Call for Posters

to be considered for presentation at the

2018 North-Central American Association for Agricultural Education Conference

        October 4 - 6, 2018 in Fargo, ND

*Research posters are now submitted with the paper review process. Refer to that call for more information.

Innovative poster abstracts which report a completed idea, concept, or innovation that have not been previously reported at any AAAE Regional Agricultural Education Research Conference or the National AAAE Research Conference will be considered for acceptance. All abstract submissions will be peer reviewed.

Poster abstracts must be authored or co-authored by AAAE members in good standing.  If you are unsure of your membership status, you can email Marilyn Trefz (trefz.2@osu.edu) to check your membership status several weeks in advance of the submission deadline. Posters without at least one current AAAE member will be rejected.

New this year for North Central AAAE – Please read carefully!

One poster session category (type) will be accepted with this review procedure-- Innovative Idea (teaching, process and products). Innovative Idea posters must be a new idea or the creative modification of an existing idea. The innovative idea must be implemented prior to submission.

Poster narratives must be of potential regional or national significance focusing in the areas of teaching, communications, extension and/or leadership. A peer review evaluation process will be used based on the established evaluation forms. Evaluation will be based upon the poster abstract, design and display, presentation, communication of presenter, significance to the profession, and innovation of idea. Once accepted, posters will be presented at the North Central Region Conference. 

Format

The poster abstract should have these heading/sections when appropriate:

ABSTRACT FORMAT
