ESRI is an academic conference held each Spring which aims to provide an opportunity for immersion in current research and innovations in education. The conference provides an occasion for participants (professionals, students, alumni, and others) to present their original work in a variety of formats, to receive feedback and support from colleagues and professors, and to strengthen their work for future conferences and publication.

Research Faculty and Lab
In addition, GSEHD's Department of Educational Leadership is home to faculty members specializing in both quantitative and qualitative Research Methods, who serve graduate students across GSEHD. As part of this commitment, the school maintains a Research Lab located on the first floor of the main building at 2134 G Street.
