CEPA Scholars Highlighted at AEFP 39th Annual Conference

March 04, 2014

The 2014 AEFP Annual Conference will take place in San Antonio, Texas on March 13-15. The conference will present, discuss and evaluate the latest research on a wide spectrum of education topics, from pre-K to postsecondary, and encourage vigorous debates about current reforms and policy directions and their effects.
The 2014 conference theme is New Players in Education Finance and Policy. Both K-12 and higher education are in the midst of rapid and fundamental change: proliferation of new technology; new sources of investment capital and start-up vendors offering potentially game changing products/services; new public-private partnerships; venture philanthropy; continued growth of new sources of teachers and school leaders; the emergence of ‘big data.’ What is the impact of these trends on the education sector and the prospects for improving effectiveness and equity? How can research help make sense of this fast-changing environment?
