II. Member Web Links
The space below is provided for MERA members to share their favorite research and achievement related web sites. MERA neither supports nor opposes any of these websites, these only represent the opinions of the people writing them. We encourage YOU to go to the end of this page to see how to submit your own favorite websites OR to make corrections, register concerns, etc.
How to submit a favorite link:
- Look at the links listed above and follow this format.
- Specific formatting issues are:
- Use up to 3 lines (Arial Narrow type face size 12) to describe yourself.
- First list the website address - note it works best if you load the website and copy the address.
- Put the name of the web site sponsor in bold letters.
- Tell what it is in the website and how it is helpful for gaining understanding about educational research, evaluation, and student achievement issues.
- Type your material up in Microsoft Word, submitting no more than 5 web sites with no more than 4 lines (Arial narrow size 12) per website. It is usually better to start with 1 or 2 sites.
- Email/attach the word file to weinb1mj@cmich.edu

- MERA may remove favorite links after 2 years if they are not updated or if members become inactive.
