Selection of papers will be made by the review committee. Evaluation criteria will include (1) innovative ideas/theories and practice, (2) usefulness for those who are involved in professional development, (3) relevance to the field, and (4) strength of arguments. Please note that because of the high cost of renting AV equipment there may be a charge to presenters for use of an LCD computer projector.

The deadline for submission is January 15, 2003. Papers should be submitted in electronic format by e-mail to Proposal Review Committee Chair, Masako O. Douglas: mdouglas@csulb.edu and to Yasu-Hiko Tohsaku, Chair of Professional Development SIG: ytohsaku@ucsd.edu. We will notify the results via e-mail by early February, 2003.
