Applications are now open for the summer 2024 NAEP Data Training Workshop, which will take place on June 26–28, in Arlington, VA. Advanced graduate students, educational researchers at universities or other research organizations, analysts from state and local education agencies, and those interested in analyzing large-scale assessment data will want to check out this upcoming opportunity to learn how to conduct data analysis using NAEP data.

Doctoral students can continue to apply through February 2 for the opportunity to work with data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) alongside NAEP researchers from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the American Institutes for Research (AIR). Applicants to the 2024 NAEP Doctoral Student Internship Program will indicate their intent to conduct research in a variety of topic areas; to provide additional context for those weighing their choices, NAEP researchers Cadelle Hemphill and Brittany Boyd have answered some questions about the Re-envisioning Quantitative Information (data visualization) topic area.

With one month left to apply for the 2024 NAEP Doctoral Student Internship Program (applications close on February 2), we’d like to introduce the NAEP research community to our new internship topic area: artificial intelligence (AI).

The NAEP Doctoral Student Internship Program is entering its eighth year, and applications have just opened! Interns will have the opportunity to work directly with NAEP researchers from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the American Institutes for Research (AIR) to analyze NAEP data; contribute to the development of statistical methods and education knowledge; and help inform education policy at the national, state, and local levels. This paid internship is remote, with some covered travel to Arlington, VA, expected. Applications will remain open through February 2, 2024.

On June 21–23, the NAEP Research and Development Program hosted its first NAEP High School Transcript Study (HSTS) Data Training Workshop at the headquarters of the American Institutes for Research (AIR) in Arlington, VA. In this post, we will share some highlights from the three eventful days of data training using large-scale assessment data from the HSTS.
