Round Table Topic Discussions at the INSA Conference
- Do you have a new idea about school attendance that you would like to discuss with colleagues?
- Are you curious about a particular school attendance topic?
- Do you have a special interest within school attendance that you think others might share?
If so, please submit a Round Table Topic for discussion at the INSA Conference.
In a Round Table Topic Discussion, a small group participates in a scholarly discussion and exchange of ideas around a topic of relevance. A Round Table Topic is proposed by one or two ‘speakers’ who present ideas or questions and invite others to participate. The speaker stimulates the discussion and is an equal participant rather than an authority.
INSA Round Table Topic Discussions will run for 35 minutes (including presentation and discussion) and will have up to 10 participants including the speaker(s). Handouts may be provided. Projectors for powerpoint presentations will NOT be available.
Please submit your abstract via the online form by 24th May 2019.
