National Education Statistics Agenda Committee and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Guide to Improving the National Education Data System" (1990) makes 36 recommendations for improving data collection in the areas of student/background characteristics, education resources, school processes, and student outcomes. This paper uses the framework of the "Guide" to review issues raised in "Education Counts," a recent examination of the nation's capacity to measure and monitor educational change, focusing specifically on data needed to address issues of educational equity with respect to student populations. The first section discusses current equity and at-risk policy issues and the data needed to address them. The second section looks more closely at the data currently available to address these items. The third section examines limitations in current data collections for addressing equity issues, and a fourth section provides specific recommendations for ways to improve the national data system to address equity issues. Recommendations center on the creation of student-based record systems, the linkage of elementary and secondary systems, the development of new measures and indicators, and the reporting of data according to student characteristics. (Contains 10 figures, 2 appendixes, and 60 references.) (SLD)

National Education Statistics Agenda Committee and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a product of the Early Childhood Subcommittee of the National Education Statistics Agenda Committee of the National Forum on Education Statistics, this report evaluates the types of data needed to assess the status of children in their preschool years, evaluate the impact of their early experiences, and address policy questions related to early childhood care, education, and school readiness. It is published as an addendum to "A Guide to Improving the National Education Data System." Issues that must be considered in studies of child development include learning and developmental stages, well-being, child care, education, and the concept of readiness. Associated data collection issues are those of definition and measurement, data needs, and possible indicators for an early childhood database. Recommendations include: (1) giving high priority to developing basic indicators; (2) developing and implementing methods to assess developmental progress; (3) developing and implementing a survey of early childhood care and education programs; (4) linking developmental assessment and the survey data; and (5) undertaking longitudinal studies to assess factors affecting child well-being. An appendix lists specific examples of possible indicators for an early childhood database. (SLD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The education system in the United States is continually challenged to adapt and improve, in part because its mission has become far more ambitious than it once was. At the turn of the 20th century, less than one-tenth of students enrolled were expected to graduate from high school. Today, most people expect schools to prepare all students to succeed in postsecondary education and to prosper in a complex, fast-changing global economy. Goals have broadened to include not only rigorous benchmarks in core academic subjects, but also technological literacy and the subtler capacities known as 21st-century skills. To identify the most important measures for education and other issues and provide quality data on them to the American people, Congress authorized the creation of a Key National Indicators System (KNIS). This system will be a single Web-based information source designed to help policy makers and the public better assess the position and progress of the nation across a wide range of areas. Identifying the right set of indicators for each area is not a small challenge. To serve their purpose of providing objective information that can encourage improvement and innovation, the indicators need to be valid and reliable but they also need to capture the report committee's aspirations for education. This report describes a workshop, planned under the aegis of the Board on Testing and Assessment and the Committee on National Statistics of the National Research Council. Key National Education Indicators is a summary of the meeting of a group with extensive experience in research, public policy, and practice. The goal of the workshop was not to make a final selection of indicators, but to take an important first step by clearly identifying the parameters of the challenge.

Book excerpt: The elementary and secondary education data collection system has undergone a major transformation over the past decade, becoming a coordinated, cohesive system. This report reviews what the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) can and cannot say about education in the United States for kindergarten through grade 12. Six issue areas have been defined by the Indicators Panel convened by the NCES. In the first part of this document, six types of data are juxtaposed against the following six issue areas: (1) institutions and their characteristics; (2) finance; (3) staffing; (4) curriculum and course content; (5) students; and (6) achievement. The second part of this report is then organized into sections that provide information on continuing data collections, new initiatives, and remaining gaps for each of these broad types of education data. Each section contains a description of the availability of the data specific to its subject, a bibliography of current and planned NCES publications on the topic, and a summary chart of the availability of data. The NCES remains committed to providing timely and policy-relevant data. The data collection system maintains its relevance by remaining flexible and responsive to new policy needs. An appendix provides a short profile of each national survey that collects data on education in kindergarten through grade 12. (SLD)
