Are you an undergraduate preservice teacher with research or a presentation to share?
Share Your Research & Be Considered for an Award!
Undergraduate Preservice Teacher Presentations are eligible to be considered for the Student Research Award. If you are interested in being considered, be sure to review the award guidelines carefully and select the award consideration option when submitting your proposal.
This is an exciting opportunity to share your work, contribute to the NASUP community, and have your presentation considered for recognition.
