CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS ISETA-2000 The Thirtieth Annual Conference of the International Society for Exploring Teaching Alternatives October 12-14, 2000 Los Angeles, California ISETA encourages college and university faculty and practitioners from all disciplines to study and apply the principles of teaching, learning, and asessment of learning in innovative ways to develop and implement practical, effective alternatives to the traditional text-lecture-test approach to instruction. The program committee invites proposals for 60 minute presentations that reflect these purposes. We are especially interested in presentations and workshops that demonstrate practical creative teaching alternatives, based on personal experiences and/or research, which will appeal to colleagues in several disciplines. We will also consider presentations on other topics relevant to the purpose of ISETA. Presenters should not read their papers, but should model teaching alternatives by engaging their audience in activity and dialogue. The ISETA conference offers a friendly, informal, and highly interactive gathering of professionals dedicated to the profession and scholarship of teaching and learning. The rich representation of disciplines from traditional liberal arts and sciences, engineering and the applied sciences, and a diverse set of professional schools gives us all new insights to achieving common goals of improving teaching and learning. ISETA conferences provide a professional forum for those who have something to share and the interactive nature of the presentations makes learners and teachers of us all.
