Subject: ABAI Education Conference: Call for Posters

Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:34:08 -0400

On behalf of the Association for Behavior Analysis International Executive

Council, we are excited to announce the Call for Posters for the 2008 ABAI

Education Conference: " Evidence-Based Practice, Scientifically-Based

Instruction, and Educational Effectiveness. " The event will take place Friday,

September 5 through Sunday, September 7, 2008, at the Hyatt Regency Reston in

Reston, Virginia near Washington, D.C.

In addition to an exciting line up of professionals and researchers working on

evidence-based education in the federal, public, and private sectors, we will

hold a poster session showcasing effective educational practices and evaluating

evidence standards.

We invite you to participate by submitting a poster on the Web at

http://www.abainternational.org/educonf/callforposters.asp

Space is limited, so we encourage you to submit as soon as possible. The

deadline for poster submissions is Thursday, April 24th.

Please note that a person may be listed as the primary (presenting) author for

only ONE poster.

Posters may include information on existing effective empirically-based

practices; how effective programs are designed, developed, tested, and

implemented; standards of evidence; and the application of scientific research

methods to evaluate effectiveness. Descriptions of programs (private and

public), products, or procedures that use evidence-based practices to achieve

measurably superior student outcomes are welcome. Poster presenters are

encouraged to bring handouts, resource materials, and/or other information that

will allow attendees to learn more about their presentation topic.

This exciting program will provide attendees a forum to learn about

evidence-based education, legislation issues and advocacy for the adoption of

effective practice in schools, and information on the work in evidence-based

education being accomplished by ABAI practitioners, scholars, and researchers.

To provide the most current information regarding evidence-based education we

have assembled an esteemed group of speakers, including:
