Last Call for Data Warehouse Basics Workshop - this Wednesday!

Data Warehouse: Basics and More
Wednesday, June 29, 2011, 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Location: Bourne High School
Instructor: Laura Tilton, DSAC Data Specialist
Cost: Free

This workshop for new Data Warehouse users will combine the essential elements of the DW101 and DW201 courses from the ESE, including the cycle of inquiry and use of the pre-defined reports. The new Student Growth Model and related reports will also be explored. While sample data will be used for the introductory activities, participants will have the opportunity to begin to investigate data for their own schools/districts.

All participants will need to make sure they have been granted access to the Data Warehouse in the security portal (and know their username and password) by their district’s Directory Administrator. This needs to be done by June 28 at the very latest, as the Data Warehouse requires an overnight wait for access changes. The instructor for the workshop does not have the ability to assign or change Data Warehouse access.

I will also be offering a "refresher" course on August 22 (also listed at the CCC link above) which will include information about the "new" features of the data warehouse (if available.)
