BCTLA in Coquitlam 2012...

The British Columbia Teacher-Librarians’ Association is hosting “We’re IN: Inquire, Inspire, Innovate”, a provincial PSA conference, in Coquitlam on October 18 and 19, 2012.  We are excited about this opportunity to celebrate and share our current successes and visions for the future.

Our Planning and Program Committee is committed to providing a range of sessions that will interest teacher-librarians and educators from all levels, and anyone interested in improving their teaching skills in literacy (e.g. visual, critical, etc.), research, and technology.

We are looking for presenters, particularly in the area of information and communications technology and how it can encourage strategies and skills that promote critical thinking.  If you feel you have a topic that may benefit our conference, please submit a proposal.

Please include with your proposal:

  • Session title/topic
  • Brief abstract of your topic
  • Target audience
  • Summary of experience with topic
  • Any details concerning possible expenses for out of area presenters

Our compensation for expenses includes:

  • Conference registration

Deadline for proposals:  February 29, 2012
