Graduate students represent the future of educational research, evaluation, policy, and leadership in California. Therefore, CERA is launching an initiative to increase graduate student membership and to offer additional opportunities for graduate student participation.


We are kicking off this program with some exciting new opportunities for students currently enrolled in graduate programs throughout the state.


(NEW) Graduate Study Poster Session in the 2010 Annual Conference in San Diego: CERA encourages submission of Graduate Study Poster Session proposals for the upcoming conference, whose theme is "Instructional Innovation for the Next Decade." The graduate study materials must have been completed while enrolled as a graduate student in a California college or university. Participants will present their papers in a 90-minute poster format during the conference. The Poster Session will provide opportunities for individualized, informal discussion of student research and socializing with conference attendees. Your participation will help to increase awareness of graduate student contributions to the field of education. Proposals are due September 17, 2010. More information about the Conference is available on the Upcoming Events Web page.


(NEW) Graduate Student Outstanding Paper Award: CERA invites graduate student authors of original, unpublished articles to submit their papers by September 17, 2010 to be considered for the Graduate Student Outstanding Paper. More information is available in the 2010 Graduate Student Outstanding Paper Award.
