- Week 4 - AssignmentResearch and Educational
ChangeOne aspect of professional development
that educators can participate in is that of
educational conferences. While you may at some
point have participated in an educational
conference as an attendee, you have the
opportunity in this assignment to think as a
presenter! This assignment will also provide you
the opportunity to create a Curriculum Vitae (CV)
and cover letter.In this assignment, you will
take your discussion presentation you prepared
for the staff meeting and convert it into a
poster that you could use at an academic
conference. As well, often when submitting a
poster proposal you include a CV and cover letter
that highlight your experience and research
interests.Historically, a conference poster
session involves use of a large poster-board
style document as a reference when speaking with
conference attendees about your research or
practical experiences with a topic. Increasingly,
the poster session involves handouts in digital
format transferred through QR codes or another
medium and may involve a television or other
screen display to communicate your research at an
academic conference. Always, your poster
presentation contains a title, introduction to
your question, overview of your approach, results
from your study or experience, and your planned
next steps in applying or expanding the

previously published articles that are important
to your research, and a brief acknowledgement to
those who helped you with the study.Your poster,
in whatever format it is presented at the
