the committee normally discourages participation as a presenter in consecutive annual meetings. All proposals for presentations/sessions must specify participants and include single-page vita, an abstract no more than 500 words in length, and a brief prospectus of each paper/presentation proposed. Here are some examples of successful proposals: Please send five collated copies, postmarked no later than 15 January 2004, to: 2005 Focus on Teaching Proposal, Organization of American Historians, 112 North Bryan Ave., Bloomington IN 47408-4199. |
