Message from Division VP
Greetings from Division H VP
Virginia Snodgrass Rangel
As I enter my third and final year as the Division H Vice President, I want to start by sharing how much of a privilege and joy it has been—and continues to be—to serve our membership. The past two years have been busy, and the past several months have been challenging. Despite the challenges facing education and education research broadly, Division H remains committed to supporting and spotlighting high quality research from around the world that is related to program evaluation, accountability, and assessment. We also will proactively seek ways to support our members to help them grow and thrive as researchers.
The 2025 meeting in Denver was a success! Over 11,000 AERA members attended the conference. Division H hosted 10 symposia and 115 papers across our four sections. Those 115 papers were presented across 19 roundtables, 3 poster sessions, 3 paper sessions, and 8 virtual papers. Topics reflected the diversity of our members' interests and work, and we hope you were able to attend some of these sessions. We also held several VP sessions, including an outstanding Equity and Inclusion session on the impressive work that state agencies have done to integrate data into public-facing dashboards, two international sessions, and a session about youth participation in evaluation. I am so grateful to everyone who submitted to, reviewed for, and participated in the annual meeting.
I want to highlight that Division H's activities are not limited to the annual meeting. There are many opportunities to become involved throughout the year, and I hope you will become active if you are not already.
Opportunities include:
Mentor or be mentored (throughout the year!)
Review submissions for our graduate student research award program (July!)
Submit to or review submissions for our Outstanding Publications Competition (Due in December!)
Submit a paper to our pre-conference graduate student roundtable session (late fall and winter!)
Participate in an online professional development webinar (we are aiming to offer 4!)
We are building on the lessons from the 2025 annual meeting to begin planning the 2026 annual meeting, which will be held in Los Angeles. I hope you will submit a paper, volunteer to review, and become involved. Our success rests on your willingness to offer your expertise and we are more vibrant community because of you. Whether you are new to Division H or a returning member, you are welcome here. You may reach out to me with your questions or ideas:
