4. What Kinds of Data are Collected? Student file Encrypted identifiers Demographics Course file Course outcome data (units, grades, etc) Award file Degrees, diplomas, certificates Assessment files CAHSEE and STAR (K-12 only) Custom file (locally defined) “Success at Every Level”

5. Data Security FERPA compliant Data are anonymous – personal identifier information is removed or encrypted Locally run program encrypts and validates data prior to transmission Servers in secure, Level IV data center with firewall and controlled access Security document available at www.calpass.org www.calpass.org “Success at Every Level”

6. Making Cal-PASS Work: Intersegmental Professional Learning Councils  English  Mathematics  Science  Career Tech Ed  Counseling  ELL/ESL “Success at Every Level”

7. Reports from the Cal-PASS Database Look at cohorts of students over time and between segments Can answer questions like: –How many secondary education tech prep students enroll in postsecondary education enroll in postsecondary education in the same field or major complete a postsecondary course of study within a particular timeframe successfully complete, as a secondary school student, courses that award postsecondary credit at the secondary level Several more examples at www.calpass.org/SampleReportswww.calpass.org/SampleReports
