NCES - NISS Expert Panels and Research Reports:  Education Statistics

Working through the Education Statistics Services Institute-Statistics (ESSI-Stat) and NAEP Education Statistics Services Institute (NESSI), NISS has convened a series of task forces to bring nationwide expertise to bear on problems of importance to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). 

Case Study:  Analysis, Exploration and Inference in Large Educational Data Set

Educational policy at the national, state, school district and even school levels depends on the large education data bases that are publicly available, especially those of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Making sure that interpretations of these data are accurate and that the methodology used to report and to draw inferences do so correctly is essential to a solid basis for setting educational policy and standards. Making sure that appropriate methodology is available to the users of these data is critical.
