Name and title are missing. Also, you need to tag your proposal with the appropriate tag: 2011Teacher, 2011Student, 2011Curricular or 2011Policy.

    Hi Richard - This looks better, but you can you please post your edits in your proposal? Click on Options in the upper right hand corner, and edit your discussion. Add tags by going to the bottom of your proposal and there is a field for tags. Use either 2011Teachers, 2011Students, 2011Curricular or 2011Policy. No spaces in between 2011 and whichever strand you choose. Make sure to save your changes, too.
    
    I don't know if you'll be able to edit as we've changed this category as the proposals are closed. Let me know if the above directions don't work for you.
    
    Lucy
