Access to the Data

![Page 12: Ad Hoc Reports on the Fly - Dare to Dream It! Virginia Department of Education Office of Educational Information Management 2012 MIS Conference](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499fd9c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Timeline

![Page 13: Ad Hoc Reports on the Fly - Dare to Dream It! Virginia Department of Education Office of Educational Information Management 2012 MIS Conference](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499fd9c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Development Decisions
Program the business rules
+ No new work
– Requirements gathering
– Extensive testing
– Rules about releasing data
– Rules about aggregation
– Annual ongoing maintenance
– SLOW processing time
Create tables of final data
+ Maximum control
+ Programmable update/refresh schedule
+ Improved system response time
– Program Automation
– Creating a new view of existing data
![Page 14: Ad Hoc Reports on the Fly - Dare to Dream It! Virginia Department of Education Office of Educational Information Management 2012 MIS Conference](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499fd9c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Table Structure
• De-normalized (“somewhat”)– Subgroup indicator (race, special education, LEP, etc.)– Additional fields for Gender and Race– Records for State-level, District-level and Sch-level data
• Possible: white males in Special Education• Not Possible: white males in both Special
Education & LEP programs
![Page 15: Ad Hoc Reports on the Fly - Dare to Dream It! Virginia Department of Education Office of Educational Information Management 2012 MIS Conference](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499fd9c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Data Considerations
• What data is best displayed on a map?• How should multi-year, multi-school, multi-
anything be displayed in a chart?• Is that different than multi-grade, single year?• How can a user pick one division and all the
schools within?• How do we represent suppressed data on a
chart? – a map? What data is suppressed?

![Page 17: Ad Hoc Reports on the Fly - Dare to Dream It! Virginia Department of Education Office of Educational Information Management 2012 MIS Conference](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499fd9c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Next Step – Phase 2 Reports
• Assessment Reports• Cohort Graduation and Dropout
Reports– Virginia On-Time Graduation Rate– Federal Graduation Indicator (ESEA)– Graduation/Completion Index
![Page 18: Ad Hoc Reports on the Fly - Dare to Dream It! Virginia Department of Education Office of Educational Information Management 2012 MIS Conference](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499fd9c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Assessment Reports
• Analyzed 4 years’ worth of Ad Hoc requests to determine what the BI tool had to address– Aggregate groups of data– Include more variables– AND logic – a student is in both subgroups– OR logic – a student is in one, the other or both
• Build-A-Table capability needed
![Page 19: Ad Hoc Reports on the Fly - Dare to Dream It! Virginia Department of Education Office of Educational Information Management 2012 MIS Conference](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499fd9c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
A New Table Structure
• De-normalized (“more or less”)– fields for Gender, Race, Grade, every program
and demographic for which there is data– Records for State-level, District-level and Sch-
level data
• Added more assessment-specific fields– Test type, scaled score, proficiency level,
retesting identifiers (to name a few)
![Page 20: Ad Hoc Reports on the Fly - Dare to Dream It! Virginia Department of Education Office of Educational Information Management 2012 MIS Conference](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499fd9c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Same Table Maintenance Plan
• Availability based on publicly released data
• Scheduled updates that use last update triggers in the database
• Limited human intervention required which greatly reduces the chances of errors
