The National Council for History Education invites proposals on the theme “Exercising Power: Individuals and Institutions in History” for the 2019 National Conference.  All proposals will be evaluated on the following criteria:

• Demonstrates substantial connections to specific historical events and raises questions that are significant and appropriate to historical inquiry.
• Offers prospect of substantial audience engagement.
• Makes meaningful contributions to the teaching of history by demonstrating innovative pedagogical approaches and/or by providing extensive materials for classroom use.

NCHE encourages proposals that address issues of differentiated instruction and World History. 

Breakout sessions:  These teacher workshops are typically interactive “how to” sessions designed for the K-12 educator and are 50 minutes in length.
 
Mini Sessions: Mini Session topics range from teaching ideas to research reports. Presenters have 15 minutes to present information and answer questions. Each mini session typically includes 3 separate 15 minute presentations in the same room within a 50 minute time period.

Poster Session: Poster Session topics range from teaching ideas to research reports. Poster presenters display their information visually (ex. poster/display board) on a six foot table and interact with interested attendees during the 50-minute session. Presenters remain with their posters. The poster session period may include 8-15 simultaneous presenters.
