This session provides guidance and advice on using these tools to navigate several NCES data sets, including the Local Education Agency Finance Survey (F-33) and the National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) from the Common Core of Data (CCD). The session covers the Educational Data Analysis Tool featuring the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), National Household Education Surveys (NHES), the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Class of 1998–99 (ECLS-K), and the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS: 2002). This session will also discuss the improved functionality of the School District Demographics System (SDDS) and the wealth of data it contains about the school-age population from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS). CCD can be accessed by Build-a-Table (BAT) or the Elementary/Secondary Information System (ELSI). The Education Data Analysis Tool (EDAT) facilitates the download of NCES survey datasets to your computer. Currently, the EDAT application contains SASS, ECLS-K, ELS: 2002, NELS (National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988), and NHES datasets. This session will also provide an overview of the National Assessment of Educational Progress Data Explorer (NDE). The data explorers are online tools that allow users to create custom statistical tables and graphics. The NDE is a rich and dynamic database of all NAEP data. Room: Conference Room 6, Third Floor STEPHEN CORNMAN, U.S. Department of Education; MARK DIXON, OSEI AMPADU, LAURA NIXON and JUMAANE YOUNG, U.S. Census Bureau Page 16 Page | 16 Thursday, March 13, 2014 WORKSHOP BY CAPSEE - Linking College and Labor Market Datasets for Research On the Labor Market Returns to College This workshop will provide a practical overview of methods to link college transcript records to labor market data. Such datasets allow for longitudinal analysis of all college students within a state or system as they progress through college and enter the labor market. While they are very useful for answering a variety of research questions, they also pose a variety of research challenges. This workshop will provide detailed explanations of how to create these datasets and specify key practical and empirical challenges in compiling and using them. Workshop registrants should bring a laptop with Stata pre-installed (for a free 30-day trial version, see http://www.stata.com/customerservice/evaluate-stata/). Using a limited sample dataset, participants will have the opportunity for hands-on practice in working with these types of data. Di Xu is a post-doctoral research associate at the Community College Research Center, Teachers College, and earned a PhD in Economics and Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. She researches the labor market returns to different degree programs and major areas in higher education. She is also conducting research to explore the impacts of educational programs, interventions, and instructional practice on student course performance, persistence, and degree completion. Her research interests include economic returns to higher education, financial aid in education, and the use of quantitative research methods in evaluating the effects of governmental policies, programs, and interventions on educational equity and efficiency.

Room: Conference Room 6, Third Floor Chair: MARTIN ORLAND, WestEd This panel discussion will consider the resource and policy implications of major data initiatives in the education sector. Over the past nine years, $618 million has been invested by the Federal government on the statewide longitudinal data systems (SLDS). The SLDS serve to provide data repositories for states, primarily for accountability and compliance data. Additional funds have been expended at the local levels for data systems, applications, and dashboards to inform districts and schools. Yet the purposes and payoffs of these systems are not clear. It is becoming increasingly evident that the human capital to use data systems for needed educational improvements is insufficient. Perhaps the biggest issue and impediment is the capacity for educators to know how to use data effectively and appropriately; that is, their data literacy. New investments to build teacher data literacy, implement data-driven school improvement strategies, and strengthen state and data system infrastructure are receiving increased attention and consideration. This session will bring together expert panelists from a variety of perspectives to address critical questions of resources and results for education data investments already made and those that are still needed.

School districts can benefit from the rigorous and sophisticated research that universities can offer, and education researchers can benefit by having access to data and seeing their findings have real impacts on policy. Yet numerous barriers deter the formation and regular communication needed to develop and sustain partnerships between university researchers and school district leaders. In this session we will discuss firsthand lessons from the ongoing successes and struggles from our experiences with developing and maintaining long-term, school district-university research partnerships. We hope that this session can better inform an audience of education researchers and policymakers about ways they can form and sustain similar partnerships, specifically addressing some of the major obstacles.

For one, several new foundations with large endowments and an interest in reforming the U.S. education system have emerged, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Kern Family Foundation, Broad Foundation, and the Walton Family Foundation. These newer philanthropies have tended to take more strategic approaches to their grantmaking, treating grants like venture capital investments that are based on strategic plans, cost-benefit analyses, and performance benchmarks for measuring returns. This new approach is a significant divergence from previous philanthropic approaches that primarily focused on providing operating grants to charitable organizations with little focus on measuring the social impact of those programs and projects. This panel is comprised of representatives from three foundations that are actively involved in K-12 education and that utilize new venture philanthropy approaches to grantmaking. The panel members will discuss how their foundations approach grantmaking and measurement to determine the impact and value of investments made. In addition, they will describe how evidence informs future grantmaking strategies and decisions in their foundations. Discussant/s: MARC J.

Room: Conference Room 8, Third Floor Chair: DAVID FIGLIO, Institute for Policy Research - Northwestern University In this moderated panel discussion, three state research directors will share their perspectives about the research needs of state education agencies. They will discuss how they set their research agendas, the roles of internal capacity and external partners in implementing that work, and the promise and limitations of the data coming out of state longitudinal data systems to answer important questions for policymaking. Each will highlight examples of successful partnerships with external researchers and share suggestions for how to make these partnerships effective in meeting state research needs. Examples of questions to be discussed include: • What research topics are currently of greatest interest to state education agencies? What topics do they expect to be big a few years down the road? • How do state agencies develop research agendas and adjust them as the policy environment shifts? • How do state agencies decide which research should be conducted with internal resources versus via external partnerships? • What do they perceive as the pros and cons of working with external researchers? When do these relationships work best? • How have they used the data from state longitudinal data systems to answer key policy questions? What influence has this work had on the eventual policy decisions? • How do state agencies think about balancing quick descriptive analyses versus more sophisticated causal analyses? • What questions would state agencies like to answer that are currently not well addressed? • What do state research directors see as the major barriers to more frequent data-driven decision-making in their agencies?

The Quest to Get More Personalized and Productive with Technology In Classrooms Many educators, viewing the increasing diversity in our schools, argue that we will only see dramatically better outcomes for our students if we are able to personalize students’ education. To date, the leading strategies to personalize education have been to reduce class size, add more tutoring in the classroom or before and after school, or pulling students out of classes for extra help. Some of these strategies worked but all came at a tremendous expense. Over the last five years, however, educators have reimagined teaching and learning by tapping technology’s nearly boundless ability to individualize applications. These new technology-driven models don’t necessarily eliminate instructors but instead use adaptive software and online course materials to allow students to progress at their own pace through work, to provide teachers with rapid data on the progress of their students, and to free up teachers to concentrate their attention on a smaller number of students in work that challenges the students. The goal isn’t necessarily to spend less on education but to be much more productive with the resources we have. This is a young movement and there reasons to be optimistic and skeptical. This panel will probe the promise and challenges of this technology revolution in schools with national leaders and school operators who have an up-close view of technology changing classrooms and schools Page 56 Page | 56 Concurrent Session VI - Friday, March 14: 1:15-2:45PM 6.01 – Equity of Effective Teaching Room: Conference Room 11, Third Floor Chair: STEVEN GLAZERMAN, Mathematica Policy Research DAN GOLDHABER, University of Washington-Bothell.

Wyoming in the mid 1990s, the state has developed a professional judgment/evidence based approach to funding its schools and has recalibrated that model several times. Following the Campbell ruling which required development of a basket of educational goods and services and the expectation that the state would determine the cost of that basket and fund it, there have been several modifications to the state’s funding system. The first response was a professional judgment model put in place in 1997, followed by modifications to that model in 2001 based on the Court’s requirement for recalibration at least every five years, along with a ruling that held parts of the initial model unconstitutional. A recalibration in 2005 shifted to an evidence based system, which was modified moderately in 2010. The state will need to recalibrate the funding model again in 2015. This session offers an historical review of the state’s school finance system with participants describing how the funding models were developed, implemented and maintained since the Campbell ruling. This session will consider the Wyoming School Finance story from three perspectives. Picus and Goetz will describe the history of building the funding model, O’Donnell will provide information on the legal aspects of the school finance system, and Taylor and Willmarth will provide information on implementation of the current funding system. Our hope is to establish an interactive discussion on how the lessons learned in Wyoming can be used in other states as they seek to modify their school finance system, whether court ordered or otherwise.

CUNNINGHAM, New York State Association of School Business Officials School Finance and Learning: Are We Leveraging State Aid to Get All We Can Out of It? In 1984, A Nation at Risk was published and shocked educators and the public alike to think that the United States had somehow failed in elementary and secondary education. Thirty years later, we know so much more and have benefited from a dramatic increase in the capacity to measure and share information, but we are arguably not much further along than we were back in 1984 in terms of meeting the nation’s education goals. The world has changed dramatically and education has made only incremental improvements. A system that fails 70 percent of its young people in 2013 (and 80 percent in 2023?) is not a pathway to prosperity. It is time for states to look seriously at the potential of incentives tied to basic school aid which they provide to school districts, and create a culture that embraces a strategic approach to using every education dollar. The panel consisting of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, will advance thinking on incentives for improved learning by exploring research topics, research methods, public engagement strategies and measures that have the potential to help states implement reforms and better understand the cost of inaction.
