Fall 2011 Conference
Call for Papers
The Fall 2011 SREE research conference “Building an Education Science: Improving Mathematics and Science Education for All Students” will be held September 8-10 in Washington, DC.
The conference will include symposia and paper presentations, a virtual poster session, plenary sessions, and professional development workshops and short courses on research methods.
For information on the meeting, visit the American Chemical Society website.
The Seventh International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry will take place at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign from May 17-21, 2011. The theme of the 2011 Congress is "Qualitative Inquiry and the Politics of Advocacy." Increasingly in these troubling political times qualitative researchers are called upon to make their work relevant. They are encouraged to pursue social justice agendas, to be human rights advocates, to do work that honors the core values of human dignity, and freedom from fear and violence.
Core Curriculum Must Build a Bridge from Standards to Achievement
A group brought together by the Albert Shanker Institute makes a “A Call for Common Content.” “Shared curriculum in the core academic subjects would give shape and substance to the standards, and provide common ground for the creation of coherent, high-quality instructional supports — especially texts and other materials, assessments, and teacher training.”
