| 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!
