The American Educational Research Association (AERA) presents this informational webinar to provide an overview and describe the award components of the AERA-Study of Deeper Learning (SDL) Fellowship Program. 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. Researchers discuss accessing and analyzing the Deeper Learning databases, along with potential topics and research questions that can be examined with the data. The discussion focuses on how to apply for the AERA-SDL Fellowship, eligibility requirements, and the professional development and training provided through the program. This project is supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.

The 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.
