Collaboration Amongst Various Agencies

Washington Education Research & Data Center Established in state law Created in 2007 when lack of longitudinal data spanning education sectors was recognized Based in a research division of the governor’s budget agency (unit-level postsecondary data system is there, too) Work is responsive to “critical questions” identified by stakeholders CTE questions that span sectors fit perfectly into ERDC agenda

ERDC Memorandum of Understanding Responsibilities and Principles for Sharing and Using P-20W Data The ERDC provides cross-sector, linked data to all data consumers in a consistent, transparent way. ERDC is building a P-20W data warehouse. Protecting the privacy of individuals is a priority. Partner agency data contributors (at the state and local levels) are experts at understanding and explaining the data. Common understanding and use of data increases its value. Complete document:

P20W SLDS in Washington State

Washington’s P-20/W SLDS Research-oriented Focuses on all students – including dropouts and those who leave college before receiving a degree or certificate K-12 SLDS feeds into the P-20W SLDS An “enterprise” approach: full early learning, K-12, postsecondary, workforce +more Cohorts can originate in any sector and tracked forward or backward Designed for single-year (Perkins 5S1) or multi-year follow- ­up

Thinking Beyond the Required Reports Employment as an outcome: Perkins 5S1 measure and TechPrep follow-up Do graduates enter the workforce immediately after leaving high school? What are the postsecondary enrollment characteristics of CTE students? Do they vary by career cluster? What are CTE students doing 6 years after leaving high school?
