AERA 2012 annual meeting: Listing of presentations by UF education faculty, graduate students

INTRODUCTION

More than 70 University of Florida College of Education faculty and graduate students were among the 13,000 scholars from 60 nations who gathered in Vancouver for five days in April for the 93rd annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association to examine critical issues of education research and public policy.

More UF education faculty and students, from multiple education disciplines, attend AERA’s annual conference than any other professional meeting. The UF contingent included about 35 faculty and 38 graduate students in education. The massive AERA gathering is always a hotbed of new and exciting, research-based ideas about teaching and education issues and trends. UF presentations include pertinent topics such as:

— Ways for school leaders to assess emotional intelligence and burnout in teachers
— Literacy development for young children with disabilities
— Early childhood classroom intervention for reducing problem behaviors
— Using action research in professional development for virtual school educators
— Zero tolerance legislation: Do we really want to Leave No Child Behind?
— Analysis of schoolwide violence prevention programs

— The effect of debt and working on graduate students’ achievement

Albert Ritzhaupt

Busiest COE faculty presenters and participants at the conference were Albert Ritzhaupt (education technology) with six presentations and Walter Leite (research and evaluation methods) with five.

The following pages comprise an alphabetical listing of participating UF education faculty and graduate students, along with their respective presentation topics . . .

HOW LISTING WAS COMPILED: Listing data was copied directly from AERA’s online annual conference schedule and organized alphabetically by participants’ names. This is a partial listing intended merely to display level of participation and topics covered by UF education faculty and graduate students. Listing does not distinguish between presenters and non-presenting participants and co-investigators.
