Welcome to the website of the International Conference on
Education Research. In 2010, the Conference will be held at the
New
Orleans Hilton Riverside.
Kerry Lassiter will deliver a keynote address at the meeting, "Research Guiding Literacy Practices in Louisiana." Dr. Lassiter is the Executive Director for PreK-12 Literacy at the Louisiana Department of Education. She has received numerous awards, including selection as Louisiana Principal of the year, the Fouquier Education Leadership Award, and Fulbright Scholar.
This conference will
draw together faculty, researchers and
education professionals from various fields
within education and provide them with the
opportunity to interact with colleagues from the
same and related fields. An
additional goal of the conference is to provide
a place for academicians and professionals with
cross-disciplinary interests related to
education to meet and interact with members
outside their own particular
disciplines.
Cross-disciplinary proposal submissions are particularly
encouraged as is participation by international
scholars. The research areas represented will
include:
-
Art Education; Music Education

Participants
are welcome to submit a paper proposal to present either a 30-minute paper
presentation, or to jointly present a
90-minute colloquium session. We try
to organize similar presentations in tracks throughout the conference. The type of papers presented include: research (qualitative or quantitative), theoretical articles, as well as papers
prepared by practitioners that deal with application, best practices, and
case studies.
Due to the
interdisciplinary nature of the meeting, presenters are able to receive
feedback from researchers from a different subfield, often bringing up ideas
or concepts that might otherwise be overlooked in a subject specific silo.
It is a presenter’s conference and we strongly encourage people to attend
sessions through the entire three day conference. The conference
registration fee includes a plated lunch each day of the conference, as well
as an opening night reception, providing attendees an opportunity to meet
and get to know each other.
Speakers at previous related conferences include: Peter Levine, CIRCLE, Richard Niemi,
University of Rochester, Carolyn Pereira, Constitutional Rights Foundation,
Trey Grayson, Kentucky Secretary of State.
These conferences are now held in cities in North America. A previous conferences was held in Vancouver. Future conferences will be held in Orlando and in Las Vegas. We have held Civic Education specific conferences in New Orleans, Reno, Orlando, and Nashville.
Hotel rates at the
New Orleans Hilton Riverside are
only $149 for a single or double room.
