4. Importance of Data Privacy
6/16/2018
Importance of Data Privacy
Federal and state laws govern data privacy, confidentiality and security and require CDE to collect data that may include personally identifiable information (PII).
Name, address, personal identifier
Other indirect identifiers (e.g., date or place of birth)
Information that, alone or in combination, is linked or linkable to a specific student that would allow a reasonable person in the school community, who does not have personal knowledge of the relevant circumstances, to identify the student with reasonable certainty. (§ 99.3) 4

5. How to Share Data Check local policies for restrictions
Use secure-file transfer protocols
Call CDE with questions about how to transmit PII securely
Do not send PII over or fax
Do not use PII in trainings
Do not share PII with unauthorized individuals
Do not share passwords

14. 2013-14 Civil Rights Data Collection
As of Wednesday, October 7th 173 LEAs had certified. Thank you!
One additional LEA was more than 90% complete.
Due date was August 21, 2015
Need assistance? Contact CRDC Partner Support Center
Phone: (844)
Notes:
If any data appears incorrect, then overwrite.
If find issues, work with CDE to correct for collection.
Keep your eyes open for the CDE Data Pre-population Survey!

15. RITS/EDIS 15

16. RITS Be sure to include full information including full middle names
Do not submit students again to RITS if you’ve already submitted them. One way to do this is to submit partial batches.
Please check to see if a student is already in RITS before creating a new student record. This will reduce the large number of duplicates.
If updating a record, be sure to update field with school as this field reverts automatically to first school on list. Update one field at a time and hit save to prevent it from going to case review. 16

17. Non-Public Schools 17

18. Non-Public Schools
Mailings went out to Non-Public school requesting pupil count.
Forms will be sent to the District October Count Respondents
CDE is moving Non-Public Counts to Data Pipeline so if a school does not report it may impact funding in the future.
Forward completed forms to:
Dennis St. Hilaire
Data Services Unit
201 E. Colfax Ave
Denver, Co 80203 18

19. Non-Public School
Next year Districts will input non-pupil counts into Data Pipeline.
Non-Public schools lists are not up to date. We need to make this list clean!!!!!
Data now coming from Data Pipeline. Some of the data is over 5 years old.
Need assistance in making sure that the schools are in operation and addresses are correct.
Please notify me on closed non-public schools.
Notify me if the school is a public school and needs removal from this list.
Notify me if this school is open but does not report students.
If there are schools not on the list please have them complete a count form.
Now that data will be in Data Pipeline it will link to other collections like special education and CPP in the future. 19

31. Deadlines
Due to the promptness of districts in submitting their Phase I data, the Cross LEA Validation phase is now open!
District will need to check their Cross LEA validation errors and submit adjustments by Thursday, October 22nd
Cross LEA adjustments will allow districts to reclaim dropouts from prior collection years and improve their graduation rates
Districts must log into the Cognos EOY Cross LEA Edit Report to see the full list of Cross LEA warnings 31

32. Frequently Asked Questions
The number of Cross LEA Validation Errors and the Cross LEA Edit Cognos Report will not change even after adjustments and edits have been made
If the Cognos EOY Cross LEA Edit Report says that you have no data available, there are no Cross LEA warnings in your data
Warnings SE801, SE803, SE804, SE805, SE806, SE809, SE810 require districts to create an all new Adjustment file. You should not change the SSA to address these warnings
Warnings SE802, SE807, SE808 and SE811 ask districts to adjust their SSA file. SE802 require collaboration between districts. Please do not wait to contact the other district. 32

Student Biographical Data 50

51. Pre-ID/SBD Information ACCESS for ELLs
ACCESS for ELLs Overview
English Proficiency exam for English Learners in grades K-12
Consists of four domains: Listening, Reading, Speaking, & Writing
Redesigned for New test (ACCESS 2.0) is available online as well as on paper for students in grades 1-12, Kindergarten ACCESS test is still exclusively paper-based.
Student test Window is 1/11/16 – 2/12/16
ACCESS for ELLs pre-ID pull will be Nov. 12, 2015
Pulled from student interchange tag of none
Please make sure data is uploaded
ACCESS for ELLs SBD will be in March, 2016
We anticipate that the SBD process will be similar to what was used in spring, 2015, however, we are reviewing that process to see what improvements can be made

52. Pre-ID/SBD Information CMAS
CMAS Overview
CMAS includes both Colorado-developed Science and Social Studies tests and PARCC-developed English Language Arts and Math tests.
ELA/Math will have a single test window instead of two
Both ELA/Math and Sci/SS will be on a single vendor system (PearsonAccessnext)
Student test window is 4/11/16 – 4/29/16. Districts administering online tests may open the ELA/Math test window early if technology capacity is limited. Check with your DAC regarding the test window for your district.
CMAS pre-ID pull will be December, 2015
Pulled from student interchange tag of none
Please make sure data is uploaded
CMAS SBD is expected to be in late June or early July, 2016
Reviewing process and looking for improvements
Some changes will occur due to the reduction of ELA/Math from two windows to one, having the same test window for all content areas, and moving all contents onto PearsonAccessnext 52

53. Pre-ID/SBD Information Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM)
Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) Overview
Alternate assessment in English Language Arts and Math for students with significant cognitive disabilities
This is a very small set of students in grades 3-11 (approximately 5,500 statewide)
Student test window is the same as PARCC ELA/Math
DLM Pre-ID
Student registration into the vendor system (KITE) was rolled over from last year’s participants. Therefore, a Pre-ID pull was not performed.
KITE is currently open so that Districts can update student demographics and enroll any new students eligible for this alternate test.
DLM SBD will be in May, 2016
We anticipate that the SBD process will be similar to what was used in spring, 2015, however, we are reviewing that process to see what improvements can be made.
Please note DLM will replace the previous 11th grade alternate assessment for (there will not be a separate collection for the 11th grade alternate)

54. Pre-ID/SBD Information 11th Grade College Entrance Exam and New 10th Grade Exam
CO will not be giving PARCC ELA/Math in 10th grade this year.
HB requires a new exam for students in 10th grade. This exam must be aligned to both Colorado Academic Standards and the 11th grade college entrance exam.
11th Grade College Entrance Exam
Colorado ACT has been used since Contract expired this summer.
New legislation (HB ) requires a procurement process every five years for both the 10th grade exam and the 11th grade college entrance exam.
CDE will know more about test dates and the data processes once the RFP process has been completed and a new contract awarded.

55. SBD Information Feedback from 2014-15
We know that SBD took a lot of time and effort in Sorry for the frustration!
CDE is reviewing the SBD process and appreciates your feedback
We have heard both the good and the bad from you, including:
SBD are the easiest collections
SBD timing (summer) is terrible
Districts need more notification about the SBD process and deadlines
Many additional and specific ideas and suggestions

56. SBD Information Changes for 2015-16
We are working on ways to improve SBD, however the general process will not change significantly this year.
We are still gathering requirements and identifying issues
We are working with multiple assessments delivered by multiple vendors. We are looking to standardize as much as possible, but there will still be small differences between collections.
In the cases where CO is participating in a multi-state consortium to develop and administer a test (such as PARCC, DLM, and ACCESS for ELLs), our flexibility is limited due to the need to find solutions that will work for all participating states.

57. SBD Information Changes for 2015-16
Small improvements will be made
PARCC ELA/Math will be administered in one test window rather than two. This will eliminate the need to validate the merging of components through the summative file review process.
Both ELA/Math and Sci/SS will have the same test window and will use the same version of PearsonAccessnext. We are hoping that this will allow us to do a single SBD for all of CMAS. There are some scheduling contingencies that may prevent this from occurring, but this is our hope.
Scheduling considerations
SBD windows are still expected to be 7 to 10 days
CDE opens the SBD window as soon as possible after the completion of the test.
Cannot open SBD until we receive the score file from the vendor
Scoring and validating tests takes time – paper/pencil tests, human scoring of constructed response, etc.
CDE does not receive any data until we can receive all data
As a result of these factors, SBDs for March/April tests are typically not ready to open until June.
Goal is to have all SBDs done before 4th of July 57

58. Contact Information
Suggestions or Questions? Different members of the assessment data team are responsible for each SBD collection. If you have questions about a collection for a specific assessment, please contact the Assessment Unit staff member responsible for that collection. For general questions about SBDs, please contact Sarah Underwood or Jasmine Carey You can also call the general phone number for the Assessment Unit at and Margo will direct you to the person who can best answer your question.
