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)
Download or read book Grading the Nation s Report Card written by Committee on the Evaluation of National and State Assessments of Educational Progress and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-01-06 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1960s, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)--the nation's report card--has been the only continuing measure of student achievement in key subject areas. Increasingly, educators and policymakers have expected NAEP to serve as a lever for education reform and many other purposes beyond its original role. Grading the Nation's Report Card examines ways NAEP can be strengthened to provide more informative portrayals of student achievement and the school and system factors that influence it. The committee offers specific recommendations and strategies for improving NAEP's effectiveness and utility, including: Linking achievement data to other education indicators. Streamlining data collection and other aspects of its design. Including students with disabilities and English-language learners. Revamping the process by which achievement levels are set. The book explores how to improve NAEP framework documents--which identify knowledge and skills to be assessed--with a clearer eye toward the inferences that will be drawn from the results. What should the nation expect from NAEP? What should NAEP do to meet these expectations? This book provides a blueprint for a new paradigm, important to education policymakers, professors, and students, as well as school administrators and teachers, and education advocates.
Download or read book National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 written by Steven J. Ingels and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Education Longitudinal Studies (nels) program is a long-term effort that now encompasses the educational experience of youth from three decades, the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The nels program studies the educational, vocational, and personal development of students at various grade levels, and the personal, familial, social, institutional, and cultural factors that may affect that development. The nels program currently consists of three major studies: (1) the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 (nls-72); (2) High School and Beyond (hs & b); and (3) the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (nels:88). This monograph discusses opportunities for drawing comparisons across the cohorts that comprise the three studies, as well as some of the differences in survey content and design that may limit the possibilities of drawing valid comparisons. The focus is on high school transcripts. When transcript information is coupled with other data about students, it permits the specification of complex models of educational processes and the measurement of high school program and course effects on post-high school outcomes. Comparison of transcript information among the three studies means attention to issues of content comparability and sample design. Content comparability is discussed in the "crosswalks" that form the final section of this report, and design comparability is discussed in some detail. Some other difference of note among the studies are discussed, but their general designs were quite similar. The attached crosswalks cover student-level and course-level comparisons. (Contains 4 tables and 19 references.) (Sld)
