Abstract
This chapter discusses secondary data analysis and identifies several of the most prominent data sets used in education policy and leadership research. Existing, generalizable data allow researchers to address pressing national and systemic issues in educational leadership and policy. These common data sets provide an opportunity for comparison and replication of findings across studies. These data sets also provide more options for advanced statistical analysis. Indeed, once researchers learn how to analyze one of these main data sets, this knowledge can be applied across additional years of the same data set, extended to other available national/international surveys, and can provide an example of how future original data collections may be shared with other researchers.
