Justin Bathon in Educational Leadership

Next week, I will be in New York for AERA, the largest educational research conference in the world. It is a yearly pilgrimage for educational scholars ... however undesirable (it is really too big for my tastes and is always in the largest and costliest cities). Anyway, for those of you going, below are the Law and Education Special Interest Group presentations. For those of you not going, you can get a sense of what is important or hot in educational law by what gets presented at these conferences.

I will be blogging as much as possible, but it might be a little lighter next week depending on Internet Access. I am doing a lot with the Learning and Teaching in Educational Leadership SIG, so I am not sure if I will be able to catch all the Law and Education SIG presentations, but I will liveblog as many as I can. It will be my first time in New York, so I am sort of looking forward to it and sort of apprehensive. I do hope that I get to ride in the Cash Cab.
