  2. Conversations are Changing I am a deep believer in the power of data to drive decisions. Data gives us the roadmap to reform. It tells us where we are, where we need to go, and who is most at risk. Arne Duncan, Secretary U.S.D.E

  5. CWCS – What is it? • CWCS is the next student level collection • An extension of the Individual Student Enrollment System (ISES) • CWCS is intended to capture • the courses a student takes (using standard codes) • the teacher(s) teaching the course and • other characteristics of the course

  6. CWCS – What is it? • CWCS is intended to capture data on all K3 – 12 students • CWCS will capture grade earned for 9-12 in SY10-11

  8. ISES Coursework Completion System – WHY?

  9. CWCS – Why implement? • True – we have to, we accepted SFSF and agreed to meet the requirements of America Competes • Also True – we planned a similar collection prior to SFSF • To enable the analysis of course taking across the state • To provide more focused and secured reporting for teachers – think MDAT • Other?

  10. CWCS – Why implement? • The state is not collecting data through this new collection for the purpose of evaluating teachers. This is a local decision determined by collective bargaining.

Statewide Student Information System Proposal • Follow path taken by 10 other states • Centrally managed and hosted – the cloud • Reduce costs for: • Data entry (e.g., WSLS, ISES attendance, discipline, course work, etc.) • Managing the software and database • Negotiating/purchasing software and hardware • Creates new value: • Electronic student cumulative records transfer • Electronic transcripts • All districts have access to data warehouse tools and dashboards down to the classroom • Real time data vs. year old data

  17. Statewide Student Information System Proposal (cont.) • Seamless integration of other systems: • Learning management system (i.e., activities, lessons, units) aligned to standards • Google Apps in Education • Content management system (i.e., hosted web pages) • Library automation • Human resources • Budget and finance
