NEWSLETTER EDITORS: DR. TIMOTHY CLEARY AND DR. PAMELA MURPHY
Dear SSRL SIG Members,
As was discussed at our Business Meeting at AERA last
Spring in San Diego, we have elected to publish two
newsletters during the 2009-2010 academic year. The
purpose of the Fall newsletter is to inform the SSRL SIG
membership about recent changes to SIG governance as well
as recent accomplishments of our SIG members. We also
include information in the newsletter that will promote
research and professional collaboration amongst the highly
talented members. We envision our Spring newsletter as a
vehicle through which important information about the key programs and activities at the
2010 AERA conference in Colorado will be presented.

Chair’s Corner
A message from your Senior Chair
I am pleased to send my greetings from the pages of our fall 2009 newsletter: Many thanks
to Tim Cleary and Pamela Murphy for producing an informative yet concise communiqué
for us all. You will find here information about our membership (including names and
email addresses), our upcoming elections, and recent publications and awards, as well as a
thank-you to our review panelists and an invitation to serve as an officer.
As you probably know, AERA has made a number of changes this year that directly affect
our SIG. These changes include new bylaws, updated guidelines for AERA-sanctioned
awards, the need to assemble review panels to evaluate proposals for presentations at the
annual meeting, and electronic elections with at least two candidates per office. Complying
with each change represented a significant amount of work on the part of our officers: We
owe a debt of gratitude to Sherri Horner, Héfer Bembenutty, and Linda Bol for ensuring that our SIG operates in accordance
with all new AERA regulations.
The good news is that future SSRL SIG officers can assume leadership positions with the knowledge that the SIG is in good
shape. I encourage you all to consider running for an office in the fall of 2010. We have four offices, each with a senior and
junior officer. The following table lists our current officers and the primary roles and responsibilities of each office.

Produce the conference program: solicit presentation proposals and
reviewers, manage review process including accept/reject decisions,
create program, review online preliminary program, organize business
meeting, and coordinate with Graduate Student Research Award Chair.
Take minutes of all meetings of Executive Committee and at annual
business meeting, and produce SIG newsletters.
Responsible for managing and reporting on the financial accounts of
the SIG, record keeping of all financial documents of the SIG, keeping
records of and reporting on membership, and setting up the catering for
the annual meeting.
The term of each officer is two years: the first year as junior and the second year as senior. Terms begin the day following the
close of the AERA Annual Meeting and end on the last day of the next AERA Annual Meeting. We will elect four new junior
officers in January, 2010: Please see the biographic information and a ballot on page 8 for information about our candidates.
Serving as a SIG officer is rewarding. I have found that my various roles in this SIG have enabled me to access research on
SSRL I might otherwise have missed, and allowed me to develop working relationships that I will cherish for many years.
With this past year as an exception, the workload of any given office is usually less than that of a typical college or university
committee, so the benefits of serving far outweigh the costs. I hope many of you will self-nominate to run for office in the
near future.

A message from your Junior Chair
Serving to our SIG has been a blessing for me and has helped to guide my major professional
theme: Incorporating self-regulation of learning and motivation into my professional
discipline. Like most people, I was attracted to our SIG for its emphasis on self-regulation
research but also by the first-class scholars who constituted its membership. My experiences
have been both varied and rewarding and I would like to share my thoughts on these
experiences with you.

Junior and Senior Secretary: My first active involvement in the SIG occurred
during a business meeting at the 2006 AERA conference. I enthusiastically
volunteered to run for the Junior Secretary position. This was a very important
beginning for me. I served in the role of secretary for two years, an experience which
provided me with the opportunity to share my perspectives about our field and our
SIG. It also gave me international visibility within the self-regulation community.

Junior and Senior Program Chair: I was next elected to serve as the Junior Program Chair and later became
the Senior Program Chair. In these capacities, I was lucky to work with two first-class colleagues and friends,
Dr. Heidi Andrade and Dr. Linda Bol, who mentored and guided me. They gave me opportunities to be
involved in one of the most visible positions in our SIG. My duties involved soliciting reviewers for the
proposals, accepting or rejecting proposals, organizing the SIG program for the annual meeting, and selecting
the invited speaker for our business meeting. In this capacity, I had the opportunity to influence the direction
of our field and to crystallize the vision of our SIG.

Junior SIG Chair: My current role as the Junior SIG Chair provides me with a remarkable opportunity to
interact with my colleagues around the world about what is important to our SIG. In this capacity, I work
closely with the Senior SIG Chair, Dr. Heidi Andrade. We collaborate on many issues including ensuring that
our SIG has a strong leadership position in AERA and helping to facilitate quality scientific scholarship and
community within our SIG. Furthermore, in this position, I have had the unique opportunity to influence the
policies that determine the paths of our SIG and to support those values and decisions that are consistent with
effective self-regulation of learning.
I invite graduate students and junior and senior scholars to be actively involved in our SIG. The SIG offers plenty of
opportunities and needs your skills and talents. Specific ways in which you could be involved include:
1. Attending the business meeting and volunteering to serve in different leadership roles.
2. Attending the AERA program organized by our SIG (e.g., symposia, posters, and roundtables).
3. Making an effort to meet the senior scholars who have been the leaders of self-regulation. You could
introduce yourself to them at AERA, ask them for copies of their publications, e-mail them questions related
to your interests, and ask them for suggestions for your research.
4. Making an effort to meet the junior scholars who are the new stars in our field. The junior scholars have in
their hands the direction of our discipline and they are typically eager to help and to serve as role models to
graduate students.
5. Graduate students can ask their dissertation advisors to introduce them to friends and colleagues during the
annual meetings of AERA
6. If you have a presentation during the annual meeting, carry copies of your paper. When you introduce
yourself to other scholars, give them copies of your paper. Chances are that they will read it.
I have been blessed to serve in many roles for our SIG and appreciate all of the opportunities and experiences that these roles
have afforded me. It is my commitment to continue serving our professional organization. I certainly hope that you will
consider joining my colleagues and me in the leadership of our SIG.

Junior Program Chair
Timothy Cleary (University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee): Dr. Cleary is currently an associate
professor in the Educational Psychology department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. His
primary research interests include developing and evaluating the efficacy of self-regulation
interventions in urban schools and examining the utility of alternative assessment approaches, such
as SRL microanalysis, in evaluating regulatory and motivation processes in youth. These two lines
of research are an integral aspect of his applied assessment and intervention program, called the
Self-Regulation Empowerment Program (SREP). Dr. Cleary is also currently conducting a line of
research examining the beliefs, attitudes, and professional activities of educators and school
psychologists, relative to self-regulation assessment, instruction, and intervention. His research
agenda and productivity has played a key role in promoting several professional development
initiatives with Milwaukee teachers and school psychologists. Dr. Cleary is an active member of
NASP, APA, and AERA, and serves as a reviewer for many scholarly journals, such as the Journal
of School Psychology, Journal of Educational Psychology, Psychology in the Schools, and British
Journal of Educational Psychology. He has served on the SSRL SIG Executive committee for the
past two years, first as the Junior secretary and currently as the Senior secretary.
Douglas Kauffman (University of Nebraska – Lincoln): Doug Kauffman earned his Ph.D. in
educational psychology from the University of Nebraska, where he is currently an Assistant
Professor of Cognition, Learning, and Development. Prior to joining the faculty at Nebraska Doug
served on the faculties of Eastern Connecticut State University and The University of Oklahoma.
The goal of his research is to develop, and implement strategies that facilitate, support and/or
measure cognition, motivation, and self-regulation within diverse instructional and cultural settings.
He is co-author of The Unified Learning Model: How Motivational, Cognitive, and Neurobiological
Sciences Inform Best Teaching Practice (Shell, Brooks, Trainin, Wilson, Kauffman, and Herr, in
press) scheduled for release in December, 2009. He has published several articles and chapters on
studying, note taking, and self-regulation. More recently he has been examining motivation and
beliefs about writing and the feedback students receive about their writing. He serves on the editorial
board of Contemporary Educational Psychology and as an ad hoc reviewer for a number of other
journals.

Junior Secretary/Newsletter
Tracey Leacock (Simon Fraser University): Tracey Leacock is an Assistant Professor at Simon
Fraser University in Vancouver. Her research looks at the intersection between human decisionmaking and self-regulated learning. She is interested in how the factors that affect decision-making
impact the choices people make about how to approach learning tasks, especially in the realm of
academic writing. For example, (how) do learning activities conducted via asynchronous
conferencing affect students’ evaluations of their learning and the choices they make about how to
adapt their studying? She is also interested in the related issue of how to support faculty in new ways
of teaching.
Maria DiBenedetto (Baruch College, The City University of New York): Maria K. DiBenedetto
earned her doctorate in Educational Psychology: Learning, Development and Instruction from the
City University of New York Graduate Center. Under the mentorship of Dr. Barry Zimmerman, her
dissertation was on using microanalytic methodology to assess academic self-regulation of high
school students on science learning. She has coauthored with Dr. Zimmerman an article on mastery
learning, and is currently conducting a study of full-time and part-time MBA students’ selfregulation. She is co-chair of the Assurance of Learning Committee at the Zicklin School of
Business, Baruch College, City University of New York, which involves conducting assessments,
evaluating the results, and working with faculty to change the curriculum. At Baruch, she is
currently teaching educational psychology to undergraduates majoring in education and has also
taught educational psychology and research methods to Queens College, CUNY graduate students in
teacher certification programs. She has reviewed articles for journals such as the Journal of
Educational Psychology, Journal of Advanced Academics, and the Technology, Instruction,
Cognition and Learning, and has presented papers at AERA and APA.
