Comprehensive Postdoctoral Training in Scientific Education Research

Training Director: Julie Sarama

» This training program immerses postdoctoral fellows in ongoing projects in applied scientific research in education, and provides them with complementary training in the use of state-of-the-art methodologies.  The ultimate aim is to identify the conditions under which interventions to improve preK-12 student learning and achievement in reading, mathematics, and the sciences succeed when applied on a large scale.  The research team is currently evaluating the scale-up of a preschool mathematics curriculum with proven effectiveness.  This scale-up project provides the immediate context for work with postdoctoral fellows, and is replete with opportunities for fellows to participate and extend multiple empirical questions.
