The Southeast DSAC (Laura Tilton, Data Specialist) has set aside July 24 and August 16 to offer the following set of workshops. Workshops require a minimum of 12 participants (maximum of 24) and priority will be given to participants from regional Level 3 districts. However, we anticipate that we will able to accommodate educators from all interested Southeast districts.
Getting to Know Data Warehouse 3.0 (2.5 hours, 9:00-11:30, July 24 or August 16)
The workshop
will provide a structured
environment in which to explore data using the pre-defined reports in
the new Education Data Warehouse, including the Growth Model reports and
classroom-level reports. Participants
will access their own district or school’s data, and will have time to
run and save reports for use in planning for the 2012-2013 school year.
This workshop is appropriate for both new and previous users of the
Education Data Warehouse; all attendees must have been assigned
appropriate Security Portal access to the EDW by their district's
Directory Administrator.
Exploring MCAS Growth Data (2 hours, 12:00-2:00, July 24 or August 16)
This workshop (suggested as an extension to the previous workshop) will go
beyond an
overview of the Growth Model and focus on the use of MCAS growth data
and reports at multiple levels (district, school, classroom/group, and
student). Participants will deepen their understanding of the growth
model and how to interpret growth reports (with connections to the new
Educator Evaluation System), engage with school/district growth data
following a data analysis protocol, and learn what growth reports are
available and where to find them.
Please register via this form and let us know which workshops interest you and whether your district may be able to host the workshop. Thank you!
