Please plan to provide the NREA information about your proposed presentation on a disc in PowerPoint, PDF format, or email. Also, symposium presenters will be invited to submit their manuscripts for publication in The Rural Educator, a peer-edited publication of the NREA.
The NREA Executive Committee has established a $500 award, the Howard A. Dawson Best Research Paper Award, to be presented to the author of the paper that is judged to be the Best Research Paper. The award will be presented at the Symposium and the recipient of the award will present the Best Research Paper during the Research Symposium.
A draft program for the NREA research Symposium is attached.
Please review the list of presentation strands that could be included in the Symposium. Studies chosen may be blocked in presentation clusters, with no more than three presentations per cluster.
