NIH SciEd 2023 Breakout Session Proposal Form

INFORMATION FOR BREAKOUT SESSION PROPOSERS

The NIH SciEd 2023 Conference will be held May 30 - June 2 in person at the Grand Hyatt Washington in downtown Washington, DC. DEADLINE for proposal submission is MONDAY, APRIL 3.

Breakout sessions will be 1.25 hours in length.

Many conference participants seek interactive sessions that provide ample opportunities to share and contribute. Rather than thinking of breakout sessions as traditional conference talks in which you present your research or project, we recommend planning the types of sessions you would hold for students, teachers and/or families – engaging and interactive.

Session proposals will be reviewed by the appropriate Strand Co-Leads. If you have questions, contact Kristin Bass, Conference Co-chair, kristin@rockman.com.

HIgh - The session will be highly interactive with multiple activities designed to engage participants, such as small group discussions and report-outs, interactive polls, brainstorming exercises, or hands-on activities. Participants are actively participating, contributing, and collaborating with each other. They may also be actively reflecting on their knowledge and experiences, or considering how they might be able to use what they are learning in their own work.

Moderate - The session will have some interactive elements, such as several open-ended questions or large group discussions. There may also be some brief or spontaneous opportunities for self-reflection.

Low - The session will have a few interactive elements, such as a Q&A session at the end, or a show of hands poll. Attendees will mostly be listening to lecture-style content.
