Inaugural Academy of Management Teaching and Learning Conference (TLC@AOM)

We are pleased to announce a new, full-day conference featuring interactive teaching-focused sessions. The inaugural TLC@AOM conference will be held during the first weekend of the 2013 Academy of Management meeting, Sunday, August 11, in Buena Vista, Florida. A copy of the Academy 揝trategic Doing� proposal that established this conference may be found online at https://docs.google.com/open?id=0By-dU53mnJ5gXzNYR28xcWZPeWs.

The goal of TLC@AOM is to engage members across all divisions in the Academy in advancing the practice of teaching. Located in the annual meeting hotels, TLC@AOM will feature both submitted and invited speakers and end with open space sessions (guided by attendees� interests).

We encourage submissions in a variety of possible formats:

Incubator � 15 minute presentation on a teaching or assessment practice (similarly themed proposals will be bundled into 30 or 60 minute sessions)

Catalyst � 30 minute interactive demonstration or discussion of particular practices, challenges, or opportunities

Topical � 60 minute interactive session that includes some combination of presentation, discussion, participant reflection and application, simulation, or other forms of interactivity.

In-depth � 90 minute interactive workshop offering a fuller exploration of a particular subject, course, or activity.

Proposals are encouraged but not limited to the following timely themes: (1) Achieving teaching excellence while balancing other career responsibilities and priorities; (2) Ensuring continuous improvement and innovation in teaching; (3) Designing and redesigning curriculum; (4) Fixing problems that arise with students and teaching assistants; (5) Mentoring doctoral students and junior faculty; (6) Assessing learning and all its associated challenges; (7) Teaching in new formats (e.g., online and/or experiential); (8) Building and leveraging networks across geographic, national, and disciplinary boundaries. We also encourage submitters to propose sessions designed to appeal to specific audiences, such as doctoral students, new tenure-track faculty, adjunct faculty, mid-career faculty, senior faculty, or program directors and deans.

Submissions will be peer reviewed, applying a protocol similar to that used for other Academy events. Criteria reviewers will be asked to consider include: Strong interest and relevance (to an identified group of participants), dynamic and interactive session (less applicable to incubator sessions), applicability to multiple Academy divisions or interest groups, clear proposal narrative and session format, and useful 搕ake-aways� for participants.

Proposals must be submitted as Adobe Acrobat files. Proposals, including the mandatory cover sheet, may not exceed 6 pages. As appropriate, proposals may link to online resources or videos for further clarification. Any such ancillary material must be easily accessible to reviewers.

To submit a proposal, or ask questions about the process, email Jim Spee, Program Chair, at TLC@aom.org. Inquiries are welcome through December 14, 2012. Final proposals must be received by January 15, 2013, 5pm ET (New York time).  Because the conference is administered independently from the rest of the AOM program, separate registration including a registration fee ($100) will be required and attendance at all sessions will be limited to registrants.
