Districts in Research and Reform Dissertation and Report Awards

2009 AERA District SIG Awards

Outstanding Dissertation Award and Outstanding Research Report Award

Call for Nominations

The District Special Interest Group of the American Educational Research Association wishes to honor authors who reflect the SIG mission to promote research and dialogue featuring district central office administrators and/or school board members as key actors in school reform.

The 2009 award—to be presented at the 2009 AERA District SIG Business Meeting—is given for an outstanding dissertation and/or an outstanding research report completed during the previous two years (June 2006-August 2008). The SIG defines “research report” as any completed scholarly product, meeting standards of high-quality educational research, submitted (for example) to a research agency, posted online, or written for a funder or philanthropy.

The individual submitting the nomination must provide one electronic version and one hard copy to the Awards Committee along with the nomination form. For further information contact David Gamson (information below). In 2010, we will present an award for an outstanding research publication (article, book, or book chapter) published between July 2007 and August 2009.
