AERA FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM ON THE STUDY OF DEEPER LEARNING - Application Deadline is Friday, June 10, 2016:
The American Educational Research Association (AERA) invites proposals from early career education researchers and postdoctoral scholars to enhance the use of the Deeper Learning dataset. The AERA Fellowship Program on the Study of Deeper Learning (AERA-SDL) supports postdoctoral and early career scholars in education research and thereby fosters excellence and rigor in the next generation of faculty members, research scientists, and scholars examining education topics and issues. The AERA-SDL permits undertaking research projects using the Deeper Learning data and the design and implementation of professional development and training around these data. The Deeper Learning data collected by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) includes a wealth of information from schools, students, and teachers at a sample of Deeper Learning network high schools and non-network high schools. AIR scholars and scientists with expertise on the Deeper Learning data are collaborating with AERA in this Fellowship Program. This Program is supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. You may access the Call for Proposals and Informational Webinar here!
Please direct any questions about the AERA-SDL fellowship program to fellowships@aera.net.
