Time: 10:15-11:15 am ET
Location: STATS-DC Conference Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
Description: The Virginia Department of Education partnered with REL Appalachia at SRI International to co-design and support an evaluation of Virtual Virginia, a state-funded program which offers online courses for middle and high school students. Presenters share approaches developed through this work for collecting new sources of implementation and cost data, and integrating them with studies of a program's outcomes to inform decisions of policy and practice. Participants learn ways to strengthen evaluation rigor using extant data, strategies to improve survey response rates, and methods to understand local cost that state education agencies can implement.
Partnership or Research Alliance: Improving Postsecondary Transitions partnership
Audience: STATS-DC offers education researchers, policymakers, and data system managers from all levels of government and opportunity to discuss technical and policy issues related to collecting, maintaining, and using education data.
