Our next course is planned for early 2024, please watch this space for more information when it becomes available. Meanwhile you can visit the information from the previous training course from Feb 2021 here. It is likely that the 2024 course will be similar in form and content, with some updated modules.
Though these gaps in both cognitive and noncognitive skills are troubling and call for policy recommendations, better policy solutions can be designed if we understand how these gaps have changed over time and what factors have played a role in those changes. Education outcomes are the product of a combination of multiple factors, which can reinforce or mitigate relative advantages or disadvantages in a dynamic fashion. We examine these issues in the rest of the paper.
Large and growing disparities in the economic well-being of children in America and extensive evidence linking those disparities to widely diverging educational outcomes have prompted action among a growing number of communities and school districts. Heeding the evidence that out-of-school factors play even larger roles than school-based factors in school performance, these districts are seeking ways to mitigate the poverty-related impediments to effective teaching and learning.
This section of the report seeks to add to that knowledge base by sharing qualitative information on how such comprehensive approaches have emerged and grown, what they look like when they are successfully implemented, and what types of outcomes and benefits result and how outcomes vary across diverse communities.

The method used to compute the theta scores allows for the calculation of theta for a given round that will not change based on later administrations of the assessments (which is not true for the scale scores, as described in the next section). Therefore, for any given child, the kindergarten, first-grade, and second-grade theta scores provided in subsequent data files will be the same as theta scores released in earlier data files, with one exception: the reading thetas provided in the base-year data file. After the kindergarten-year data collection, the methodology used to calibrate and compute reading scores changed; therefore, the reading thetas reported in the base-year file are not the same as the kindergarten reading thetas provided in the files with later-round data [emphasis added]. Any analysis involving kindergarten reading theta scores and reading theta scores from later rounds, for example an analysis looking at growth in reading knowledge and skills between the spring of kindergarten and the spring of first grade, should use the kindergarten reading theta scores from a data file released after the base year. The reading theta scores released in the kindergarten-year data file are appropriate for analyses involving only the kindergarten round data; analyses conducted with only data released in the base-year file are not incorrect, since those analyses do not compare kindergarten scores to scores in later rounds that were computed differently. However, now that the recomputed kindergarten theta scores are available in the kindergarten through first-grade and kindergarten through second-grade data files, it is recommended that researchers conduct any new analyses with the recomputed kindergarten reading theta scores. For more information on the methods used to calculate theta scores, see the ECLS-K: 2011 First-Grade and Second-Grade Psychometric Report (Najarian et al. forthcoming). (Tourangeau et al. 2017)

This course/training aims to disseminate information to helpunderstand what we do in a Routine Core Analysis Laboratory, how the data isgenerated and how to interpret the results. However, more importantly, it willhelp you understand why core analysis should be done, how it can help client,how to compile a meaningful and representative study, including obtainingrepresentative cores in the field and how to stay within budget and timeconstraints. It will also give an overview of how to handle the core in thefield and laboratory to avoid damage to the precious core and there byminimizing the error in the data obtained.
The course aims to disseminate information to help understandwhat we do in a Special Core Analysis Laboratory, how the data is generated andhow to interpret the results. The course will encompass analysis planning,sampling, sample preparation and sample selection based on the results of theRCA and petrophysics. More importantly, it will help you understand why SpecialCore analysis should be used, how it can help you, how to compile a meaningfuland representative study, and how to optimize the study to stay within budgetand time constraints.
