February Email Newsletter 2023
Dear Educational Change SIG Members,
Holy Smokes - it's already mid-February! Sending you all warm wishes and with growing excitement for AERA!
On that note, I am going to make this super brief and share a new Lead the Change as well as share the winners for our awards. Wahoo!!!
First, this month’s Lead the Change is focused on celebrating our sessions at AERA and specifically those pertaining to Transforming Education and Teacher Education. This mini-series features our presenters and their work as a preview to AERA. We will be doing this for all the sessions. Please enjoy and we encourage you to reach out to the authors directly either via email or in person at AERA
Enjoy!
