Late Night Ideas

So earlier this week as I was preparing to teach my class on Wednesday morning, I lamented over the best way to get the material and information across to the students...I am after all a novice teacher :)

And as with my writing I suffered from the same problem....the bright idea or solution didn't come to until the 11th hour. I wonder though am I the only doc student who has this problem? It has plagued me since I started college and I just really wish I could fix it.....I am having the same problem now as I finish up preparing to teach in the morning. This time to Doc and Masters level students....I am sitting on the edge already and haven't even gotten in front of the class.....

IGI Global: Call for Chapter Details

IGI Global: Call for Chapter Details

So I am really thinking I have something to offer to this Handbook but alas I am wondering if I should really commit myself to attempting another publication in the next few months. But hey deadlines are always great and I seem to do so much better when I have a few close together.

So I think I am going to work on a proposal and get it submitted by June 30th.

Hopefully I will get accepted. My topic will be on post secondary transition programs for students with intellectual disabilities.  I intend to focus on best practices learned from the first year of a new program through a community partnership at a urban public university in the U.S.

So there it is another publication idea is born and I am going to begin working on it on Friday.

Good luck Keisha :)

Dissertation proposal, conference proposal, publications

writing this entry from the library at FIU - BBC

So this week my goal is to get my chapter 3 completed and boy oh boy is everything else getting in the way of that progress.

This morning I also tried to go through email and well that reminded me that I needed to decide what conferences I was submitting proposals to....Well I have decided that I am submitting to at least 5 conferences this year and yes if I get accepted then I will attend.
1. AERA
2. AAACE - already submitted
3. AHRD
4. NASPA
5. FIU COE-GSN conference

Wow I figured this has to be the year of productivity and I am ceasing the opportunity to make it just that.

I am also going to turn those papers or presentations into papers by the end of 2013....
Current publications ideas include:
1. Case Study: Female Jamaican Immigrants and their Experiences with Conflict in the U.S. Workplace
2. Conflict in the Workplace: Technology and Conflict Management
3. Social Axioms: What HRD Professionals should know
4. Examining the link between Job Satisfaction and Job Performance

Then I also have two book reviews that need to be completed hopefully by December. One is actually due in July.

So yes as you can imagine I have a busy month ahead of me and I am up for the challenge.
