AERA Annual Meeting

Montreal, Canada, April 11-15, 2005

Call for Papers,Reviewers, Session Chairs

Proposals for papers, symposia and other presentations are invited via the on-line submissions system of the American Educational Research Association: www.aera.net

All SIG proposals must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) on August 3, 2004. The Rasch SIG program chair, Trevor Bond, invites members to volunteer as session chairs, discussants and reviewers through the on-line submission system.

If you have already had experience at presenting in a Rasch SIG session at AERA, you might consider offering your Rasch-informed paper to another SIG or Division. I can personally assure you that the Survey Research in Education SIG would actively welcome Rasch based survey research papers to that SIG.

The RM SIG has the opportunity to use round-table sessions for non-paper presentations. Software demonstrations and expert-led discussions of beginners' problems have been suggested. Any volunteers or ideas?

Rasch Measurement SIG
From the Secretary

Dear Colleagues:
I hope that those of you who attended this year's annual AERA meeting in San Diego had a successful conference and made it back home safely. There were a number of very interesting papers presented at the sessions sponsored by the Rasch SIG. Thanks to all who attended and presented at these sessions!

ELECTIONS
Elections were held at the SIG Annual Business Meeting held during the AERA Annual Meeting, and the following officers were elected:

Chair:
Randy Schumacker, University of North Texas

Secretary/Treasurer:
Steve Stemler, Yale University

Program Chair:
Trevor Bond, James Cook University

NEWSLETTER
John Michael Linacre has graciously agreed to continuing serving as the Newsletter editor. He asked me to remind SIG members that the current and back-issues of Rasch Measurement Transactions (RMT) can be downloaded from www.rasch.org/rmt/

SIG MEMBERSHIP
I would like to encourage all AERA members to join the Rasch SIG (if you haven't yet). Membership in the SIG is critically important as the number of paper presentation slots allocated by AERA is solely determined by the number of paid members of the SIG. So, in order to ensure that we have a quality program for Montreal next year, we encourage everyone to make sure that they are SIG members, and to encourage others who may be interested to join as well.

1. Loge onto the members only site of AERA:

2. Once you are logged in, choose the option that says "Join a special interest group".

3. Check the box next to the Rasch Measurement SIG (83). If you have already paid your dues, the box will be grayed out so can't select it - that is one way to check your status.

4. Charge the $10 dues to your credit card using AERA's secure website, and voila!, you are a full-fledged SIG member.
