Dear Commons Community,

I arrived yesterday in New Orleans to attend the American Education Research Association Annual Conference.  It is one of the larger conferences ( more than 13,000 participants) that I ever attend.  A number of our students and faculty from the PhD Program in Urban Education are here as well as CUNY colleagues, most of whom are making presentations on topics such as  bilingual education, culturally-relevant mathematics instruction, teacher education policy, etc.    The highlight of the day was Carolyne Ali-Khan (one of our students)  receiving an award from Springer Publications for best article for 2010.

Congratulations to Carolyne.

Tony
