FACES 2014 features a new “Core Plus” study design, which allows for more rapid and frequent data reporting (Core studies) and serves as a vehicle for studying more complex issues in greater detail with increased efficiency (Plus studies). This training will focus on the child, parent, classroom, and program Core data from fall 2014 and spring 2015 as well as the Family Engagement Plus study conducted in spring 2015. FACES 2014 project leads from Mathematica Policy Research will instruct this two-day data training, introducing researchers to the study’s purposes, history, new design, methods, instruments, and data structure; and special analytic issues such as identifying dual language learners and conducting cross-cohort analyses. There will be significant hands-on time with the data. FACES 2014 data files will be available in the summer on a restricted basis through Research Connections. Course-specific data files will be made available to participants on-site under the terms of a temporary Restricted Data Use Agreement. The workshop is free, but space is limited. Researchers interested in using the FACES 2014 data to answer policy relevant questions in early care and education are encouraged to apply. Participants must have programming experience in SAS, Stata, or SPSS. All applications must include a vita along with a cover letter describing:
