Spencer Foundation Lecture in Education Policy and Management: 2009 Call for Nominations |
 |
Background: The APPAM Policy Council approved this award on April 8, 2005.
APPAM plans to name a lecturer every other year from 2005 to 2013. Funding for
the award comes from the Spencer Foundation, created by Lyle M. Spencer in 1962
to "investigate ways in which education, broadly conceived, can be improved around
the world."

Purpose of Award: The Spencer Foundation Lecture recognizes noteworthy
contributions through research and analysis in the field of education policy
and management.
Nature of Award: The 2009 winner will deliver the lecture on Thursday,
Nov. 5, at the APPAM Fall Research Conference in Washington, DC, and be honored
at a reception following the lecture. In addition, the winner receives $5,000
and support for travel expenses, and APPAM and the Spencer Foundation may arrange
to publish the lecture. The recipient is expected to produce a written version of the lecture within a reasonable time after the public presentation.
Eligibility: Any body of work will be considered, although the selection
committee may, from time to time, decide to establish time limits for what may
be considered. The selection committee may decide not to make an award in any
particular year.

of three persons appointed by APPAM and two persons appointed by the Spencer
Foundation. APPAM plans to announce the committee by June 2009.
