About the Workshop
This workshop introduces attendees to the Stanford Education Data Archive (SEDA), a database
of nationally-comparable academic achievement data made publicly available by The Educational Opportunity Project (EOP) at Stanford University. SEDA is based on roughly 430 million standardized test scores from 3rd-8th grade students in U.S. public schools,
districts, counties, and states from the 2008-09 through 2017-18 school years. These data enable nationwide research to better understand student achievement and educational opportunity.
In this workshop, the EOP team will provide a description of SEDA’s contents, showcase examples
of correlational and causal research that can be conducted with SEDA, and highlight relevant validation studies that support the use of SEDA in different types of research. Attendees can explore the SEDA data before and during the training using our interactive
data explorer (https://edopportunity.org/explorer/)
or by downloading the data files (https://edopportunity.org/get-the-data/)
and using statistical software (e.g., R or Stata). For more information on SEDA and research using SEDA please visit the Research section of the EOP website (https://edopportunity.org/research/).
