Div. 31 is working quickly to transition our program to the virtual platform that will be utilized for convention this year. Given how quickly everyone has had to make this adjustment, there are still some questions to be answered. We will continue to send notices out to the listserv as more information comes in, so please watch for announcements in the coming weeks. Here is what we know at this time:
The cost of convention is as follows:
- APA member, fellow, associate, APA community college teacher affiliate, APA international affiliate: $50 (originally $315)
- APA student affiliate, APAGS member, APA high school teacher affiliate: $15 (originally $100)
- Nonmember full-time student: $30 (originally $195)
- Nonmember of APA: $75 (originally $495)
You will have access to all available content to watch at your convenience for 12 months: Content may include any of the following: video, slides, handouts, and/or resource lists.
There will be a discussion tool that will allow people the opportunity to ask questions of the presenters (We have not received much information about how this tool will operate, so please stay tuned).
Continuing education credit will not be provided by APA this year. Div. 31 is exploring some options to partner with other organizations to provide CEs. However, this must be done as a stand-alone presentation and likely on a different online platform than what APA is offering.
Many of the presentations will be shorter than the originally stated times. APA has recommended doing approximately 15-20 minutes per hour that would have been presented in person to address the video conference fatigue many of us are experiencing.
Div. 31 will be holding two scheduled events as part of the convention.
- Executive Committee Meeting, Aug. 7, 2020, 11 a.m. EST
- Div. 31 Social Hour and Awards Ceremony, Aug. 7, 2020, 7 p.m. EST
Unfortunately, this change in format does not work for every session Div. 31 planned on offering. We are working to confirm the presentations that will be part of the program and will b e sending that information out to the listserv as soon as possible. We will look forward to connecting with you all virtually since we will not see you in person!
If you have any questions, please contact me and I will be happy to pass along any information I have. You can read over the Frequently Asked Questions and the Resources for Presenters for additional information.
