New Resource:
NCES' National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has rolled out a new component of its web site. This component, called the Research e-Center, is designed to support the continued efforts of researchers and others studying NAEP findings by providing more information about the assessment's technical components.
On these pages, you can access a variety of reference tools and reports describing NAEP statistical terms and methodological topics of interest to both novice users of NAEP data and experienced secondary-data analysts. You can find out what NAEP data are available for analysis and get information on both online and CD-ROM analysis tools. You will also find listings of funding opportunities, data analysis training, and NAEP-related presentations at conferences.
New Report:
NCES has released "High School Guidance Counseling." This report describes high school guidance programs, activities, and staff at U.S. public high schools during the 2001-02 school year.
New Report:
NCES has released, "Work First, Study Second: Adult Undergraduates Who Combine Employment and Postsecondary Enrollment." This publication compares two groups of working adult undergraduates enrolled in 1999-2000 according to the emphasis or importance they placed on work versus postsecondary enrollment.
