ISME Music in Schools and Teacher Education (MISTEC) Pre-Conference Seminar 2024 - Call for Papers
Aim
The 2024 ISME Music in Schools and Teacher Education Commission (MISTEC) Pre-Conference Seminar encourages submissions related to the theme of Sustaining and Building Resilience in Music Education. This theme supports the main ISME conference theme of Advocacy for Sustainability in Music Education. Accepted presentations from around the world will highlight ways to extend current theoretical and educational thinking, together with exchanging innovative practical approaches for music education, teacher education, and teacher retention. The collaboration fostered through this intimate, dialogic seminar enables the shared development of educational policies and practices geared towards sustaining and building resilience in music education.
Renowned for its inclusive, boutique-style Pre-Conference seminar, MISTEC provides some financial support for accommodation for the first authors/ presenters of spoken papers and workshops (not posters). Accordingly, full attendance and participation in the pre-conference seminar is expected of all presenters. This facilitates a ‘shared purpose and understanding’ that enables the Commission to have a sustainable and ongoing impact beyond the conference period. Additionally, to encourage presentations from areas where institutional support for travel expenses is limited, we will look to offer some travel awards to accepted paper and workshop presenters. Those wishing to be considered for the travel awards must indicate as such in their submission.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
The online submission system must be used (This has been closed since Nov 9, 2023). This system will be available to ISME members through the ISME conference website which will link with the members website to check membership. Every presenter or co-presenter must be an individual ISME member at the time of submission, at the time of acceptance and at the time of presenting. (If electronic submission is impossible, please contact the ISME International Office by September 30, 2023).
