anticipated event at our breakfast business meeting.  Your contribution in
support of our division would be greatly appreciated!

innovative research methods or techniques that can contribute more
generally to education research are encouraged to apply. The deadline for
submitting proposals for the Spring 2012 Cycle is 11:59 PM Eastern Time on
February 15, 2012. The Call and Guidelines for Conference Proposals is
available on the AERA website at http://www.aera.net/. For further

5. DRE Survey. The Directors of Research and testing in school
districts of 5,000 students+ asre drafting a survey. They need some people
to take the survey and give feedback -- what was not clear, what should
have been asked and was not, how long it took you to complete it, etc.
When the survey is completed several organizations, including Div H, will
send it out to membership for completion. If you can help at the drafting
stage please e-mail feedback to Joe O'Reilly. The survey can be found at:

6. Graduate Student Heads Up. Several items of interest:

6a. Know a graduate student that would like to be our incoming Junior Rep
next year? Applications will be out soon.

6b. We'll have coffee mentorships again this year at AERA. Watch for the
applications.

6c. Again this year, we're going to solicit graduate student on-going
research for roundtables at our  graduate student orientation session at
AERA. This is outside the regular proposal submission system. Be watching
for the announcement.
