I'm pleased to see these data available and want to share some observations, below: (1/X)

The cancellation of ECLS-K:2024 leaves educators and families without the data they need - especially in supporting children who were toddlers during the pandemic (and we know had unique early experiences!).

Massive shout out to TripleShrimp (one of our volunteers) and @quetzal1234.bsky.social (one of our Steering Committee members) for working on rescuing the #NCES DataLab tables. These have been tricky to tackle, but they've made some excellent progress

Our paper “Gaps in the College Application Gauntlet” (w Daniel Klasik & Rachel Baker) is in this #RIHE collection showcasing research using #NCES data—an invaluable resource for understanding postsec opportunity.
Articles are open access for 4 weeks: bit.ly/RIHE-NCES
Most of the NCES' 30+ surveys have been stalled since February as have the associated products, including the National Teacher and Principal Survey . Learn more about how it's used, by whom, and what makes it distinctive: www.amstat.org/docs/default...

The federal gutting of NCES—from ~100 staff to just 3—deals a major blow to data transparency + funding equity in education. IPEDS has long been vital to our work at College Transitions, and we’re a bit concerned about what’s at stake. #HigherEd #NCES

Here’s a list of Department of Education program contracts that #DOGE has reportedly canceled. I haven’t seen official confirmation of these, but it includes many well-known research and evaluation contracts. #NCES #Education
Stunned by the termination of nearly all contracts supporting NCES. Earlier in my career, I worked on NCES studies and saw firsthand how essential these data products are for families, educators, policymakers, and businesses.
Education is too critical to be left in the dark.
