Guidelines for Proposals
Published papers or presentations given at earlier professional meetings are not to be submitted. All proposals will be submitted to blind peer review. Deadline for proposals is April 1, 2003.

1. Submit one copy of a cover page that includes the title of the paper; the names, addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of all authors; and the following warrant statement: "I (we) warrant that if this paper is accepted, I (we) will submit a camera-ready six page (single-spaced typed) paper for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings. I (we) understand that if this paper is not received by Aug. 1, 2003, this paper will not be included as part of the Proceedings."

2. Submit five printed copies of the proposal, not to exceed three pages (double-spaced type) along with a diskette with the original proposal in either Word (version 6.0 or higher) or Word Perfect (Windows 95 or more recent). Type only the title, proper category (A-D), and session preference (45-minute concurrent or 10-minute table-top) at the top of the first page. Do not type the authors’ names on these pages.

3. Make sure the typing or printing is clear and dark; use a laser-quality printer. Observe standard margins (1" on sides and bottom and 1.5" on top of page). Use 12-point Times or Times Roman font if possible.

4. Proposals for papers with the warrant cover sheet must be postmarked by April 1, 2003. Fax copies will not be accepted. Please include a self-addressed stamped envelope for notification of receipt of your proposal and send the proposals and self-addressed envelope to:

Chan Lee, Program Chair
The Ohio State University
College of Education
287B Arps Hall
1945 North High St.
Columbus, OH 43210-1120

Notifications and instructions for preparation of papers will be sent to presenters May 31, 2003. If your paper is accepted, please plan to register promptly. Final papers will be accepted only from those who have at least one author registered for the conference. Papers without registrations will not be placed on the conference program.
