Location: Virtual
Application Deadline: June 30, 2020
This intensive training institute will build the capacity of researchers to plan and conduct high-quality impact studies of CTE programs, practices, and policies. Participants will learn from experienced CTE researchers and experts in research methodology. Topics will include CTE research exemplars, lectures on causal research designs in the context of typical CTE programs, and data labs for participants to apply the statistical concepts presented. A small class size of 16 to 18 people will allow for interaction and relationship building.
