  1. Coordinating ARRA and EDFacts – An Update for PESC Ross Santy Director, EDFacts U. S. Department of Education October 20, 2009

  2. EDFacts Purpose • Primary goal: Consolidate collection and storage of information on K-12 education programs. • Benefit: Reduced burden on states • Benefit: Improved data governance at ED • Benefit: Access to cross-program data • Challenge: Change in process for SEA reporting • Challenge: Cultural change @ ED

  3. Mandatory EDFacts Reporting: SY 2008-09 • ED will monitor timeliness against usage dates (included in submission plans). • Quarterly messages to Chiefs concerning EDFacts deadlines, expectations, and status of state reporting • Partner Support resources will be focused on state assistance • EDFacts data will be used to maximum extent to answer Consolidated State Performance Report questions

  4. Federal K-12 Program Reporting in 2009 CSPR EDFacts (Title I, Title III, IDEA, GFSA, etc) ARRA- 1512 SFSF Phase II App. Race to the Top App.

  5. Stacking Up the New ARRA Grants

  9. Action Steps to Ensure Strategic Planning and Implementation of all ARRA Grants • Governor’s Office & SEA Engage LEAs in Development of Overall State Education Reform Plan • Governor’s Office & SEA gather input from LEAs on their strengths and weakness in terms of the four reform priorities. Then together with LEAs, business leaders, parents, teachers, and community partners, SEA maps out overall plans that incorporate these reform priorities into a state-level framework for its ARRA applications and implementation of ARRA funds. October November Dec . – Feb. LEAs Implement Title I and IDEA ARRA plans LEA planning and applying to SEA for Education Technology (Ed Tech) grants Partnerships submit TQP applications to ED (due 10/6) SEA applies for SFSF Phase Two grant (due early Nov) SEA applies to ED for SLDS grant (due Nov. 19th) SEA/Gov work on RTTapplication (due mid-winter) SEA works on SIG & i3 applications (due mid-winter) • Action Steps: • State and local Title I and IDEA directors review ED Use of Funds Guidance for both programsand identify possible ways to complement each others’ spending plans around one or more of the ARRA reform areas. • SEA briefs state and local Title I and IDEA directors on status of other ARRA funding sources and status of upcoming applications. • SEA and state Title I and IDEA directors work with local Title I and IDEA directors to identify specific ways to contribute to the applications for new ARRA grants (i.e. supply data, ARRA spending plans and recommendations). This effort will improve the quality of ARRA applications for new grants and maximize the opportunities for cohesive and sustainable reform efforts. • Action Steps: • State and local Title I and IDEA directors, LEA data managers, and state SLDS project directors meet to identify opportunities to use district data models at state level. • TQP applicants brief local Title I and IDEA directors on submissions – identify links to other ARRA grants. • Governor’s office and SEA briefs all LEAs on its SFSF Phase Two application which is the baseline for other ARRA grants. • ED Tech applicants (LEAs) meet with local Title I and IDEA directors, and other education officials, to identify possible uses of Ed Tech funding to complement overall district reform planning. • Action Steps: • Governors, SEAs and LEAs meet to review RTT and SIG applications together to outline an approach that builds on other ARRA funding. • SLDS project directors, Ed Tech applicants, and state and local Title I and IDEA directors are briefed on RTT SIG and i3 applications – discuss connections and opportunities. • Governors and SEAs meet with counterparts from other states to exchange reform ideas, best practices, and opportunities to form consortia. • Governors and SEAs review Title I & IDEA use of ARRA funds and applications for TQP, SFSF Phase Two, SLDS, Ed Tech, and SIG to build upon for RTT and i3 applications.

  15. National Education Data Model (NEDM) • A comprehensive, local education, conceptual data model that provides a common structure with which schools can: • Evaluate and improve software tools • Enhance the movement of student information from one Local Educational Agency (LEA) to another and to the State Education Agency (SEA) • Inform instruction and enhance data quality 16 <footer>

  16. Initial NEDM Framework SEA Board SEA IEU LEA Board Finance Facilities LEA LEA Staff Food Service Accountability School Transportation Staff Qualifications Instructional Programs/ Curriculum Course/ Class Staff Professional Development Programs Safety & Discipline Student Activities Health Attendance Assessment 17

  17. NEDM: the Next Phase – Federal Reports and Higher Education • This phase has included the addition of federal report information (EDFacts, CCD, etc), linkages to Handbook information and transcript information between pK-12 and Higher Education. • Official rollout fall 2009 • Working site: http://nedm.sifassociation.org/datamodel_review/Index.aspx 18 <footer>

  18. Concluding Remarks • Efforts to better align data initiatives underway at USED • EDFacts • SLDS • Common Data Standards • National Education Data Model • SFSF metrics seek to leverage and accelerate work of longitudinal data systems • Connections between teacher and student records • Alignment of K-12 and higher education data <footer>
