Oregon Special Education Recruitment and Retention Survey Database

Below are links to five Pivot Tables summarizing data collected from 270 plus Oregon special educators during 2002. Personal, or agency identifiable information has been excluded. No schools or teacher names exist within this database.

Technical notes

Excel 2000 or higher is required to view and manipulate the database. Excel 97 will show the numerical data in the table, but will not let you create the graphs that make this product so valuable. Using Excel 2000 allows you to choose variables to 'cross tab' with the end result automatically displayed in both chart and table formats which you can print.

The speed of the analyses is mainly dependent on computer speed and other open applications. To maximize speed, close other applications. The databases underlying each Pivot Table is not very large, so queries are usually calculated in a matter of seconds (except the very first query which may take up to two minutes).
