The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has multiple state-of-the-art data tools that allow users to easily access and analyze data. Please join us on November 22, 2024, from 12:00-5:00pm EST for the virtual Accessing and Exploring NCES/Census Data Workshop.
The workshop will offer instruction on the Elementary/Secondary Information System (ELSI); the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Data Explorer; Educational Demographic and Geographic Estimates (EDGE) data tools to explore ACS and GIS data; the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS); and Data Lab, including PowerStats which allows users to generate custom statistical analyses and data visualizations. Participants will also learn how to access data from the National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) and the School District Finance Survey (F-33); and new data on financial literacy and college financial planning from the High School and Beyond Longitudinal Survey (HS&B).
This workshop provides participants with a comprehensive overview of how to utilize those tools to access education data sets. Participants will learn how to access public-use and restricted-use data sets, create reports and data tables, find published reports, and conduct analyses with selected statistical tools. Participants are not required to have any pre-requisite skills to attend the virtual session. Each participant will receive an Accessing and Exploring NCES/Census Data “cookbook,” that provides comprehensive instruction and screen shots explaining how to navigate a myriad of NCES data tools.
