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.

CATE Polygraph Series

Good Afternoon CATE Folks       
 
In 2009 CATE started a book series dedicated to research and scholarship on teacher education within the Canadian context: “Canadian Research in Teacher Education: A Polygraph Series”. The Series has the purpose of supporting teacher education practices and research in teacher education in and across Canada.
 
1.    The publications within the Series are themed books, creating a series that allows a focused contribution to the Canadian teacher education discourse and teacher education practice.
2.    The books will be polygraphs (‘polygraph’ = many writings) rather than monographs, to allow a range of scholars to contribute to the same theme.
3.    The series of volumes will be available in electronic form on the CATE website (https://sites.google.com/site/cssecate/home), allowing easy access and the quick publication of the respective Canadian scholarship in teacher education.
 
So far three volumes have been published, which can be downloaded from the following site: https://sites.google.com/site/cssecate/polygraph-book-series.
 
The CATE Executive invites you – possibly in collaboration with some of your colleagues – to consider a book publication in the CATE Polygraph Series within the area of your expertise as a teacher education scholar. The attached “Guidelines for Prospectus” document is to help you in the development of a prospectus for a book in the Series. For any preliminary inquiries, please feel free to contact me. Guidelines for Prospectus (June 2012)

Conference – Graduate Students and Graduate Student Supervisors in Science Education

Dear colleagues in science education,

An important part of graduate studies (at both a master’s and doctoral level) is sharing your work and ideas with others.  Whether you are just beginning your graduate work and are new to conference presentations, or are very comfortable with the conference ‘scene’; we invite you to consider submitting a proposal to CSSE (Canadian Society for Studies in Education) through the Science Education Research Group (SERG) and / or through the Canadian Committee of Graduate Students in Education (CCGSE).

2014 Conference Details

24-28 May

Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario.

http://www.csse-scee.ca/conference/

Application Process

If you are a graduate student working in science education, you are eligible to submit a proposal to:

1) Science Education Research Group (SERG) AND

2) Canadian Committee of Graduate Students in Education (CCGSE).

This provides you the opportunity to give two presentations at the same conference, should you wish to do so.  Please note that you cannot submit the same proposal to both SERG and CCGSE.

In order to provide graduate students an open and welcoming environment for them to share their work, only graduate students can submit proposals to CCGSE. All submissions will be reviewed and feedback will be provided.  To find out more about applying to CCGSE, please go to http://www.csse-scee.ca/conference/

SERG receives proposals from graduate students and faculty working in science education.  Proposals will be subject to peer review and feedback on your proposal will be provided.

The deadline for proposals to SERG is November 27, 2013.   Graduate students should also note that there are graduate student awards available through SERG that assist with conference registration or other costs.  For more information on these awards or on how to submit a paper to SERG for CSSE 2014, please go to:  http://www.sergcanada.ca/

Personally, I had a great experience at CSSE last year.  As a master’s student at my first national conference I was initially nervous about applying and presenting, but I am so glad I did!  I presented my work at a round table session and it was a really valuable experience for me because I not only got to present my ideas and research, but I got great feedback and suggestions from the grad students and faculty that attended my session. If you would like to read about graduate students’ experiences at the CSSE 2013 Conference, we will be posting comments from grad students on our website in the following weeks. (http://www.sergcanada.ca/)

Please consider talking to your supervisor(s) about CSSE.  The conference is an excellent opportunity to share your ideas and research, find out about emerging research, and meet graduate students and faculty from across Canada who are working in science education.

Best wishes with your work and we hope to see you at Brock University in May, 2014!  We would also ask that you please forward this email on to colleagues who you think may be interested.

Sincerely,

Carol Brown

Invitation to CATE Pre-Conference

INVITATION TO CATE PRE-CONFERENCE

“How are faculties of education assessing program outcomes and student  learning in an era of innovation, diversity, evaluation, and
accountability?”

The purpose of this Pre-Conference is to provide an opportunity for  teachers, teacher educators and researchers, including graduate  students, to engage in extended conversations with each other and to  forge working relationships and connections between CATE members. CATE  would like to encourage you as graduate students to attend this  pre-conference as many of you consider a future that will include  teacher education. As the Graduate Student Representative for CATE,  and member of CCGSE, I will be at the pre-conference to help  facilitate your involvement. This is a great opportunity to broaden  your network and understanding, so please join us.

We will open the session by hearing the perspectives of a panel of
student teachers, then follow up with a working session that provides  us an opportunity to break into smaller groups for work and  conversation.

We will create working groups according to three themes. Participants  are asked to declare in advance which working group they would like to  work with. There will also be an opportunity for all participants to interact with the participants from other working groups. The three  working groups are as follows:

· Theme/Working Group #1: Assessment practices in teacher education  programs within the context of innovation.

· Theme/Working Group #2: Assessment practices in teacher education  programs within the context of diversity.

· Theme/Working Group #3: Assessment practices in teacher education programs within the context of evaluation and accountability.

If you are interested in joining this session you must pre-register by  contacting Paige Fisher atFisher.paige@gmail.com by March 28, 2013.  There is no cost for this session, but it is essential you register in
advance to attend and that you be a current member of CATE
