The 54th Annual Meeting of Journal of Educational Administration
On 10 April, the 54th Annual meeting of the Journal of Educational Administration (JEA), hosted by the APCLC, was held in Washington, D.C. in conjunction with the American Educational Research Association’s Annual Meeting 2016. Following a meeting of the Editorial Advisory Board, board members were joined by JEA authors, reviewers, and other international affiliates of the APCLC to honour the winners of three annual awards that are bestowed by JEA. Participants from Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Israel, The United Kingdom and The United States were in attendance.
The A. Ross Thomas Outstanding Paper Award is selected annually by EAB members from among the 36 papers published in the most recently completed volume of JEA. JEA sponsors the Educational Leadership and Strategy category of the Emerald / European Foundation for Management and Development Outstanding Doctoral Research Award. Each year JEA selects the Outstanding and Highly Recommended dissertations. Winners of the Outstanding Dissertation receive an certificate and a cash prize. While the ODRA acknowledges the work of new scholars in our field, the JEA Legacy Award is bestowed on senior international scholars who have made a sustained and influential contribution by developing key research areas. Each author has contributed a Legacy Paper to JEA.
