Free Summer Data Workshop
The Measures of Effective Teaching Longitudinal Database:
A Review of the MET Project and Available Data

June 9-11, 2014
Ann Arbor, MI

This three day workshop will offer a broad summary of the Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) Project and resulting Longitudinal Database (MET LDB), including the design and original goals of the MET Project, video collection and scoring procedures, in addition to available data and how they were collected.  The course will include deeper discussion of key elements of the study including the nested data structure (district, school, teacher, student), the randomization process and implications for analysis, and the student surveys.  Additionally, time will be spent on practical considerations for current and potential users of the MET data, including logistics of accessing, linking, and scoring the video data, a description of the data file structure and organization, and discussion of the application process and demonstration of the specialized data access tools provided by the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR).  Participants will have temporary access to the MET data via the ICPSR Virtual Data Enclave and Secure Video Player for the duration of the workshop, for both structured exercises and independent work.


Instructors include original MET Project Partners, MET Early Career Grantees, and ICPSR staff.  Please see the attached flyer for a full description and instructor list.  Email questions to MET-LDB-Inquiries@umich.edu.
