87th Annual CERA Conference

Effective Teaching & Learning: Evaluating Instructional Practices

Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa

Rancho Mirage, California

December 4 - 5, 2008




|  Exhibitor Information  |  Conference Program  | 
The California Educational Research Association (CERA) Annual Conference is the state’s premier event for educational researchers. Each year, close to 300 educational research leaders and educators from throughout the state attend CERA’s annual conference.

The 2008 theme of “Effective Teaching and Learning: Evaluating Instructional Practices” was chosen to give researchers at universities and school districts the opportunity to present research findings related to effective teaching and learning.  Just as important, the conference will provide a forum in which to present best practices in the field of educational evaluation.

Our keynote speakers for the 2008 conference are David Berliner, Regents Professor, Arizona State University and Russell Rumberger, Professor of Education, University of California, Santa Barbara and Director of the Linguistic Minority Research Institute.  In addition, David Long, California Secretary of Education, will address the Governor’s education agenda, barring any last minute conflicts.

The Annual Conference
CERA's annual conference provides members and others in the areas of educational research, institutional research, assessment, and evaluation an opportunity to meet and present their latest work to the field.

Traditionally, the conference has attracted educators from both K-12 and higher education.  Attendees include educational researchers, evaluators, and assessment coordinators from organizations such as:  
  • public school districts and county offices of education,
  • college and university schools of education,
  • private research and assessment companies and consultants, and
  • non-profit research organizations.
The CERA mission is to serve all who conduct educational research in California and the West by providing a forum for presenting research.  In addition to research conducted in school districts by local evaluation staff, proposals by college and university faculty and graduate students are encouraged and welcomed.

Join us at the 87th Annual CERA Conference!
