Have you recently had an exemplary instruction experience? Where the students were all fully engaged, the tech all worked perfectly, the time frame aligned perfectly with what you wanted to teach, and the research project was interesting and inspiring?  Congratulations!  
This is not THAT conference; however, maybe next year.

We’ve all had instruction sessions, lesson plans, or tutorials where something (large or small) has gone wrong. Some examples may include:
The classroom was unfamiliar
The Wi-Fi went down
The tech or database wasn’t working properly
Students behaved inappropriately
The instructor asked for one thing in planning, but had something different the day-of

What did you do? How did you fix it for next time? Any advice for librarians in similar situations? Come share with us at SCIL Works 2020 at CSU Long Beach.

This annual mini-conference offers librarians the opportunity to share their best practices, innovative pedagogy, and creative solutions with colleagues. SCIL Works 2020 will focus on the many ways in which instruction librarians have adapted and bounced back from lesson plans that didn’t quite work as expected.

We are accepting proposals for presentations in one of two formats:
Presentation: A  20-minute presentation where the presenter shares his/her research or an effective program or practice with participants, with an additional 5 minutes for Q&A.
Lightning Round: A live, 5-minute poster session or slide deck. This presentation could briefly describe a program or initiative, highlight an online tool or tutorial, or exhibit an assessment process or instrument.

Please complete the Proposal Submission Form by end of day,  Friday, November 22.  All submissions will be blind-reviewed by a panel. We anticipate that presenters will be notified that their submissions have been accepted by Friday, December 13. If you have questions about submitting, please contact Judith Opdahl, SCIL Chair at jopdahl@csusm.edu.
