Ronald H. Heck is Professor of Education at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. His areas of interest include organizational theory, policy, and quantitative research methods.Scott L. Thomas is Professor and Dean of the College of Education and Social Services, University of Vermont. His specialties include sociology of education, policy, and quantitative research methods

• Preface1. Introduction2. Getting Started with Multilevel Analysis3. Multilevel Regression Models4. Extending the Two-Level Regression Model5. Methods for Examining Individual and Organizational Change6. Multilevel Models with Categorical Variables7. Multilevel Structural Equation Variables8. Multilevel Latent Growth and Mixture Models9. Data Consideration in Examining Multilevel Models

"Developing a basic modeling strategy that researchers can follow to investigate multilevel data structures can be challenging. Heck and Thomas have once again presented a must-have reference book to get the job done. This edition’s use of four different software packages and additional easy-to-follow illustrative examples enhance what was already a superb resource for both students and researchers." – George A. Marcoulides, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
