FELC Call for Proposals...Reminder!

The Foodservice Educators Learning Community is pleased to announce its second call for proposals to be showcased at the Second Annual Summit to be held in Charleston, South Carolina, February 25-27, 2010. The call for proposals is designed to give educators a chance to enrich our learning community and add to their vitae by proposing to do stand-up presentations, panel discussions, roundtables, workshops, and poster sessions in either a refereed or non-refereed track that constitute best practices that will enhance the quality of teaching in culinary arts and hospitality.


Because we are keenly aware that many culinary arts and hospitality educators find that students seem to struggle with courses that have a math component – in part or whole – we are seeking proposals from educators to share what they have done to effectively teach this elusive skill to students. As mentioned above, there are up to five different ways to showcase the way in which you have “cracked the student math code” so choose the option that works the best for you.

Although we are seeking proposals for best practices in teaching math, we will accept proposals concerning all aspects of teaching practices, principles, issues, concerns, and philosophies at the secondary and post-secondary levels in areas such as: assessment, accreditation, curriculum, effective use of teaching techniques, putting Green into the curriculum, diversity awareness, handling difficult students, study abroad programs, and more.

The deadline for submitting a proposal is midnight, November 1, 2009. Those submitting a proposal will be notified by December 1, as to whether or not accepted for the Summit. For more details visit http://www.fooded.org/annualsummit.html
