NASP Call for Webinar Proposals
NASP is now accepting proposals for its 2025 webinar series. The deadline for submission is September 1, 2024 5:00 p.m. ET and presenters will be notified via email by mid-October 2024 regarding the status of their proposals.
NASP webinars are an effective way to foster new voices within the field and engage school psychology professionals on crucial educational topics and emerging issues. These sessions ideally provide participants with best practices, effective solutions, strategies for direct application, and quality resources that help participants provide effective services.
NASP webinars typically run 60 minutes, with 45-50 minutes of presentation and 10-15 minutes to address participants' questions. Presenters are also expected to provide handouts and resources, and to contribute to our A Closer Look blog. This is an exciting opportunity for you to share your knowledge and experience and contribute to the field of school psychology.
NASP welcomes submissions covering a broad spectrum of webinar topics. Nevertheless, we particularly encourage proposals that delve into three key areas: 1) Services aimed at fostering Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Justice 2) Comprehensive implementation of the School Psychology Practice Model, and 3) Strategies aimed at enhancing the efficiency and management of School Psychologist job roles. Presentation proposals will be selected based on certain general criteria:
- Quality of the proposal (e.g., description and learning objectives well written and aligned with the needs of the profession)
- Grounding in research and evidence-based practice
- Practical application
- Evidence of previous presentation experience and expertise among the presenter(s)
- Adequate attention to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice issues related to the topic.
Interested parties should review the FAQ for Webinar Presenters (see below) before completing the Webinar Proposal Application. Applications must be submitted via the online Webinar Proposal Application no later than September 1, at 5:00pm ET. Proposals submitted by any other means or after the deadline will not be accepted.
Frequently Asked Questions for Webinar Presenters
We typically prefer webinars that have a clear practical focus for working professionals in schools, with more focus on practical application than theory or background knowledge. Our proposal reviewers will rate proposals on quality, grounding in research and evidence-based practices, practical application, and speaker quality (e.g., evidence of previous successful presentations). Presenters are also expected to address issues of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice within the context of their topic.
Generally, we use the Zoom platform.
Participants can submit questions throughout the webinar, which will be moderated and facilitated for you. How questions will be handled can be discussed before the webinar. Presenters may also engage participants using the live polling feature.
We ask that all presenters do the following:
- Complete the Webinar Authorization Form.
- Develop an eight-question multiple choice test.
- Write a brief entry for NASP’s “A Closer Look” blog.
- Provide resources to share beyond the PowerPoint slides (e.g., articles, manuscripts, manuals, scripts).
- Agree to have their presentation recorded for on-demand viewing.
- Consider the accessibility of your powerpoint slides and presentation for all audiences.
A practice “tech” run will be scheduled with you so you have time to familiarize yourself with the format and technology.
Yes.
Typically within a week.
NASP retains rights to the recording and the webinar, but the presenter still has intellectual ownership of the content. In other words, nothing would prevent the presenter from using the same content in future presentations.
Willingness to share your webcam for some or all of the presentation and willingness to share your email at the end of the presentation for attendees to contact you directly with questions.
Expect to hear something within about 1 to 2 months after the proposal deadline.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact [email protected]. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
