Hey Meegen!! I love this. I think it's a great topic and something that a lot of people would want to learn about. I think that your idea of adding the risks and rewards of this model is a great one. (You might consider how academic writing in the humanities still worships at the alter of independent discovery and assertion and other disciplines expect the FY writing course to teach this to students.) I was wondering if it might be helpful to also assert the main payoff of your presentation a little earlier in the proposal, since it seems like the big takeaway is that we can use the ideas or strategies from other arenas of collaboration in the FY writing classroom specifically.

I definitely understand your concern about not wanting to close yourself in with the self-reporting, but it sounds to me like this would work even if you don't end up actually implementing this on a large scale in your classroom. Or you could just focus on a few activities you do in your classroom and use those as examples...? Anywho, this sounds like an awesome idea regardless of whether you want to send it out now or later.
