Dear AERA SIG Officers:
Under the leadership of AERA's 2008-2009 President Lorraine McDonnell, the AERA Council will be exploring ways in which AERA can play a more active role in the development of AERA members' research capacity (such as, by holding workshops on campuses; by having more professional development opportunities outside the Annual Meeting, including online seminars). There was also interest in thinking more systematically about how AERA might focus on teaching practice with regard to education research (such as, in the way the American Political Science Association does in PS or the American Statistical Association does in its workshops on campuses).
In preparation for Council's discussion in July, Lorraine McDonnell has asked that the Central Office collects information from divisions and SIGs on the following topics:
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance. I would appreciate hearing from you by Friday, June 13 if possible. Please kindly send your response to me at pstevenson@aera.net.
Warm regards,

In preparation for Council's discussion in July, Lorraine McDonnell has asked that the Central Office collects information from divisions and SIGs on the following topics:
- Please list and briefly describe any professional development or mentoring activities which your SIG has provided during the past 2 to 3 years. Please include information on the target audience (such as, graduate students, junior faculty, etc.) and roughly how many mentors/instructors and participants were involved. These activities can include pre-Annual Meeting professional development courses, activities during the Annual Meeting, mentoring events, online forums, and other capacity building activities.
- Please list other meetings and conferences held outside of the AERA Annual Meeting. Please describe any mid-year meetings or conferences your SIG has featured in the past 2 to 3 years. Were these meetings sponsored solely by the SIG or were they jointly sponsored with another organization? Were these events open to all interested persons or by invitation only?
- Based on your involvement and experience with other scholarly and research societies, please list the activities offered by those associations. This can be a simple list that will help AERA explore new opportunities.
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance. I would appreciate hearing from you by Friday, June 13 if possible. Please kindly send your response to me at pstevenson@aera.net.

We've had invited speakers at the SIG business meetings, and the dissertation award is a nice way to encourage new researchers.
