Dear Lives of Teachers SIG colleagues:
I’m writing with information concerning the AERA Lives of Teachers’ Special Interest Group award. The purpose of this award is to highlight excellence, creativity, and innovation in research in the lives of teachers. Papers should reflect critical study on the lives of teachers from preschool teachers to graduate school and beyond.
Submissions should be:
· a fully developed paper on the topic of lives of teachers;
· submitted to the Best Paper Award Committee by November 30, 2017;
· 8,000 words or less and in APA format;
· unpublished and completed;
· substantively different from what was previously presented if the paper was presented at past AERA or another conference.
The Best Paper Award includes a plaque and $500, which will be presented at the AERA LOT SIG Business Meeting. We will notify the winner in February. Please note that the papers accepted for an upcoming AERA meeting are eligible to be considered for an award.
Finally, here are the criteria by which the papers will be judged.
