The 2010 Conference theme, Instructional Innovation for the Next Decade, was chosen in part because of the current economic climate in California. As educators and students struggle with budget cuts, it is even more important to implement effective instructional innovations. This conference will give researchers at universities and school districts the opportunity to present research findings related to the following strands within this theme:
              • Determining Teacher Effectiveness
              • Use of Technology
              • Considerations for Special Populations
              • Data Systems to Support Improvement and Changing Paradigms of Instruction
              • School Organization

Information about keynote speakers for the 2010 Conference will be added as soon as it becomes available.
