Program Description: The SOE Office of Research and Faculty Development and the Department of Foundations of Education are co-sponsoring a two-day workshop in advanced structural equation modeling for doctoral students and faculty on Thursday and Friday, May 30th and 31st from 9am-5pm. The workshop will be led by Dr. Greg Hancock

Dr. Hancock is Professor, Distinguished Scholar-Teacher, and Director of the Measurement, Statistics and Evaluation program in the Department of Human Development and Quantitative Methodology at the University of Maryland, College Park, and Director of the Center for Integrated Latent Variable Research (CILVR). His research interests include structural equation modeling and latent growth models, and the use of latent variables in (quasi)experimental design.

The workshop is FREE and will cover a number of useful topics for doctoral students and faculty, including actor-partner interdependence models, moderation/mediation/conditional process models for measured variables, models for scale reliability, handling missing data and categorical/ nonnormal data, and more. We will begin with a review of basic SEM concepts, so it's ok if you are a little rusty!

If anyone has questions they can email Dr. Michael Broda, assistant professor, Department of Foundations of Education, at mdbroda@vcu.edu.
