The following information was
shared during last week's “EDW User Group” webinar. See the bottom of this post to learn how you too can be part of the
user group and hear this information first-hand!
Additional Data Now Available
1. The Classroom
reports now have two years of data available. These reports currently include:
- Classroom Item Analysis Roster (IT516)
- Classroom Results by Standard (PE506)
- Performance and Growth by Teacher (PE520)
These reports are only available
to users who have been assigned the "DW-Evaluator" role. ESE has
developed guidance around assigning this role, available on the "Home"
tab within the EDW.
2. The Student Profile
report (PR600) now displays two years of course data for the selected
student(s).
Additional Functionality
1. The ability to
view your data either by the “old” MA2004
standards or by the new Common Core standards has been added to the Student
Assessment Detail report (PE606) and the Student Item Analysis Roster report (IT616),
bringing the total to six EDW reports with this option (the Test Item Analysis
Summary reports (IT301/IT401) and the Results by Strand and Topic reports (CU306/CU406)
already had this option). This option will soon be added to the Classroom Item
Analysis Roster (IT516) and the Classroom Results by Standard report (PE506).
2. The Student
Assessment Detail report (PE606), which previously printed one page per
student, now has the option for a roster display (list of many students on one
page).
3. The Growth
Distribution reports (GR302/GR402) now have an option to display multiple years
of data for a particular grade level for trend analysis.
Reminders
1. The EDW Team at DESE holds
webinars twice a month (1st Wed at 11am, 3rd Wed at 2pm) to
share information regarding new features and data in the EDW. Participants have
an opportunity to share comments, questions and/or suggestions. To join the
listserve and receive reminders about these webinars, please see the bottom of
the EDW home page.
2. The supported browsers for
the EDW are Internet Explorer and Firefox. You may experience issues with other
browsers. It is expected that at some point in the future Safari
and Chrome will also be supported.
(Thank you to Paula O'Sullivan, Data Specialist for the Greater Boston DSAC, for sharing this summary with me so that I didn't have to re-invent the wheel.)
