Posted February XX, 2018 – About XX professors and graduate students from the University of Houston College
of Education will share their research on school leadership, science instruction and
other critical topics at the upcoming Association of Teacher Educators conference in Las Vegas, NV.
"AERA is the gathering place where researchers meet to present, debate and share ideas about the state of education from across the globe," said Jerome Freiberg, the college's John and Rebecca Moores Professor and an AERA fellow.
Freiberg, a classroom management expert and founder of two AERA special interest groups, will present on his paper "Sustaining Classroom Management Change at a Large British Secondary School Over 14 Years."
The AERA conference, which will take place from April 27 to May 1, will draw thousands of emerging and veteran scholars. The theme this year is "Knowledge to Action: Achieving the Promise of Equal Educational Opportunity."
"I always find it reinvigorating to step outside of the bubble of my research and my own thinking to hear from folks I don’t interact with on a regular basis," said UH College of Education Assistant Professor Virginia Snodgrass Rangel, who will present research on an instrument designed to measure teachers’ level of empowerment. She worked in collaboration with Wallace Dominey, executive director of the college's STEM Teaching Equity Project; Andrew Kapral, director of the equity project; and Milijana Suskavcevic, formerly at UH.
Sissy Wong, an associate professor of science education at the college, said she hopes to gain feedback from colleagues in other specialty areas. She is presenting one poster session, "Understanding Nature of Science: A Two-Year Study with Middle School Science and Mathematics Teachers," and one paper session, "What Science Teachers Notice: Development of a Rubric to Assess Middle School Science Teachers' Noticing."
"What we are doing is pretty novel right now," Wong said. "I hope we can make connections with others doing this work."
