AERA16 Insider
December 2015

The 2016 Annual Meeting, held in AERA’s Centennial Year, will provide an important launching point for the second century of the association and the future of education research. Each year, the AERA Annual Meeting is the largest gathering of education researchers and a showcase for ground-breaking, innovative studies in a diverse array of areas. It is where to encounter ideas and data that will shape education practices and policies, and where to connect with leading thinkers from the U.S. and round the world. Leading up to the 2016 Annual Meeting, AERA16 Insider will provide a monthly glance at meeting highlights and features. Join us April 8-12 for five rewarding days of ideas, engagement, networking, and professional advancement.
