NCSER Training for Opportunities: Using the PEELS and NLTS2 Databases for Research and Policy Discussion
Two three-day seminars on the use of longitudinal datasets for education research and policy analysis will be held January 13-15, 2009 in Washington D.C. The seminars will focus on the Pre-Elementary Education Longitudinal Study (PEELS) database and the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2 (NLTS2) database. PEELS and NLTS2 study children and youth with disabilities and are administered by the National Center for Special Education Research within the Institute of Education Sciences.
Both seminars are open to advanced graduate students and faculty members from colleges and universities nationwide and to researchers, education practitioners, and policy analysts from federal, state, and local education and human services agencies and professional associations. The application deadline is November 23, 2008.
