MERC SEMINARS

MERC routinely hosts online seminars (typically over Zoom) to share key findings from our research projects and invite perspectives from PK-12 educators and policymakers on a variety of topics pertinent to public schools. The seminars are always free to attend, but an RSVP is required. All attendees will receive a certificate of completion to be used towards continuing education credit.

UPCOMING MERC SEMINARS

MERC will host its 2026 Back to School Seminar series in the fall with topics including literacy, Artificial Intelligence, and more. Registration details will be added to this webpage later in the summer. In the meantime, you can sign up for the MERC Stakeholder email listserv to be among the first to learn about resources and events like this.
