EPB Covention Program Supplement

The Educational Policies Board (EPB) Convention Program Supplement is designed to assist convention-goers by highlighting programming created to address communication education generally and for the communication educator specifically. The Supplement lists programming that examines training and development, the teaching-learning process, curriculum, teaching assistants, professional development, K-12 issues, and related matters which have been culled from the NCA Convention Program. Please consult the NCA Convention Program 2009 for more specific information and to ensure accuracy as a result of last-minute room changes. For further information about the Educational Policies Board, including its mission and project ideas, please contact the Board Director, Lynn Disbrow, Wright State University, at lynn.disbrow@wright.edu.
