Dear Colleapue:

Jerry Litzenberger (program chairman) and Ted Hagen (president elect) of the
Washington Educational Research Association (W.E.R.A.) were here Friday, October
11, to continue planning for next year's, May 8 - 9, Pacific Northwest Research
and Evaluation Conference hosted by the Faculty of Education, U.B.C., featuring
John Goodlad in a keynote address entitled:

Contextual Appraisal and the Improvement of Schooling.

Several sub-themes have now been identified and should provide further
guidance for the submission of paper and/or symposium proposals.

i) Evaluation of programs/offerings for the gifted.
ii) Evaluation of science programs/courses/achievement.
iii) Post-secondary (Community College) evaluation for diagnostic and
placement purposes.
iv) Scanning and scoring technology in measurement.

The planning committee will next meet on Friday, December 13, 1985, to consider
proposals and put together the program for May 8 - 9, 1986. This, then, is a
reminder of the December 1 deadline for receiving proposals and to encourage pre-:
sentations by Canadian personnel from school districts and post-secondary institutions.

Jerry Litzenberger states in the recent WERA Newsletter that we are looking for
" ...educational reports, curriculum and evaluation studies, and theoretical papers
for presentation at conference paper sessions and symposia. Submittals are encouraged
relating (but not limited) to topics such as educational administration; curriculum
studies, learning and instruction; measurement and testing; human development;
educational history; social, cultural, political and economic relationship to
education; school evaluation; and post-secondary education."

Please send proposals to:
