Title: Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER)
Center: NCER Year: 2006
Principal Investigator: Hannaway, Jane Awardee: American Institutes for Research (AIR)
Program: Education Research and Development Centers      [Program Details]
Award Period: 5 years Award Amount: $11,996,301
Type: Multiple Goals Award Number: R305A060067
Description:

Previous Award Number: R305A060018
Previous Awardee: Urban Institute

Topic: State and Local Education Policy

Purpose: Supported by a five-year, $10 million grant from the Institute for Education Sciences at the U.S. Department of Education, CALDER is a federally funded National Research and Development Center.

The center will harvest state and district administrative data on individual teachers and students for insights into how state and local policies, especially teacher policies, governance policies, and accountability policies affect teachers (e.g., who teaches what students) and students (e.g., academic achievement and attainment).

CALDER will mine the longitudinal databases that have emerged as educational systems face increased performance-based accountability. Comprehensive databases in Florida, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington state represent the initial core of the research focus.

Projects

Policies Regarding Teachers
Principal Investigator: Jane Hannaway, The Urban Institute
Previous research suggests that the quality of the teacher workforce available to students can affect student achievement. A major goal of the Center is thus to examine state and local policies that are implemented with regard to the hiring, compensation, certification, recruitment, retention, and assignment of teachers. These policies are then related to student achievement as measured through achievement exams, courses taken, and graduation rates.

Governance Policies and Community Conditions
Principal Investigator: Jane Hannaway, The Urban Institute
Other research questions of interest to the Center include governance policies, such as accountability and choice, as well as social and economic conditions of the community, such as changing demographics, the changing labor market, and resources. Of particular interest is the way in which such policies and conditions affect the quality of teachers available to different school systems, and how these in turn may affect student achievement.

Examination of State Databases
Principal Investigator: Jane Hannaway, The Urban Institute
The Center is using comprehensive education databases in Florida, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington to disentangle the effects of different policies by location. The Center also expects to make significant technical contributions to the field as it engages new, rich databases to help guide policymaking.
