The AERA Teacher as Researcher SIG is dedicated to supporting research done in schools by PreK-12 practitioners on their own practice.  While this work can be conducted in collaboration with other researchers, it should reflect equity of initiation, data collection, analysis and presentation, with teachers sharing primary credit and responsibility.  We are the only special interest group whose core purpose is the articulation and representation of classroom teachers' perspectives by the classroom teachers themselves.

As we officially enter the summer season, we have some exciting updates from the Teacher as Researcher SIG!

First, we invite you to submit a proposal to share your research at the 2026 Annual Meeting through the Teacher as Researcher SIG. We look forward to reviewing proposals that align with our mission to support PreK-12 classroom teachers in designing, creating, conducting, and sharing classroom focused research from the PreK-12 practitioner perspective. Please see attachment for more information.

Second, our co-program chairs are hosting monthly virtual meetings to support our members in proposal writing!  In the first session, on July 7th from 6:30 - 7:30 EST, Susanne and Lisa Rose will review the TAR-SIG rubric and share prior successful papers, while also saving time to network and ask questions.
