Your Vote, SRCD 2011: What Would You Like Us to Write About?

Every two years, child development experts from around the world gather at a huge meeting convened by the Society for Research in Child Development. Last weekend, SRCD held its latest meeting, and Early Ed Watch was there soaking up new information to report on in future blog posts and to inform our analysis of education policy. Plenty of headlines grabbed our attention, but we couldn’t be at every session since hundreds of pieces of research were presented concurrently.

We’re betting that you, our readers, have strong feelings about what you may want us to delve into more deeply. So we’re asking for your help.* Let us know what you would like us to write about by choosing two sessions from the list of 10 below. Make your choices by midnight on April 12. We’ll report on the winners next week and blog about the research over the next month.

*Longtime readers of our blog probably remember that we held a similar “you pick” event in 2009 that proved to be hugely popular. As with that exercise, we listed these posters in the order that they appear in the SRCD catalog. We aren’t making any claims about the importance or quality of the research listed above compared to the hundreds of studies we didn’t list. Our aim is to provide a diverse sampling of potential projects to cover with an eye to many of the issues that we’ve explored in previous reporting. If you know of others we should be watching closely, let us know. We eat this stuff up.
