Proposal Review Questionnaire

April 1, 2026/in Regular membership/by Andrew Rodbro

Thank you for your help in planning a successful program for the IATE 2026 Fall Conference: Rethinking Education: Pedagogical Moves to Create a More Equitable Classroom.

Answer the questions below to rate the presentation proposals you received. Your responses will help the Conference Planning Committee prioritize presentations with respect to scheduling at a suitable time and in a suitably-sized room for each presentation. Your input will also be helpful in ensuring clarity in program descriptions.

Please complete this form separately for each of the proposals you review (e.g., if you receive ten proposals, submit this form ten times, once for each proposal). Please select the best answer according to your professional judgement. Provide comments when necessary. It is not expected for you to comment on every question, only for the answer selections that ask for clarification.

Please answer honestly using your best professional judgement. The Conference Planning Committee asks you to provide your name and email address below for the purpose of our contacting you for clarifications. Your name may be listed in the conference program to recognize your contribution to the conference planning, but IATE does not reveal who reviews a specific proposal.

Names of presenters will not be revealed, but if you recognize the session description of a colleague you know personally, we ask that you recuse yourself from reviewing that proposal (but you may continue reviewing other proposals). Please contact Planning Committee member Andrew Rodbro at arodbro@iateonline.org, so another reviewer can be assigned to that proposal.

DEADLINE: 18 April 2025

If you will not able to complete all of the reviews by the deadline, please contact Andrew Rodbro at arodbro@iateonline.org so that another review can be assigned to your reviews.
