Call for 2nd-Annual Poster Presentations FENI Educators Summit
2009
Poster Presentations:
We are pleased to invite culinary educators and administrators at
secondary and postsecondary programs to share teaching improvements
that have led to better student learning via our 2nd Annual Poster
Presentations at the 2009 FENI Educators Summit on Saturday, February 14th, 2008 (www.feni.org). We are inviting posters that share teaching
improvements in any aspect of culinary education: the curriculum,
administration, classroom, kitchen, culinary field trips, etc.
Congratulations to last year's inaugural
winners: Jean L. Hertzman, Ph.D., CCE, from the William F. Harrah
College of Hotel Administration at the University of Nevada Las
Vegas, and Carol Ann Silkes, Ph.D., CEC, from the Department of
Hospitality and Tourism Management at Purdue University. Congrats
also to the People's Choice Award winner for 2008, Vivian C. Cadbury
from The Culinary Institute of America.
Submission Guidelines:
Follow the guidelines below if interested in submitting a proposal
for a poster presentation at the FENI Educators Summit in 2009:
-
All proposals must be submitted via an e-mail attachment to
Naurice Olivera by midnight on December 1st, 2008. The subject
message of the e-mail should read: FENI POSTER PRESENTATION.
-
Each proposal must have a cover page with the title of the proposed
poster presentation, the name of the presenter(s), name of culinary
program, mailing address, phone number(s) (office and/or cell),
and e-mail address.
-
An abstract of the proposed poster should be attached to the
cover page that has the title of the presentation and explanation
of the improved teaching technique that has been used successfully
to better facilitate student learning. The abstract should be no more than 600 words.
-
To be adequately reviewed, the abstract should have background
information that led to the improvement, any published books or
articles or expert sources that were consulted to help shape the
teaching innovation, and evidence to support the claim that the
improvement led to better student learning.
-
The abstracts of accepted presentations will be placed on the
FENI Web site following the conclusion of the 2009 FENI Summit
and available for review until the 2010 Summit.
-
All poster presenters must register and pay the registration
fee to attend the FENI.
-
All poster presenters will be notified via e-mail and phone
on or before December 15, 2008, regarding the acceptance or decline
of their presentations.
Review Criteria:
Poster submissions will be reviewed by at least two individuals
in a double-blind process. The primary criteria will be the significance
of the improvement, the quality of the theoretical or conceptual
framework upon which it was based, and evidence that the method
led to better student learning. Only the abstracts will be reviewed
and scored. A select number of accepted posters will be distinguished
with a Best Poster Award by the review panel. A select number
of posters will win an Educator's Choice Award based on the
votes of those attending the presentations on Saturday, February 14th, 2009.
