Agenda • Vision and mock-ups (notional) • Vendors’ scope of services • High level architecture and timeline • Program governance and year 1 milestones • Partnering with the Big 5/RICs • Discussion questions • What’s next
Vision Make student data available to New York’s educators, students, and their families to support instruction and student learning. Make curriculum and instructional resources available to New York’s educators and families to support instructional improvement and professional development. Create sustainable and open technology that promotes innovation, flexibility, and choice and enables local education agencies (LEAs), schools, and regional organizations to develop or procure additional applications or new functionality more rapidly and at reduced cost. Leverage emerging technology interoperability standards for education applications to remove barriers to innovation and scaling of successful tools for personalizing learning.

Partnering with the Big 5/RICs • Near-term: data collection and integration services • 2013/2014 data collection requirements for SMS vendors • Big 5/RICs to submit data extracts including new data domains/elements to Level 2 for ingestion into the SLI/EDP • supports various data views and the calculation of Early Warning Indicator Flags in DDS • Key data domains are: attendance, behavior, course grades, credits, and GPA • Extracts from interim, benchmark assessment providers • Load to Level 1 and leverage CSV, XML, or web services to send to SLI for ingestion • Near-term: opportunities to develop applications on the SLI platform • SLC has compiled user research from multiple districts and potential end user of Ed Tech apps, and this info is publicly available • As a pilot SEA, NYSED can connect Big 5 IT departments and RICs to key technical resources within the SLC for training and support to fully leverage these technologies • Long-term: maintaining a sustainable and open technology that promotes innovation, flexibility, and choice • NYSED aims to enable LEAs to contract with the SLC at a low cost in order to leverage data services and access to application providers who operate on the platform • NYSED will work with the Big 5 and RICs to determine how to plan for this transition, to build capacity around data integration, and to continue to leverage statewide services (e.g. identity management) and share open source technologies (e.g. Portal) that will benefit LEAs
Discussion questions • We aim to deliver product demonstrations in April/May 2013, enable LEAs to select Dashboard solutions over the summer, and deliver product training in August/September before users access the real, live system in October 2013. • From your perspective, does this schedule make sense or would you suggest revising this approach based on other school-level activities and availability of staff? • What questions do we need to answer for LEAs between now and deliver of product demonstrations so that they can determine whether to leverage the EDP or continue using existing tools? When do districts begin to make these purchasing/licensing decisions? • What are the critical types of data that users need to view and analyze in a DDS in order to see value in the tool? How often do they need to access this data throughout the school year? • What are your burning questions or concerns regarding the EDP solution and implementation approach? • What is the best forum/venue to provide updates on the EDP program and to elicit your feedback (e.g. monthly or quarterly Big 5 meeting)?
What’s next • Mid-January- Finalize recurring meeting structure and schedule meetings across EDP program • End of January - Finalize Baseline Architecture (Portal, CMS, IDM, SLI, DDS) • End of March - Finalize and share program schedule with the program community
