The 2011 Education Research Forum was held on April 27, 2011, at the Rodd Royalty Inn. Throughout the afternoon, over 20 presenters shared insights and sparked discussion on more than 14 education-related topics. More information about the presentations can be found on the forum website.
Every year, the Faculty of Education at UPEI celebrates and shares the recent research activity of faculty members and students. This year the research forum was pleased to have both in-program and completed Masters and PhD students present. Hosted by the UPEI Centre for Education Research, the 2011 Education Research Forum focused on research-informed education change.
This year's keynote speech was a two-part presentation given by Dr. Jim Parsons, a professor at the University of Alberta and director of the Alberta Initiative for School Improvement (AISI), and Kelly Harding, associate director for AISI.
Dr. Liz Townsend ended the Forum with summary notes. The Centre for Education Research would like to thank all those who participated in this event, and the Faculty of Education for its' support.
