"Accepting Educational Responsibility"
Education researchers are not merely scholars; we are also citizens of the places in which our scholarship is produced, disseminated, and implemented. Equity and justice in these places depend as much on our deep thinking as they do on what we do with what we know. Racism, xenophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, homophobia, and other manifestations of hate continually poison these places. Mass shootings occur in too many places close to where we live and do our academic work. Sexism, sexual harassment, and sexual assault occur too often within and beyond our workplaces. Myriad consequences of wealth inequity negatively affect people inside of and around the places where many of us think, teach, research, and write. Attendees of the 2021 AERA Annual Meeting will be empowered to accept greater responsibility for social problems that plague places around the world. Our identities as citizens and as scholars will be embraced.

The 2021 Annual Meeting Volunteer Reviewer System is Open
On behalf of AERA divisions, committees and SIGs, we strongly encourage you to volunteer to serve as a peer reviewer for the 2021 Annual Meeting.
Volunteer reviewers selected to join review panels will receive an invitation in early June for each unit for which you are selected. Submissions will be assigned to reviewers in early August. Reviewers will have a 3-week time period beginning August 10 to complete the reviews. Your willingness to volunteer as a reviewer will enable program chairs to select from reviewers representing the breadth of expertise in each subfield. |
About Us...
What is Division K?
Division K: Teaching and Teacher Education is a division of the American Educational Research Association (AERA). Division K explores research on a range of teaching and teacher development from preservice to induction, inservice and beyond. Under the new leadership of Division Vice President Dr. Dorothea Anagnostopoulos, Division K is focused on diversifying our members and research topics, partnering robustly with teachers, and promoting the crucial work of classrooms (see Dorothea Anagnostopoulos' first official message here). AERA recently celebrated its centennial in 2016, and we are looking forward to the next 100 years of educational research! |
"We need research that asks new questions and uses new methods to build our understanding of the challenges and opportunities for teaching and teacher education posed by new technologies, shifting policy terrains, and emerging social movements."

Goals...
Teaching
Division K's research on teaching draws from, and in turn, directly impacts the field. Teaching is comprised of a constellation of practices, among them: social, linguistic, scientific, political, historical, and artistic. Research on teaching takes on these myriad lenses to explore the complex processes of teaching and demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of education. |
Teacher Education
Schools of Education specifically are charged with preparing and leading the next generation of our nation's professionals. From early childhood to higher education, and all in-between, this is not a privilege we take lightly. Division K's research on teacher education aims to inform recruitment, retention, preparation, induction and development across the spectrum of the teaching profession. |
Teacher x Research
Division K recognizes teachers as researchers. Teachers engage in inquiry cycles, ways of seeing, collecting data, and iterating, individually or alongside university researchers, all for the goal of strengthening critical thought in ourselves and the students we guide. When such practice and research intersect, the result is potentially exponential: the creation of new modes of inquiry and learning impact that is greater than the sum of its parts. |
