Data Collection and Reports

“Growth model”

Performance plus: Dashboards (School secure access)

Data Flow (let’s first discuss what data and how the data gets into PerformancePLUS. School sends data from SIS to state i4see data warehouse Lots of validation and cleansing. Student data and assessment data is stored in DOE secure databases Testing Companies send assessment data to the NH DOE after signed release from LEA DOE formats data and sends nightly updates to Performance PLUS Value Added Data becomes accessible to LEA via DOE Single Sign On system, that ‘passes-thru’ user to Hosted PerformancePLUS system

What Data is transferred We transfer data nightly to the PerformancePLUS system – Student Demographics – Student and Teacher Roster Data – Student Assessment Data (submitted periodically) – Student Group Data (submitted annually, unless specified) IEP Status (monthly), LEP status, Homeless Indicator, Free & Reduced Lunch Indicator, 21 st CCLC program, college enrollment, attendance, and suspension

Data transfer (cont.) Additionally, schools submit their own data – Local Assessments – Locally created student groups – Response to Instruction / Intervention Data Schools can also enter their own curriculum and instruction maps in curriculumCONNECTOR Schools can then use this data to inform instruction… Upload Frequency

EXAMPLES OF DISTRICT USES Teachers in Gilford analyze student performance in their anticipated classes prior to student arrival in the fall. Timberlane provided access to parents. Hooksett used common assessments in math to drive instruction. Derry performed a multi-year initiative to drive instruction based upon data -- increasing student performance for special education.
