[|Online proposal]

It is important that all potential presenters read and follow these guidelines for writing a session description and learning outcomes. Session descriptions that do not meet the criteria will not be considered.
 * Session Description:**
 * Writing the Session Description**
 * Describe what participants will be doing, as opposed to what they will be receiving. (E.g., using action words such as "survey," "review," "assess," and "examine" gives the description a participant-centered focus.)
 * Speak in general terms about the topic, rather than attempting to capture the entire presentation.
 * Emphasize what participants will be able to do with the information and knowledge gained.
 * Provide a description no longer than 80 words.

This description will serve as the text for the final program. Use no more than 80 words, and do not send any additional materials. Please note: The AP Annual Conference reserves the right to edit session titles and descriptions for accuracy and clarity.
 * Writing Learning Outcomes**
 * Learning outcomes must be included within the session description.
 * The learning outcomes must be stated clearly and describe the actual skills participants will develop during the workshop, as well as the specific ways the skills can be applied to the participants' work.
 * Learning outcomes must be measurable, tangible, and concrete; they should be observable and assessable, if needed.
 * Examples of acceptable learning outcomes:
 * "Participants will examine a model AP program from Dalton High School, and then develop strategies for implementing best practices in their own schools and classrooms."
 * "Participants will learn how to teach analysis of narrative structure through a discussion of an author's intentions."
 * "By learning about different assessment methods, participants will develop the skills needed to compare the effectiveness of formative and summative assessments. Participants will then design three formative assessment activities that they can use."
 * "After hearing from the panel, participants will develop strategies for identifying faith-based and academic resources in the community, and for getting parents involved in the application process in order to assist their students."
