My experience with NCES data in my masters degree was what got me interested in leaving the classroom and doing education research as a career. We've learned so much from NCES surveys and it breaks my heart that we are turning our back on it as a country.
AERA has just learned that all restricted-use NCES data licenses will be cancelled, possibly as early as March 20. We urgently request that all AERA members and others in the research community with restricted-use licenses take these two actions: www.aera.net/Research-Pol...
