TDD PROGRAM COMMITTEE
The TDD Program Committee is composed of leaders and teachers of ELSA member schools. Members are educators with outreach who attend local and international conferences and can propose speakers and topics of interest in education. The TDD Program Committee is responsible for reviewing speaker proposals, selecting the topics and sessions that will compose the program and for the general organization of the conference. The Committee meets several times a year between April and January.

Volunteers
The Program Committee needs volunteers to lend a hand with the organization of the conference. Depending on the area of assistance it is not necessary to attend all or any meetings. Volunteers can contribute to the preparation of the conference or bring support on the day of the conference.
Suggesting Speakers
The Program Committee welcomes suggestions for speakers. If you have attended a valuable workshop and think the speaker deserves to be considered for the Teacher Development Day kindly contact the Committee providing the speaker's name and contact details as well as detailed information on the speaker's area of research, interest and sessions proposed.
Speaker Submissions
The Program Committee accepts suggestions for topics from speakers throughout the year. If you would like to present a workshop we encourage you to submit your name and contact information, brief biography and session abstract for each presentation. The Program Committee reviews closely all submissions. Submissions for the 2016 conference must be received by November 2015. We encourage you to have a look at past programs. Please note that our audience is not ESL-oriented.
