Message from Barbara Greene, VP of Division C and Member of NCIC since 1986 As we prepare for the 2017 AERA, I want to remind NCIC friends that Division C of AERA (Learning and Instruction) has always been a major intellectual home for NCIC scholars. Therefore, I hope to see many of you at the exciting Division C sessions, all of which will be in the Convention Center. Saturday will be a busy day for Division C. We have a panel with policy researchers at 8:15 (room 305): Building bridges from Research to Policy: How Can Division C Researchers Work More Effectively with Policy Professionals. Steve Graham and Susan Goldman will be representing Division C. At 10:35 (Room 217 D) we have another panel, though this time a group of senior scholars will be talking about Tensions in Division C: Shifting Between Building Individual Agency and Promoting Systemic Change. The VP elect of Division C, Sandra Graham, will be involved in that session, along with Avi Kaplan, Tara Yosso, and Dennis McInerney. A related session, with up and coming scholars, will be at 1:45 (room 217D) is called “How Can Educational Psychology Become More Culturally Relevant: Reimagining Traditional Educational Psychology Concepts.” That busy day will be capped off with the Division C business at 6:30 (River Level, Room 7A), which will be followed by a reception in the Grotto area. On Sunday at 10:35 (room 217D) there will be the Early Career award talk given by Amanda Goodwin. On Monday we will end the big Division C events with the Scribner Award Address at 12:25 (room 217 D) given by Karen Harris. Of course, these are just some highlights of will be a dynamic program in San Antonio. Needless to say, I will be ready for our banquet on Sunday!

NCIC Family Updates:
Naming Gift from Drs. McCown and Driscoll Based on the generous donations of Rick McCown and Marcy Driscoll, NCIC has created the “Founder’s Service Award,” named in our of our NCIC Founders. The Founder’s Service Award will be given each year to a young member of NCIC in recognition of outstanding commitment of time and energy to
support the organization. We are currently seeking additional donations we work toward the goal of fully endowing this new award.
Jim Schreiber’s New Position: After almost 25 years in education at the high school, community college and university levels, I needed a new challenge and a change of scenery. The School of Nursing needed a statistician and in a few situations, a learning theorist. Thus I have moved over to the School of Nursing where I teach, bio-statistics, design, and traditional Fisherian statistics. I assist with grant development, dissertations, and responses to reviews for faculty manuscripts.
The change has been exciting as the cultures are very different. In addition, it is a bit busy as the school is growing and in the next few years may account for 20% of the whole student population of the university.
NCIC Banquet: Mi Tierra Restaurant and Bakery
Remember the great dinner we had last year in DC? This year’s banquet is looking to top that great experience. We will be at Mi Tierra Restaurant and Bakery, located on 218 Produce Row, San Antonio on April 30th 7-9pm. It’s about 1 mile from the Suite, so please plan to Uber, taxi, or take public transportation to the venue.
We will have an exciting dinner with fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, sopapillas, and a live mariachi band! Don’t forget to purchase your ticket through the NCIC website so we know you are coming. Also, we discussed an amazing vegetarian option as well so please let us know if you would like that dinner spread instead. Of course, there will be a full cash bar (can you say margarita?) as well as dessert and coffee at the end of our meal.
NCIC Suite Reception Join us for our annual Cocktail Hour in the NCIC Suite at the Hyatt Regency on Saturday, April 29th 4-6 pm. This earlier than usual time will allow us all to attend the Division C Business Meeting and Reception immediately following. There will be local meats and cheeses to enjoy as well as a cash bar. Come catch up with old friends and make new friends. We look forward to seeing you at the NCIC Suite.
Things to do in San Antonio: Fiesta!
What is Fiesta San Antonio? It is called the Party with a Purpose because it is a 10-day celebration of San Antonio culture and history where funds raised by Fiesta events provide services to San Antonio citizens throughout the year. There are several events you might consider while in San Antonio for AERA. You can read about at www.fiesta-sa.org, but in case that is overwhelming to look at, the table below provides some recommended events that you can attend while still enjoying the conference during the day.

NCIC Member Spotlight
Gale Sinatra Wins USC Mentoring Award
Gale Sinatra recently received a 2017 USC Mentoring Award, given out to USC faculty members who promote and embody the university's culture of mentoring. She was presented with the award by nominator and USC Provost Postdoc Stephen Aguilar, who in his introduction said. . . “Professor Gale Sinatra exemplifies what it means to be a great mentor. She is generous with her time and wisdom. Gale always manages to find the time to chat with her students and colleagues about their progress, and is an amazing thought partner when it comes to designing studies, grants, and everything else that is required by our profession. Gale takes an active role in the professional development of her colleagues, postdocs, and students. If you are lucky enough to have been mentored by Gale, then it goes without saying that you have become a stronger scholar as a result. Her support is unwavering, and her ability to cut to the chase—while still addressing important nuances—is impressive. For many of us at USC Rossier, Gale immediately became one of the most important mentors and sources of wisdom. This award is the least we can do to recognize the role Gale plays in making those around her better.”
