Over the past year, AERO has collaborated with the Ontario Education Research Panel (OERP) to further expand an online collaboration space. Education Researchers from across Ontario (AERO members and Ontario Education Research Symposium participants) have been using this site to share resources and discussions.
Building on the success of the collaboration space, AERO and the OERP have again collaborated to develop a Directory of Researchers for Ontario School Boards. This new directory is currently available on the collaboration space and has been created to facilitate discussions between board researchers and enhance communication across the Education system.
If you would like to access the collaboration space, please contact Chris Conley (
