The conference featured plenary presentations both by the Data Connections team and nationally-recognized statisticians and psychometricians--Dr. Mark Reckase and Dr. Sharon Lohr. The conference also had concurrent break-out sessions and workshop time to explore key questions related to modeling teacher and student data, from the perspectives of statisticians and psychometricians, school district personnel, and other educational researchers.Slides, handouts, and notes from Data Connections conference sessions, available here: http://scimath.unl.edu/dataconnections/dataconn_conference.php
