LORNE H. WOOLLATT DISTINGUISHED PAPER AWARD

Presenters from the 2024 NERA conference are strongly encouraged to submit an original research paper (no more than 20 pages) in competition for the Lorne H. Woollatt Distinguished Paper Award. It should meet the criteria of being an empirical/inferential or theoretically based study with supporting data, and may include case studies. This award is named in honor of Lorne H. Woollatt, a distinguished New York State educator and an active member of NERA. The winner of the award receives a $500 stipend to present their research paper at an invited session of the Consortium of State and Regional Educational Research Associations (SRERA) at the 2025 American Educational Research Association (AERA) Annual Meeting (to be held in Denver, CO).

This year’s award will be given to the best paper presented by one or more authors at the 2024 NERA conference. Each submitted paper is scored on the importance of the topic and need for the study, the quality of the research design, data analysis, results reported, and conclusions, and the contribution the research findings make to the knowledge base of the field.

The Lorne H. Woollatt Distinguished Paper Award Committee invites participants of the 2024 NERA conference to enter presented papers meeting the research study requirements described above. Please email two copies by Monday, November 25th to the committee chair, Rochelle Michel (nera.woollatt.award.submission@gmail.com). One copy should be a copy without any author identifying information on the title page and one copy that includes a title page with the names, affiliations, and email addresses of each author. The Committee very much looks forward to receiving your paper by Monday, November 25th.
