The National Center for Education Statistics is accepting applications for its Fall Cooperative System Fellows Program, which will take place October 26-30.
The program is a week-long training and technical assistance event delivered onsite at NCES in Washington, D.C. for about 30 local/state/higher education/library participants annually. NCES fellows attend a series of activities and presentations by NCES staff on some of the center’s major data collections, such as the Schools and Staffing Survey, the National Educational Longitudinal Study, and the Common Core of Data. Further, staff report on dissemination practices, projects to automate local and state education data systems, and efforts to integrate existing data collections. Time is also set aside for fellows to explore their professional interests and objectives.
The NCES Cooperative System Fellows Program is open to state and local school district staff in elementary/secondary education, state personnel for postsecondary education, and staff from all types in libraries. Registration is free. NCES provides air travel and housing for fellows, and reimburses meals and other expenses at the federal per diem rate.
Apply online . Deadline is Sept. 21. Letters of acceptance will be sent out the week of Sept. 28.
