NERA ’09: Using Educational Research to Improve Student Learning for 40 Years … And Still Going Strong!

The ability to bring together professionals from various fields associated with educational research with the goal of learning from each other has helped NERA become a conference that many look forward to year after year. In a region with such active and respected members and affiliated institutions, NERA still manages to maintain that feeling of intimacy that encourages us to welcome new friends and colleagues while reconnecting with those we have cherished throughout the years. To honor this tradition, we will celebrate the 40th NERA conference with a birthday party in addition to the sessions and receptions that bring us together each year. We hope you’ll join us for the festivities!
