The American Educational Research Association (AERA) has also named Richard E. Mayer, Professor of Psychology at UC Santa Barbara and affiliated faculty member in the Gevirtz School, as a 2011 Outstanding Reviewer. Mayer was chosen for his work with the Review of Educational Research and will be honored at the AERA annual meeting on Friday, April 13.

AERA is the most prominent international professional organization, with the primary goal of advancing educational research and its practical application. Its 25,000 members are educators; administrators; directors of research; persons working with testing or evaluation in federal, state and local agencies; counselors; evaluators; graduate students; and behavioral scientists.
