The 2010 CIT Conference offers an exciting opportunity to collaborate with CIT and ASLTA colleagues…in San Antonio! The conference program provides opportunities for sharing innovative ideas that promote successful student outcomes. Each full day of the conference will begin with a plenary session, as well as, daily poster sessions that will provide additional opportunities for scholarly exchange and collegial interactions.
Abstracts that promote collaboration—across departments, between institutions, or among organizations/community entities—are encouraged. The target audience for the conference includes ASL and interpreter education teachers, mentors, and in-service trainers.
Call for Papers
Abstracts: Presentations on topics related to the theme Connecting Our World: Expanding Our Horizon are being solicited; other collaborative efforts are also welcomed. Format will include:
- 0.5 hour (resource/activity sharing, paper presentations)
- 1.5 hour (hands-on workshops, panel discussions)
Call for Poster Sessions
Abstracts: Poster sessions provide presenters with a less formal forum to discuss new and innovative works—such as research, works in progress, ideas and activities, and classroom, workshop or mentoring tools and resources. Presenters are expected to have a poster that describes their presentation, but can include other types of visual aids to entice participants to stop by and talk. Up to sixteen (16) half-hour poster sessions will be selected.

One (1) copy of an electronic, anonymous 500-word abstract (one-page, unreduced) or a 2 minute ASL abstract in video format should be submitted with a résumé of all presenters, pictures of all presenters and the Proposal Information Form (see below).
