FERA 2024 Conference Symposium Proposal
A symposium provides an opportunity to examine specific problems, topics, or projects from a variety of perspectives. Papers presented in a symposium should be on the same theme and should complement each other. A symposium should provide an opportunity for presentations as well as dialogue, critique, and audience comments. Presentations should be organized within a 60-90 minute time period.
The organizer of a symposium is responsible for suggesting the topic, securing speakers, and arranging for a facilitator. If the symposium is accepted by the Program Committee, the organizer is responsible for assuring that everyone named as a participant (whether a presenter or facilitator) will be present at the meeting. If the organizer so desires, the Program Committee will secure a facilitator for the session. Should circumstances prevent a participant from attending the meeting, it is the organizer’s responsibility to secure a suitable replacement and notify the FERA Program Committee of the substitution as soon as possible. The organizer is responsible for notifying all other symposium participants. The Program Committee will notify only the organizer.

Presentations in this strand will be scheduled for the Thursday of the Annual Meeting (November 17, 2022), grouped by topic into paper sessions. Each individual paper presentation should be prepared for an average 15-minute time span.
Teachers whose papers are accepted will be asked to register in advance for the 2022 FERA Annual Meeting in order to ensure that the paper presentation is included in the program and appears in the program bulletin. Registration includes membership in FERA. The FERA conference program will include all teacher inquiry papers, research papers, graduate student posters, and symposia on topics and issues of current interest to education professionals, especially those in Florida. Typical FERA audience members include university and college researchers, district and school leaders, and teacher researchers. FERA is the state affiliate of the American Educational Research Association (AERA).

FERA 2024 Roundtable Discussion
This is the first time FERA will hold a roundtable format at FERA. Presenters will discuss
an ongoing research project. This format is best suited for small group discussions. The Round
Table format provides an excellent opportunity for researchers to share ideas that may still be in
a formative or developmental phase and receive feedback through the dialog that ensues as
participants engage in conversations about related issues and research proposals. Participants
will be grouped by topic and there will be a chair to facilitate interaction. The session tables will
be arranged to maximize discussion and interactions with 10 individuals at most per table. This
session will be scheduled for 75 minutes with 4-5 presenters at a time. There will be no
audiovisual equipment or audio at the session. If you wish to use a laptop, please make sure it
is fully charged since there might be no power source available.
