2025 Testimonials
"I found everything to be relevant and helpful. It definitely allowed me to reflect on my previous data collection and study procedures and plan for how I would do them differently in the future. I really appreciated having a faculty member at each table to be available to answer questions during our working sessions. That individual and specific feedback was very helpful for me."

​"I really just wanted another day of training, not less! Everything felt really germane, but I wanted more time spent on practical examples and nitty gritty details or edge cases."

"This workshop delivered such relevant and useful content for my research. I highly recommend this workshop to others in education research so that we can work towards advancing data sharing and research transparency practices within our field. This workshop is so important for early career researchers, like myself, to learn good data collection, documentation, and sharing practices that can be integrated into future projects."

"The roundtables, the knowledge and experience of all program faculty, and the table switching made the entire learning experience a phenomenal one. That set-up made the content so much more meaningful and personalized. It was one of the best professional development experiences I have participated in. And the food was great.
