Reporting With Education Research Program
The Education Writers Association is accepting applications from journalists to join its Reporting With Education Research workshop on June 2 in Baltimore.
Journalists will have an opportunity to dig into cutting-edge research on students, teachers and schools, taking away new skills and story ideas.
- What factors impact student health and wellbeing?
- Where do researchers see both risks and rewards in using artificial intelligence in classroom instruction?
- Where can reporters find the latest reliable data for their next education story?
We’ll tackle these questions – and many more – in the workshop.
The special half-day workshop is for journalists attending the 2026 National Seminar, June 2-5. The workshop takes place before the event.
Participants will:
- Join an in-person workshop and connect in small groups with leading education researchers;
- Explore how to more effectively find and use research for both big projects and everyday reporting;
- Learn from working journalists with extensive experience in reporting with education research.
The deadline to apply is Monday, March 9. Please read our FAQs and eligibility requirements below. APPLY HERE.
