Happy November!

Thank you for your support last week. We got a good number of graduate students together, to celebrate halloween, including a few with their young’uns who carved up some pumpkins. There aren’t many opportunities in the year to make that kind of connection with our graduate student community, and especially those with families. Thank you for forwarding these on.

Canadian Association for Teacher Education 2014

Dear CATE members,

This is a gentle reminder of the impending November 27, 2013 proposal submission deadline arriving in three weeks. The CATE executive is anticipating a wonderful range of teacher education topics at CSSE in 2014 and would love to receive a proposal from you and have your voice and insights join the conversation.  The conference will be at Brock University in St. Catharine’s, Ontario, from May 24 – 28, 2014.
 
You can access the call for proposals at: http://www.csse-scee.ca/conference/   Please note once again that the deadline for submissions is November 27. 
 
When submitting your proposal, don’t forget to renew your CSSE and CATE memberships and to select CATE as the destination for your proposals. The on-line submission system allows you to choose from 4 types of sessions: “multiple single paper session”, “symposium/panel session”. “small roundtable”, or “poster”. We will attempt to accommodate your preferred type of session, depending upon submission numbers and session availability. A reminder as well that you may only submit one proposal to CATE as a First Author in an attempt to avoid scheduling difficulties.
 
We will also be sending out a call for proposal reviewers in the coming weeks. Please consider volunteering to make this important contribution to the success of our meetings.
 
Looking forward to reading your proposals and meeting you in St. Catharine’s in 2014!
 
Sincerely,
Julie Mueller
Faculty of Education, Wilfrid Laurier Univeristy
CATE Program Chair 2013-2014
