Early Childhood Studies at the National Center for Education Statistics

NCES is conducting a program presentation at the 2007 Biennial Meeting of the Society for Research and Child Development (SRCD) entitled “Early Childhood Studies at the National Center for Education Statistics.” This seminar provides an overview of three NCES large-scale data collections: the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-99 (ECLS-K) and the Birth Cohort of 2001 (ECLS-B) and the National Household Education Surveys (NHES). The 1-day workshop discusses how these surveys measure home learning and educational experiences from birth through 8th grade. Presentations describe study design and technical issues. Demonstrations of computer software will assist users in preparing data for analyses. The seminar is for advanced graduate students, faculty, and analysts with a solid understanding of statistics. The seminar, will be held in Boston, from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. For more information or to register for this free seminar please send an email to ecls@air.org
