Abstract

The Division H Fireside Chat will offer attendees the opportunity to hear senior career researchers share insights and advice about working in various types of school research careers. Panelists with extensive experience across a variety of settings, such as school districts, federal government agencies, academia, and research and development organizations, will present their perspectives on networking and finding a niche in educational research. Both panelists and participants will be asked to consider the ways in which future legislation might affect our roles within the workplace, and participants will be invited to share their own most pressing questions and concerns.
