UC Berkeley was well represented when the American Education Research Association (AERA) held its annual conference in San Francisco, April 7–11. A total of 120 education researchers from UC Berkeley — From Dor Abrahamson to Xiaohui Zheng — were among the more than 24,000 education officials from colleges and universities; federal, state and local agencies; think tanks; foundations; and the private sector in attendance.

Among the GSE’s most prolific presenters were Dean David Pearson and professors Mark Wilson, Marcia Linn, Heinrich Mintrop and Cynthia Coburn.
