The annual American Educational Research Association offers a great way for faculty members and students to share ideas and their latest research. This year's conference, which takes place April 5 - April 9 in Toronto, asks participants to consider what it means to live in a "post-truth" era. Always at the forefront of research and conversations, Florida State  College of Education faculty members and students plan on presenting at this conference their original research and lead important conversations in education.

If you plan on attending the AERA conference, consider checking out the following talks, presented by FSU College of Education representatives. These talks are presented by members of our Educational Leadership and Policy Studies department:
