2026 SREE Request for Proposals: Research Methods Webinar Series

2026 Request for Proposals: Research Methods Webinar Series

Overview
SREE invites proposals for our Research Methods Webinar Series, designed to advance methodological knowledge and practice within the educational research community. These webinars serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students. To view our previous research methods webinars, please visit our website.

Proposal Requirements
SREE members are encouraged to submit webinar proposals that include:
  • Webinar Topic, Title, and Summary: Please provide a concise summary (maximum 300 words) describing the research method to be presented and the specific skills or knowledge participants will gain.
  • Proposed Date: Please suggest 2-3 potential dates for your webinar.
  • Proposed Presenters: SREE is committed to diverse representation in terms of institutional affiliation, career stage, methodological expertise, gender, and race/ethnicity. Please describe how your speaker lineup reflects this commitment.

SREE's Responsibilities
Once your proposal is approved, SREE will provide the following support:
  • Honorarium: $500 stipend available for webinar presenters (total per webinar). Please note: SREE reserves the right to cancel a scheduled webinar if registration or revenue is insufficient to support the event. In such cases, presenters will be notified at least 48 hours in advance.
  • A detailed planning timeline
  • Technical platform (Zoom)
  • Comprehensive promotion across our channels
  • Registration management
  • Recording and archiving services
  • Technical support before and during your webinar
Facilitator Responsibilities
As the webinar facilitator, you will be responsible for:
  • Following the planning schedule and meeting all deadlines for materials submission.
  • Recruiting and confirming speakers, collecting their information (full name, current affiliation, bio link, headshot, social media handles), coordinating presentation content, and finalizing the slide deck.
  • Introducing the session and speakers, managing time, ensuring sufficient opportunity for Q&A, and facilitating audience engagement.
  • While SREE leads promotion efforts, webinars are most successful when co-promoted by presenters.
