Thoughts on Education Policy: AERA

AERA

I'm here in lovely Denver attending the American Educational Research Association's conference. I'll be updating with some thoughts on interesting presentations I see over the next few days . . . as long as I don't freeze first. My initial impression of Denver is distinctly positive, but waking up to snow yesterday morning after wearing shorts and a t-shirt the previous day was a bit of a shock to the system. If anybody else is here, please feel free to seek me out and say hi.

About the Blog

After trying to teach middle school in the Bronx for two years, I decided to pursue a PhD in education policy. After seven years teaching at two different universities, I decided to enter the non-profit world where I could have more of an impact on the ground. While my research interests center on urban poverty and social policy, I try to stay abreast of all the latest happenings in education.

This blog is aimed at anybody interested in education policy (including, but not limited to, teachers, researchers, parents, and the general public). I aim to thoughtfully, but somewhat concisely, explore each issue I come across or bring up. I aim neither to talk down to the general public nor to insult the intelligence of the experts. The purpose of this blog is not to criticize individuals; it is to stir thought. The purpose of this blog is also (usually) not to take sides or push a certain point of view but, rather, to productively contribute to the discussion surrounding each topic. Any opinions are purely my own and do not represent the views of my employer in any way.
