Seattle Pacific University, the School of Education, and the Center for Global Curriculum Studies will host a three-day symposium on educational innovations in countries around the world. The 6th biennial edition of this conference will be held on campus from June 30 - July 2, 2015. We expect participants from at least a dozen countries as well as around the United States. The theme of the conference focuses on innovative educational methods, programs, curriculums, technologies, and assessment procedures. Educational innovations at any and all levels, including primary, secondary, and higher education, as well as from agencies beyond the school setting are included on the agenda.
Proposals should be a maximum of 500 words and must be submitted no later than January 31, 2015. Topices can be addressed in the form of research findings, critical synthesis/analysis, or creative ideas. The Center for Global Curriculum Studies has made arrangements with the editors and publishers of the refereed journal, International Dialogues on Education: Past and Present, to publish conference papers in a thematic edition featuring the topic of educational innovations. Papers selected for inclusion will be published in both online and paper formats.
As has been the case in past symposiums, there are two purposes of our gathering.
- to share academic knowledge and insights
- to create a global community of scholars
To these ends, full participation as a presenter and "community" member are required. This means a commitment to the gathering for the full three days.
If you have questions or wish to know more about this opportunity, please contact Dr. Arthur Ellis.
