  Beyond the Buzzwords: Creating Conference Proposals that Get a "Yes"

     

  
  

  SESSION DESCRIPTION Even an excellent session idea can be overlooked if the proposal does not clearly communicate its value. Experienced proposal reviewers and national conference presenters Joel Miller and Chris Cannon will lead this workshop and explore what makes conference proposals compelling, including addressing specific reviewer requests, highlighting what is unique about your work, avoiding vague or clichéd language, and making the benefits for attendees unmistakable. Participants will also gain practical strategies to strengthen future proposals, increase the likelihood of having their sessions accepted, and expand their opportunities to be recognized as presenters at state and national conferences. PRESENTERS Dr. Chris Cannon Chris Cannon has been in and around public education since 2002, teaching economics at Morrow High School in Clayton County, Sandy Creek High School, and McIntosh High Schools in Fayette County.   Chris served as the Social Studies Program Specialist at the Georgia Department of Education from 2006-2008, delivering programming and working on statewide assessments.

  Pedagogy of the Transnational Mindset: Teaching Learners to Think Across Borders

      

  SESSION DESCRIPTION A partnership production (NAEE PD & International Committees):  Economic and social life increasingly crosses national boundaries, yet learners often encounter global issues through isolated countries, statistics, or cultural comparisons. A transnational mindset asks students to examine the relationships, institutions, incentives, and human experiences that connect people across borders. In this webinar, Dr. Daniel Ostergaard will explore how educators can help learners engage cultural complexity, evaluate issues from multiple perspectives, and understand the interconnected nature of international economic and social systems. Drawing upon his extensive international experience and award-winning teaching, Dr. Ostergaard will share practical approaches for creating learning environments that challenge assumptions, encourage thoughtful dialogue, and prepare students to navigate an increasingly interconnected world. Participants will consider how these principles can inform classroom instruction, curriculum design, educator professional development, and other economic education programs. PRESENTERS Dr. Daniel Ostergaard is Clinical Professor of International Business at the University of South Carolina’s Darla Moore School of Business. His teaching blends international business theory with extensive experience in government, diplomacy, security, and multinational business. He has conducted business and diplomacy in 77 countries and has received numerous teaching honors, including recognition by Poets&Quants as one of the world’s Top 50 Undergraduate Business Professors and the 2026 Best of Carolina award for Best Professor.
