Review Process and Criteria
- Proposals are submitted as abstracts of 300–400 words through the submission system, with track and format tags.
- The Program Chairs screen each proposal for scope and completeness and check it for plagiarism.
- Each proposal receives at least two double-blind reviews. Practice proposals are reviewed by one researcher and one experienced teacher or teacher educator.
- If the two scores differ widely, a Track Chair or a third reviewer decides.
- Full papers submitted for the proceedings go through a second review against publication standards.
