The CAERDA Annual International Conference serves as an open forum for interdisciplinary discussion and scholarly exchange of ideas among educational researchers and practitioners from around the world. The CAERDA Conference is held immediately before the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) at the same location. This affiliation provides added convenience and enriched experience for conference attendees to participate in the programs of both conferences. The 2015 conference will take place in April 15-16, 2015 at one of the AERA headquarter hotels in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The theme of the 2015 CAERDA Conference is “The Micro and Macro Issues of Educational Research in the Global Community.” As the world is turning into one global village within which we all share resources, it is more important than ever that we recognize individual beliefs and values from diverse groups across the world to promote a safe and harmonious learning environment. Educational researchers and practitioners from all over the world are obligated to create such a dialogue that will bring us together to work toward the common goal of a better future for our next generation. Proposals are accepted beginning on August 18, 2014 and ending on November 17 (by 11:59pm, EST), 2014. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the Online Proposal Submission System. Proposals submitted by fax, mail, or e-mail will NOT be accepted.
