> - Methodological Advancements in Research on School Effectiveness and
> Improvement
> - Educational policy-making and the politics of change and improvement
> - Professional development and professionalization in education: Using
> different approaches to improve teacher effectiveness
>
> Participants are invited to present proposals discussing approaches to
> promote quality in education. We encourage proposals that examine how
> researchers, policy makers and practitioners work together across roles to
> create more effective schools and systems. Individuals or groups submitting
> proposals are asked to reflect on one or more of these themes in their
> papers or presentations. All conference presentation proposals must be
> submitted by the 10th of September 2010. An email to confirm receipt of
> proposals will be sent within a 48-hour period.
