Elected SIG Leadership

On behalf of the SIG Steering Committee and the membership, I'd like to congratulate our newly-elected officers.

SIG Co-Chair: Jacob Mishook, from the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, has served on the SIG Steering Committee for several years and has been Acting Co-Chair and Awards Committee Chair this year. He will take the Co-Chair position on after the Annual Meeting of AERA this year, and will serve a two-year term.

SIG Treasurer/Secretary: Alan J. Daly, from the University of California San Diego, has served on the SIG Steering Committee for several years as well, and has served as Acting Treasurer this year and has served as Awards Committee Chair in past years. He will take the Treasurer/Secretary role after the Annual Meeting of AERA this year and serve a one-year term.

In addition, we want to recognize a new faculty member to the SIG Steering Committee, Tina Trujilo, Assistant Professor from the University of California, Berkeley, and our two graduate student representatives to the SIG Steering Committee, Christopher Cox, from Miami University of Ohio, and Joelle Rodway Macri, from the University of Toronto.

We greatly appreciate the past and continued service of our new officers, and welcome our new Steering Committee members. We look forward to the ongoing work of bringing together researchers and practitioners around critical issues of district research and reform.

We hope to see many of you in Vancouver. We have some interesting sessions on the schedule this year, and an exciting panel planned for the Business Meeting that will include a special discussion with representatives from district-research partnerships around the country. More information to follow.

Sincerely,

Kyo Yamashiro
SIG Co-Chair
