Best Proposal Award

Best Proposal Award

Purpose

This award recognizes high quality TED Concurrent Session proposals at the annual convention. 

Requirements

This award has no application. After all proposals have been reviewed for the annual convention, the five or six highest-rated Concurrent Session proposals (NOT workshops, roundtables, Inspire sessions, TED Camps, and Posters) are considered for this award. Proposers do not have to be members of TED but the proposal has to have been submitted for a TED session. Proposals can be authored by multiple individuals of any position and rank (e.g., full professor, graduate student, pre- or in-service teacher, practitioner). 

Procedure

Following proposal reviews, the Conference Planner (generally the TED President Elect) will identify the five or six concurrent sessions with the highest review ratings. They will remove any identifying information and share those with members of the TED board.

Decisions

The five or six proposals are reviewed by TED board members with the current Past President acting as chair. The chair may also organize an awards committee made up of no more than five TED members to help review proposals. In the past, only one proposal has been selected per year.

Award Details

Awardees are given a certificate during the TED Membership Meeting at the Annual Convention.
