Welcome to the CESTL! This is a conference on classroom teaching and learning at both the elementary and secondary school level.

CESTL will show research conducted by all of our student researchers, who spent this whole semester investigating one research topic of their interest under Dr. Boyanton’s guidance and supervision. Specific research methods included elementary/secondary classroom observation (6-10 hours), interviews (2-5 hours), self-reflections (15 entries), class discussions (14-30 responses), and literature (5-20 articles).
This conference will cover a wide range of topics related to classroom teaching and learning including learning and motivation, learning environment, learning process, learning conditions, learning style, learning strategies, peer relationship and learning, learning and instruction, teacher characteristics and learning, professional development and teaching, special education, race and learning, culture and learning, policy and learning, and many more…
CESTL is open to public and welcomes anybody who has interest in our students’ research! Please mark your calendar and join us in this exciting and inspiring event. Also, please help us spread the news among your students, colleagues, friends, or whoever will be interested.
