Introduction The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation contracted with NORC to create a dataset of high school and postsecondary transcript information for Cohort I of the Washington State Achievers Tracking and Longitudinal Study. This dataset is intended to assist the Foundation and its Research Advisory Committee in developing answers to a number of priority research questions concerning WSA Achievers, including the type and level of high school curriculum that is available to WSA applicants, and the influence of the availability of rigorous high school programming on postsecondary success. NORC received permission to use high school transcript data for research from 335 Cohort I Achievers, of which 325 had been received in time to be included in this dataset and analysis. Of 88 Cohort I Achievers who were reported by the Washington Education Foundation (WEF) to have graduated from college or university in 2005, NORC received permission from 41 to request postsecondary transcripts from their degree-granting institution.1 Of these, 34 are included in this dataset and analysis. Appendix I includes a discussion of the representativeness of the consents received for this project.

Section 1. High School Transcripts

1. Cohort I High School Transcripts In Fall 2005, NORC began and completed data entry and course coding of 325 WSA Cohort I Achievers transcripts. Table 1 presents a breakdown of the transcripts received from the WEF which were data entered for this project.

1 As reported in the WSA Year 4 Tracking Report, NORC received 63 college and university transcripts for Cohort I Achiever graduates. However, due to an error in the wording of the consent form for 29 of these, NORC can only release data for 34 of the transcripts received. Follow up requests for appropriate consent forms will be sent to the 29 Achiever graduates and the data from these transcripts will be made available when these are received.

2. Data entry procedures NORC contacted each of the 16 Achievers schools providing high school transcripts for the project. Course catalogs were requested from each institution, as well as information concerning the reporting of course credits.2 Transcript data was recorded using a SurveyCraft instrument developed originally for the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth/97 (NLSY/97) transcript study. Procedures for data entry were adapted from those used by the NLSY transcript study. Each transcript was submitted to an edit process, whereby courses, tests, GPA, and term sequence were highlighted, term credits were highlighted or computed, and special course attributes such as Honors or Gifted and Talented type were identified and highlighted. Editors sequenced terms chronologically within schools, beginning with the most recently attended school. A copy of an edited transcript is included in Appendix VII. Where editors or data entry clerks identified questions or missing data in transcripts, an editing problem sheet was filled out and submitted to survey staff for retrieval calls to the transcript high school. A copy of this problem sheet is included in Appendix II. Grades and GPA were reported in a variety of ways; no effort has been made to regularize or convert either grades or GPA in the dataset. After editing, each transcript was keyed using the SurveyCraft instrument. Ten percent of all cases were double-keyed and adjudicated by supervisory staff. The training manuals and data entry policy decisions are included in Appendices II and VI.

2.1 Bilingual courses A total of 29 high school students in the dataset were recorded as taking bilingual courses at some point in their transcripts. Courses listed as “English as a Second Language”, “English as a Second Language Skills Lab”, or “Transitional English” were coded as such. Where the course title indicated bilingual programming (i.e.,”ESL” or “ESOL”), the course was coded according to the course title (e.g. “US HIST ESL”), without reference to language. All transcripts where bilingual courses were identified in this way were designated “bilingual.” Table 3 presents the breakdown of students with a record of bilingual programming by race/ethnicity.

2 A copy of the call sheet used for requesting credit reporting information is included in Appendix III.

2.2 Special education “Special education” courses were coded and flagged as such if the transcript school confirmed the special education status of the course. If even one such course was present for a transcript, the flag for “special education” for the transcript was set to reflect this. A total of 20 students had transcripts reporting special education. Table 4 presents a breakdown of the students whose transcripts reported special education by race/ethnicity. “Special education” courses are distinguished from “remedial” or below-grade courses, which are coded as such but not specifically flagged.

2.3 Gifted/honors courses Type of course was captured at the transcript level and at the individual course level. If a course title indicated that a course was Honors, Gifted and Talented, Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate, the course type flag was set to reflect this. Even if one such course was present for a transcript, the flag for the transcript was set to reflect this as well. Additionally, if a separate transcript indicator (i.e., an “H” in an “Honors” column) was present, the course and transcript were coded and flagged accordingly. Since only some Honors courses have specific codes in the CSSC, where an Honors code was not available in the CSSC, NORC coded a course identified as “Honors” with the most appropriate regular code and set the course type flag to reflect Honors. A total of 191 students had transcripts reporting gifted/talented or honors programming. Table 5 presents the frequencies of students with Honors, Gifted or AP/IB classes, broken down by race/ethnicity.

2.4. GPA Where grade point average (GPA) is recorded it is reported. The unweighted value is recorded where both are present. The district GPA is recorded rather than the state GPA where both are reported. Where a cumulative GPA is not reported, the last reported GPA is recorded.

2.5. Class rank Class rank was recorded from the last year available.

2.6. Middle school courses Middle school courses were recorded when they appeared on the high school transcript and had credits associated with them. In cases such as these, the middle school term was recorded as any high school term would be recorded, but only the courses carrying credits were included in data entry. Where middle school terms were reported with all classes bearing credit, all classes were recorded as such. However, where middle school terms were reported and no credit was reported for any classes in the term, all classes were recorded and credits were recorded as missing.

2.7. School coding High school identifiers from the National Center for Education Statistics Common Core of Data (CCD) were searched for all transcripts during receipt control. These were merged into the dataset after data entry was completed. Where transcripts recorded college and university course taking, IPEDS codes were searched and merged after data entry was completed.

2.8. Standardized tests High school transcripts received from the WEF for this project did not include standardized test scores, either for PSAT, SAT or AP exams.

2.9. Carnegie credits Twelve of the 16 WSA Achiever High Schools confirmed that their transcripts reported course credit using Carnegie units. NORC was unable to confirm the use of Carnegie units for Foster, Stevenson, and Mt. Tahoma high schools. Truman Center reported that they did not use Carnegie units in reporting credit.

3. Coding procedures Each course recorded on the transcript was data entered by NORC staff, and for each course the following information was captured where it was available: Information by term: Grade level of student Type of term Term beginning and ending dates Credits earned during the term Information by course within the term: Course title Course Number Course Department Credits earned for the course Grade earned for the course Course type (remedial, honors, gifted if specified) Course level (introductory, advanced if specified) Once all available term and course level data was captured, these variables listed above were extracted and used in an Access database to enable coding of individual courses according to the CSSC (2000).3 There were 16,896 individual high school courses coded. Where coders identified a question or a problem in coding an individual course, the case was referred to survey staff for review and retrieval. Calls were placed to the transcript school to resolve coding questions.

3 A listing of CSSC codes is included in Appendix VIII.

After individual course coding was completed, NORC staff performed a case-by-case review of all coded transcripts, analyzing coding decisions based on the sequencing and context of the full transcript record. Coding policy decisions were recorded and used throughout the coding and review processes and are included in Appendix X. A number of special attributes of individual courses, such as “Running Start” and “CLG” (for college level courses taken during high school) could not be captured using the codeframe. Some attributes (such as ‘extended’ and ‘alternative’, remedial courses taken at the Community College level) could not be clarified with the transcript school. In order to capture this information, the course type flag was extended to include these additional attributes, as well as ESL, special education, and gifted/honors. Frequencies for these course flags are presented in Table 6.

4. Development of a “college prep” composite variable NORC was charged with developing a “college prep” composite variable in accordance with Clifford Adelman’s4 “academic intensity” (ACRES) variable for the WSA Transcripts dataset. This variable is based for the most part on calculation of Carnegie units achieved in six curriculum categories (Math, English, Science, Social Sciences, Foreign Language and Computer Sciences). The remaining two of the eight components of the “academic intensity” variable are based on highest math level achieved and on the number of AP courses completed. In adapting the ACRES composite variable for use with the WSA high school transcripts dataset, NORC added a ninth category for International Baccalaureate (IB) courses. These are calculated and included separately in the composite variables file. NORC has calculated values independently for each of the categories of ACRES as well as for the IB category. Summary calculations based on these categories can be calculated using the composite variables file. NORC has calculated the highest and near-highest gradation for ACRES for the high school transcripts included in the WSA dataset and delivers these in the composite variables file as COLGPREP (“college prep”). Table 6 presents the total of students in the WSA dataset whose academic intensity was recorded at the highest or near-highest level.

4. Coding procedures Coding procedures for college and university transcripts were identical to those followed in the high school transcript data entry project, with the exception that questions were resolved by consulting the online websites and website course catalogs of the degree granting institutions. College and university transcripts were coded using the Taxonomy of Postsecondary Courses based on the National Transcript Samples: 20035, which was published as an appendix to Clifford Adelman’s The Empirical Curriculum: Changes in Postsecondary Course-Taking, 1972-2000.6 Coders were trained specifically in the use of this new codeframe, and coding and code review involved consulting the hard-copy version of the taxonomy, a locally posted html version, and a third version of the codeframe which was searched through the coding Access database. Coders and code reviewers for college and university transcripts consulted the student transcript, the university web catalog, and the coding taxonomy in resolving coding questions. A total of 1,398 college and university courses were coded for this dataset; two percent (24) were classified as “uncodeable”.

Section 3. File structure The WSA Transcripts Dataset is comprised of three separate files. All files are in SPSS 12.0 format.

• The Student Level file includes summary demographic information about the students and coding of the transcript schools, flags for bilingual, special education and honors/gifted programming.

• The Course Level file includes data about all terms and courses recorded.

• The Composite variables file includes the individual variable calculations for ACRES.

Student level file WSA_Student_level_consent_r.sav This file includes 359 records at the student level, 325 for high school transcripts and 34 for college or university transcripts. This file is linked to the other files and to the WSA main data files by study identification number (SU_ID).

Course level File WSA_Course_level_consent_r.sav This file includes 18,294 records at the course level. Term and course level data are included in this file, which is linked to the other transcript files and to the WSA main data files by SU_ID. This file includes variables by which the data file is sequenced according to school, term and course. These are LOOPSCHL (for the “school loop”), LOOPTMS (for the “term loop”) and LOOPCURS (for the “course loop”). These variables concatenated with the SU_ID (UNIQUESU_ID) provide a unique identifier for every record in the course level file.

Composite variable file Agg_composite_vars_r.sav This file includes 325 records at the student level. It is linked to the other transcript files and to the WSA main data files by SU_ID. It is comprised of calculated ACRES variables based on CSSC course codes and Carnegie credits earned. Summary gradations for these categories are provided only for the highest and near-highest academic intensity levels (COLGPREP).

Securing Permission for Transcript Use from the First Cohort of Washington State Achievers:

An Analysis of Consent Rates

Executive Summary

As part of the Washington State Achievers (WSA) Longitudinal Study, NORC asked the first cohort of 529 Achievers for permission to use, for research purposes, the high school transcript information they provided to the Washington Education Foundation (WEF) during the Achiever application process.7 The requests yielded a total of 335 consents, 325 of which were received in time for the transcripts to be processed and coded. To assess whether some major subgroups within the Cohort I Achievers population were more likely than others to grant authorization to use their high school transcripts, we looked at consent rates by race/ethnicity, gender, and receipt of Achiever funds (e.g., whether or not the student received Achiever funds for the 2003-2004 academic year). We also looked at the consent rates of respondents to the baseline and first follow-up surveys--as a whole and by race/ethnicity and gender--to assess the degree to which transcript information would be available for analysis along with the survey data. Key Findings • Close to 63 percent of the Achiever population agreed to release the information in their

high school transcripts for research purposes. • Achievers were about as likely to grant authorization to use their transcript information as

they were to participate in the first follow-up survey. This relationship holds for the population of Achievers as a whole and by race/ethnicity, gender, and receipt of Achiever funds.

• Only a small percent of Achievers who responded to one of the requests for permission

actually declined to authorize use of their high school transcript information. • Consent rates for the population of Achievers differ by race/ethnicity, gender, and receipt

of Achiever funds. The differences follow the same pattern as the differences among the groups in their response rates to the first follow-up survey.

7 The Achiever population originally included 530 recipients, but one member is now deceased. The transcripts for all students granting permission were available from WEF.

• Close to 70 percent of respondents to the baseline survey granted permission. • Close to 89 percent of respondents to the first follow-up survey granted permission.

• Consent rates of respondents to the baseline survey vary considerably by race/ethnicity

and gender. • Consent rates of respondents to the first follow-up survey are fairly consistent across

race/ethnicity and gender.

Conclusions and Recommendations • The consent rates for respondents to the baseline survey and especially those for

respondents to the first follow-up survey are relatively high, providing a good foundation for the analysis of the transcript information along with responses to the baseline or first follow-up survey.

• The consent rates of respondents to the baseline survey vary considerably by

race/ethnicity and gender suggesting that the analysis of transcript information in the baseline data would benefit from the generation of a separate set of survey weights (for the subgroup of respondents who granted permission) to reduce potential biases due to differences among the consent rates of the racial/ethnic and gender groups.

• Even though consent rates for respondents are relatively high, it will be important to look

for differences between Achievers who granted authorization and those who did not to aid in the analysis and interpretation of the transcript data. Information in the first follow-up survey, the baseline survey, and the WEF database should prove useful for this purpose.

• If permissions are sought in other cohorts, the process of securing consent should begin at

the time of the baseline survey to obtain the highest number of permissions possible and the broadest coverage of the Achiever population.

Securing Permission for Transcript Use from the First Cohort of Washington State Achievers:

An Analysis of Consent Rates I. Background The process of securing the consent of the Cohort I Achievers to use information in their high school transcripts for research purposes began in 2003, roughly one year after the baseline survey, as part of the first tracking effort. Along with a request for updated contact information, the Achievers were asked to fill out a form granting or declining permission to use their transcript information for research purposes. In 2004, a consent form was incorporated into the mailing of the first follow-up survey in an attempt to reach Achievers who did not respond during tracking. In 2005, Achievers who had not yet granted or declined permission were asked again as part of that year’s tracking effort. Finally, in the fall of 2005, Achievers who had not responded to one of the earlier requests were sent a copy of the consent form along with a letter on WEF letterhead encouraging them to grant permission. As shown in Exhibit 1, the overwhelming majority of consents, over 95 percent, were obtained during the 2003 tracking effort and the first follow-up survey. Over 50 percent of the total permissions were granted as part of the request that accompanied the first follow-up survey.

II. Consent Rates for the Population of Cohort I Achievers In all, 335 Achievers, or close to 63 percent of the population of 529 Achievers, agreed to release their high school transcript information for research purposes. Only 23 (or about 6 percent) of the 358 Achievers who responded to the request in one of the mailings (e.g., filled out a consent form) actually declined permission to use their high school transcript information. However, another 19 respondents to the first follow-up survey returned a blank consent form along with a “filled out” questionnaire. Exhibits 2 through 4 display the consent rates for the population of Achievers by gender, race/ethnicity, and whether or not the student received Achiever funds during the 2003-2004 academic year along with the response rates to the first follow-up survey.8 Overall, the exhibits reveal that the percent of Achievers granting permission in each subgroup is in close accord with that subgroup’s response rate to the first follow-up survey. The strong correspondence between the rates is due to two factors: • Most Achievers who granted permission during the 2003 tracking activities also

participated in the first follow-up survey. • Most respondents to the first follow-up survey who had not yet granted permission did

so when they completed the first follow-up survey. Consent rates by race/ethnicity. Of the five racial/ethnic groups, Asian/Pacific Islanders and Whites/Caucasians were the most likely to grant permission with consent rates of 70 and 65 percent, respectively (see Exhibit 2). They were also the most likely to respond to the first follow-up survey with response rates of 72 and 71 percent, respectively. Blacks/African-Americans and Others were the least likely of the groups to consent, with rates of 50 percent or below. They were also the least likely to respond to the first follow-up survey with response rates of 50 percent or below. Hispanic/Latino Americans were somewhere in between the other groups with a consent rate of 57 percent and a response rate of 62 percent to the first follow-up survey.

8 Consent rates in Exhibits 2 through 6 are based on the 325 consents that were received in time for the transcripts to be processed and coded.

Consent rates by gender. Overall, female Achievers were more likely to grant permission than their male counterparts, with a consent rate of 65 percent compared to a rate of 54 percent for the males (see Exhibit 3). Females were also more likely to participate in the first follow-up survey with a response rate of 68 percent compared to a rate of 59 percent for males. Again, the consent rates are in rather good agreement with the response rates to the first follow-up survey.

and those who did not (see Exhibit 4). Close to 71 percent of those receiving funds agreed to release their transcript information for research purposes, while only 32 percent of those who did not gave permission. Again, the rates follow the same pattern as the response rates to the first follow-up survey.

Consent Rates for Respondents to the Baseline and First Follow-up Surveys We also looked at the consent rates of the respondents to the baseline and first follow-up surveys to assess the degree to which transcript information would be available for analysis along with responses to the baseline and first follow-up surveys. The consent rates are shown in Exhibits 5 and 6 for respondents to the surveys as a whole and by race/ethnicity and gender. Close to 70 percent of the respondents to the baseline survey and 89 percent of the respondents to the first follow-up survey consented to release their transcript information for research purposes. Of the 115 Achievers who completed the baseline survey but did not respond to the first follow-up survey, less than 20 completed the consent form during one of the other efforts to gain permission, accounting for the lower consent rates among respondents to the baseline survey. In other words, most of these baseline respondents did not take part in the first tracking effort and other activities that followed the baseline survey, suggesting that the consent rates of respondents to baseline survey would be higher if Achievers had been asked to grant permission at the time of that survey.

The consent rates of the respondents to the baseline survey vary considerably by race/ethnicity and gender. Their rates range in value from 56 percent (Other) to 77 percent (Asian/Pacific Islanders), roughly corresponding to the pattern of differences among the groups in their response rates to the first follow-up survey. This finding suggests that the analysis of transcript information in the baseline data would benefit from the generation of a separate set of survey weights (for the subgroup of respondents who granted permission) to reduce potential biases due to differences among the consent rates of the racial/ethnic and gender groups. The consent rates for respondents to the first follow-up survey, on the other hand, range in value from 86 percent (males and Whites/Caucasian) to 92 percent (Blacks/African Americans and Asian/Pacific Islanders) indicating that most respondents in each group granted permission during the first tracking effort or the first follow-up survey.

1.0 Introduction Welcome to the Washington State Achievers Transcripts Study. We are pleased you are joining a diverse project team conducting this important supplement to this project. The specifications contained in the EDIT manual will provide you with background of the survey as well as identifying techniques for completing your initial assignment. We look forward to working with you and making this an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. 1.1 What is the Washington State Achievers Program? The Washington State Achievers (WSA) scholarship program (also referred to as the “Achievers Scholarship”) is an initiative by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to fund and support 16 high schools in Washington State as they redesign their schools to increase academic achievement for all their students. The program is administered by the Washington Education Foundation (WEF). Each year for 10 years (through 2009), approximately 500 scholars will be selected from among students who attend one of the 16 Achiever high schools. Students must demonstrate financial need and qualify for state need-grant assistance. The first scholars were selected by WEF in spring 2001 and began attending college in fall 2001, and the last Cohort will begin college in the fall of 2010. 1.2 What is the Washington State Achievers Transcripts Study? NORC has collected consent to use high school and college and university transcripts of recipients of WSA scholarships. Copies of 315*** transcripts have been received from the WEF. Transcript records contain standardized course and grade data which provide clearer measures of schooling experiences than interviewing respondents would typically be able to provide. 1.3 Who is the Client? The WSA Research Advisory Committee, a group of scholars who specialize in questions relating to factors that contribute to the success of minority students in post-secondary education. 1.4 What Has Been Done Basic receipt control information about the transcript has been entered into a database maintained by the WSA transcripts team at 1155 E. 60th Street. 315 Transcripts authorized by participants first surveyed in 2003 (Cohort 1) are currently ready for editing. 1.5 The NORC Project Team The project director for the Washington State Achievers Study is Ray Lodato. He is supported by the Transcripts Task Leader, Patricia Cloud, and Survey Specialist Ishida Robinson. Production Center Manager Crystal Williams is the supervisor leading the data processing effort.

*** The project ultimately received and CADE’d 325 high school transcripts.

Your Role as an Edit Clerk As an edit clerk on the WSA Transcripts Survey, it is your role as an expert to clearly flag critical items and clearly mark each student transcript, enhancing the data entry steps for the CADE clerks. Editing The project has received 315 high school transcript records. These documents vary from school to school and include as well differences among student histories. To ensure the CADE process can be as uniform as possible, an editing step will be used to document critical items on the transcript form and assist in the process of properly categorizing school, term and course information reported. The first goal of the editing process is to lay the foundation for a structured approach to data entering groups of transcripts. Since there will be no standard CADE form used when data entering the transcript, it is your role as an editor to provide direction for the CADE clerk. When reviewing and marking transcripts, your responsibilities include:

• Filling out the Transcript Editing/CADE Cover Sheet (Appendix A) for each student. • Identifying whether or not information such as absences, tardiness, standardized tests

and grade point averages are reported on the transcript record. • Identifying the number of schools reported on a transcript. • Properly marking the number or terms reported per school. • Counting the number of courses listed per term.

If successful, the editing coversheet and marked transcript will provide a road map for the CADE clerk, allowing for an efficient classification and data entry effort.

Editing Process Editing is performed for every transcript. There will be only one transcript per respondent. Match the Transcript Edit/CADE Coversheet with the student transcript.

• Each transcript should have an Edit/CADE Coversheet. If these do not match, contact your supervisor and one will be created.

Review each student’s transcript and complete the Transcript Edit/CADE Coversheet.

• Appendix D 4 provides a step by step diagram of the CADE process. • Note: a Transcript Edit/CADE Coversheet must be completed for each transcript before

CADE can begin. CADE clerks will be instructed not to CADE a transcript without a completed Transcript Edit CADE Coversheet attached to the transcript. There will be two coversheets for each transcript; please use the teal-colored one, as it is the most up-to-date.

Complete and Edit CADE Coversheet for each student.

• Make sure an updated Edit/CADE Coversheet (teal) is completed for each transcript. • Submit any applicable Transcript Edit Problem forms to the supervisor with the

appropriate case. • Any transcripts not requiring supervisor review or retrieval can be submitted to the Ready

for CADE bin.

WSA Transcripts Documentation 3

Supervisor Review. • Supervisors are tasked with reviewing the more difficult and out-of-the-ordinary transcript

records requiring another set of eyes to distinguish. • If you have any questions about the edit process or specific transcript forms, be sure to

inform your supervisor. Do not guess! • For quality assurance, a supervisor will review the work of at least 10% of the editing

forms completed by clerk. • This will allow us to gauge any effects distinguished across clerks as well as check for

common errors.

Step 1: Review the Student Transcript • First, confirm that the transcript is for a high school student. • Review the transcript to determine if the following items are reported :

o Absences and Tardies o Standardized Test Scores o Special Education o LEP/ESOL o AP/Gifted/Honors/College Prep

• If these items do not appear on the transcript, leave these areas blank. If they are present, highlight them so the CADEr can easily find them.

• Review the Transcript for enrollment start and stop dates reported by the school submitting the transcript. Highlight the enrollment dates, if reported, directly on the transcript.

• Review the Transcript for the Cumulative GPA; highlight as necessary

Step 2: Group Schools, Terms and Courses on the Transcript

Number of Schools Reported • Determine the number of schools reported on the transcript and record the number

on the Transcript Edit/CADE Coversheet. • Starting with the most recent term, label each school reported in alpha order, keeping

a chronological sequence. The school submitting the transcript will be labeled “A”, with the second school reported labeled “B”, etc.

Number of Terms per School • Count the number of terms per school by starting with the first term recorded for each

school. Work forward through time ending with the latest term. • Record the term number next to each school letter (A1, A2, A3, etc.). • Record the total number of terms reported per school on the Transcript Edit/CADE

Coversheet. Number of Courses per Term

• For each individual term, count the number of courses on the transcript. • Record the number of courses next to each alpha school and numeric term

combination by placing a period and the number of courses (A1.6, A2.7, A3.6, etc.).

Within Each Term: • Check for the total number of credits for each term and highlight (or record the total

number of credits earned) • Highlight Introductory, Advanced Placement, Honors or Gifted Courses so the CADEr

can easily identify the course level during CADE.

1.0 Introduction Welcome to the Washington State Achievers Transcripts Study. We are pleased you are joining a diverse project team conducting this important supplement to this project. The specifications contained in the CADE manual will provide you with background of the survey as well as identifying techniques for completing your initial assignment. We look forward to working with you and making this an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. 1.1 What is the Washington State Achievers Program? The Washington State Achievers (WSA) scholarship program (also referred to as the “Achievers Scholarship”) is an initiative by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to fund and support 16 high schools in Washington State as they redesign their schools to increase academic achievement for all their students. The program is administered by the Washington Education Foundation (WEF). Each year for 10 years (through 2009), approximately 500 scholars will be selected from among students who attend one of the 16 Achiever high schools. Students must demonstrate financial need and qualify for state need-grant assistance. The first scholars were selected by WEF in spring 2001 and began attending college in fall 2001, and the last Cohort will begin college in the fall of 2010. 1.2 What is the Washington State Achievers Transcript Project? NORC has collected consent to use high school and college and university transcripts of recipients of WSA scholarships. Copies of 316††† transcripts have been received from the WEF. Transcript records contain standardized course and grade data which provide clearer measures of schooling experiences than interviewing respondents would typically be able to provide. 1.3 Who is the Client? The WSA Research Advisory Committee, a group of scholars who specialize in questions relating to factors that contribute to the success of minority students in post-secondary education. 1.4 What Has Been Done Basic receipt control information about the transcript has been entered into a database maintained by the WSA transcripts team at 1155 E. 60th Street. 316Transcripts authorized by participants first surveyed in 2003 (Cohort 1) are currently ready for CADE. Once transcripts have been recorded in the receipt control database at 1155, they are marked for editing. Editing clerks are responsible for reviewing all records, identifying critical items and sequencing terms and courses on the transcript records. After editing is completed, each transcript will be data entered. 1.5 The NORC Project Team The project director for the Washington State Achievers Study is Ray Lodato. He is supported by the Transcripts Task Leader, Patricia Cloud, and Survey Specialist Ishida Robinson. Production Center Manager Crystal Williams is the supervisor leading the data processing effort.

2.0 Your Role as a Transcripts Survey CADE Clerk As a CADE Clerk on the Washington State Achievers Transcript Project, it is your role as an expert to properly key information from student transcripts. The CADE effort on the Transcripts Survey is unique and challenging because there is no standard format for high school transcripts. To ensure efficiencies and the highest quality output is met in the CADE effort, it is your role:

• To clearly interpret the sequence defined by the edit clerk on the hard copy transcript; • To know the design and flow of the CADE instrument; • To be able to extract the critical data elements from the transcript and the Editing Form

and properly capture the data elements inside the CADE instrument. 2.1 Editing, Critical Data Elements and Sequence Since there is no such thing as a standard transcript, an Editing Coversheet was designed to assist you when navigating the transcript. Even though most transcripts do not look the same, most contain several critical data elements we can capture electronically. The Editing Coversheet will contain this information—always be sure to confirm the information recorded on the Editing Coversheet with what is recorded on the Transcript. Our goal is to properly CADE the student transcript, not the Edit Coversheet. Alert the supervisor to any discrepancies you find between the Edit Coversheet and the student transcript. Transcripts are generally organized by school terms and courses per term. The editors have marked a sequence on the transcript to assist you when keying. Use this sequence as a reference guide while keying the transcript. This sequence will point out the flow of term and course entry within the different CADE loops. 2.2 The CADE Instrument Flow The CADE instrument has been crafted into four different sections. It is your job to be able to recognize where each piece of information abstracted from the Transcript is collected inside of the CADE instrument.

• Section 1: School and Transcript Overview; • Section 2: Term and Course Information on the Transcript for Main/Primary School; • Section 3: Term and Course Information for Additional Schools • Section 4: Student High School Status; • Section 5: Standardized Test Scores.

2.3 Extracting Critical Data Elements As you review the transcript and identify the critical data elements, use the Editing Coversheet as a guide. Editing has been used to group and classify elements in the transcript while considering three critical elements: Schools, Terms and Courses. A sequence has been developed to assist you in properly capturing the data reported on the transcript form in a sequential manner, allowing the data to be grouped across time. The critical elements collected in each section of the CADE are highlighted below. See the question by question specifications in the following section for more detailed inquiries about specific questions within a section.

School and Transcript Overview. You will key information about the school submitting the transcript, the dates covered by the transcript, whether absences are reported by term or year (if reported at all) and the number of schools, terms and courses reported on the transcript.

Page 41: Gates Millennium ScholarsTracking and Longitudinal Study · Study High School and College and University Transcript Study Final Report March 2006 DRAFT Submitted by Patricia Cloud

WSA Transcripts Documentation 5

Term and Course Information. After keying the critical overview of the transcript, you will key term and course information from the transcript.

• The term loops are built to capture information about the term, such as start and end dates, the type of term and the season if reported. The grade level and credits earned for the term are also captured. If Absence and Tardy information is reported by term, the CADE will capture this information as well.

• Each term will contain a course loop where you will key in a course description and any other course identifiers present on the transcript, such as course number and department, any flags for the courses such as course level or track, the grade received and the credits reported for the course.

Multiple schools Reported on the Transcript. Not all student transcripts will contain information from just the submitting school. Students who have transferred from different high schools will likely have term and course histories reported from other schools attended. This section’s term and course loops are identical to the term and course loops in the previous section.

Note: In this section, it is essential for you to properly capture the other school data reported on the transcript.

Note: This section refers to the school submitting the transcript only. You do not need to capture information from additional schooling information reported on the transcript (in most cases, this information will not be present for additional schools).

Standardized Testing Scores. Some transcripts will report standardized test scores received for the student. The CADE is designed to allow you to quickly key out of this section if a certain test(s) is not reported. This section will collect information on the following standardized tests.

• PSAT • ACT • SAT • AP • SATII

Note: If an AP test score is reported, it is usually reported separately from AP level course information. This section captures test scores, not grades and credits earned by taking a high school level AP course work.

2.4 Quality Assurance. To ensure the data captured is reliable, the project has instituted a number of steps to maintain the highest quality within the transcripts data set.

CADE Verification. As stated in our contract, we are required to complete 10% verification on the CADE step of the data processing. This means that for 10% of the transcripts, the critical data elements from each transcript will be keyed twice with any discrepancies sent to the adjudicator. Each discrepancy will be used to calculate an error rate. Your error rate will be monitored closely by the supervisor staff, and re-training will be required when necessary. Supervisor Review. As a CADE clerk, you provide the closest review of the data. If you have questions about how a transcript data is captured, be sure to inform your supervisor. Weekly meetings will be held to answer your questions and provide policy decisions when warranted.

Dear Registrar:

Since 2002, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, in cooperation with the Washington Education Foundation, has contracted with the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago to assess the impact of the Washington State Achievers program on the academic and professional lives of students. Part of the study’s focus examines time taken to complete degree, and course taking patterns.

In order to support this research, NORC has obtained signed, dated consents from participants in this scholarship program for release of their college or university transcript to NORC. Granting of this permission is entirely voluntary, and refusing to grant this permission has no influence on a participant’s standing with the Washington State Achievers program. We request that a copy of the transcript of «FirstName» «LastName» be sent to NORC in accordance with the signed, dated permission enclosed. All copies of documents obtained for this research will be maintained confidentially and securely destroyed when the research is completed. Individual transcript and financial information will not be made available to the public through Washington State Achievers program research in a form that would allow individuals to be identified. Research results may be made available to the public in an aggregated form, such as, for example, an average or a total for a group of students.

Accompanying this letter is a photocopy of the signed, dated consent to release transcript form that NORC has received from the following «Address1» student: Name: «FirstName» «LastName» School: Western Washington University Graduation date: «DegreeDate» Also accompanying this letter is a check in the amount of «TranscriptCost», for a copy of the transcript of «FirstName» «LastName».

WSA Transcripts Documentation 2

NORC Transcripts Study / Policy decisions Table of Contents / Absences

Where absences are reported by class, take the lowest common denominator reported as the total for the term (NLS) 11/05/2004;

Don't calculate absences from 'days present'; however, if 'absent' is reported over 'present', include it (NLS) 11/05/2004;

if absences are reported by term as well as by year, distribute the yearly reported values over terms. that is, select term over year as reporting option for absences, where possible (NLS) 11/05/2004.

Where absences are reported as '0' (zero) for a given year, do not cade absences for that year (NLS) 11/11/04—SUPERCEDED—1/4/05. Record ‘0’ when it occurs./

Class rank

Where class rank is reported as 'weighted', choose the unweighted value rather than the weighted one. 11/11/2004

College level course

Where a transcript specifically describes classes as being 'college level' (rather than AP), record them as such ('college level' in the CADE instrument). 11/10/04 College prep

Do not record 'college prep' as a course category (NLS) 11/05/2004 Credit systems

There are various credit systems used to report course credit on transcripts. The standard unit of analysis for course credit is the Carnegie unit, reported typically as '1.0' per year for a one hour course, taken 5 days a week, for the normal academic year. This will be reported as '.5' per semester, '.25' per quarter, etc. Where the credit system is named on the transcript (Carnegie or otherwise), include the credit system name in the CADE. Where the credit system is not named, do not infer one.

Credit is also frequently reported as 'points'--generally 10 for a year, 5 for a semester, and 2.5 for a quarter, etc. Record these as you find them. 11/10/04 Credits / CADE

Record all trailing digits present for credits (i.e. 1.0, 1.00, 1.000, etc.) 11/11/04 Entry date

when entry date is later than grad date, refer to supervisor. 11/02/2004

if entry date is outside the normal high school terms (that is, 7th or 8th grade), report the entry date as MISSING. 11/23/04 Errors in edit coversheet

Page 57: Gates Millennium ScholarsTracking and Longitudinal Study · Study High School and College and University Transcript Study Final Report March 2006 DRAFT Submitted by Patricia Cloud

WSA Transcripts Documentation 3

Correct coversheet errors (wrong state, gender, ID number, etc.), record the correct value in red directly on the coversheet. These do not need to be referred to the supervisor. 11/02/2004 GPA

Where GPA is reported as 'weighted', choose the unweighted value rather than the weighted 11/11/2004

Choose district GPA over state GPA, when there is a choice (NLS) 11/05/2004

Take the latest cumulative GPA, where a summary or final GPA is not available. 11/11/04 When GPA is reported as "9-11" or "10-12", record the last occurring GPA. (NLS) 11/23/04 Middle school

Consider a middle school term in which high school credits are earned as an additional school. Report the middle school term exactly as you would any high school term, but only include in the course count for that term those courses that are reported as bearing high school credit. 11/02/2004

when middle school reports all classes bearing credit, record them as such 11/04/04

when middle school reports no credit for any classes, record all classes listed and key credit as missing for all 11/04/04 "Pre AP" or "Pre IB"

Record "pre AP" or "pre IB" classes as regular classes, not as AP or IB. 11/11/04 Start of term / CADE

If 'start of term' is not explicitly noted for the first term at a given school, record the entry date for the school as the start of term date for that first semester. (NLS) 11/11/04

In a case such as above, where the end date for the semester is unknown, record end date as MISSING. For a second semester, record the start date as MISSING, but record the end of term year as the year end for the academic year (e.g. 96/97). Record the end of term month as MISSING. 11/23/04

If semesters are reported with ending month and year (e.g. 12/96, 5/97), record the semester start date as MISSING and the end date only. 11/23/04 SAT, PSAT scores

In every case report the most recent value for verbal and math. Test administration dates will be reported with results (NLS). 11/04/2004

If there are two sets of scores with no date attached, take the last occurring set. (NLS) 11/23/04 Summer sessions

Where two summer sessions are recorded, consider them as one term (NLS) 11/05/2004. Terms

If the transcript reports credits for the year, but you can discern that some credits are reported by term, record the terms and distribute the credits over the terms by dividing. 11/10/04

Page 58: Gates Millennium ScholarsTracking and Longitudinal Study · Study High School and College and University Transcript Study Final Report March 2006 DRAFT Submitted by Patricia Cloud

WSA Transcripts Documentation 4

Transfer credits

If transfer credits are reported on a transcript, stop editing the transcript and refer it to a supervisor. 11/02/2004 Trimesters

If the transcript reports credits for the year, but you can discern that some credits are reported by term, record the terms and distribute the credits over the terms by dividing. Do this even in the event of trimesters. (NLS) 11/05/2004 Withdrawals

If a student has withdrawn from a class, pick up the 'W' and record credits as '0' if they are listed as such. If credits are reported any other way (e.g. '(3)'), record them as MISSING.

Work in progress

when work in progress lists credits, record these as missing since they have not yet been earned 11/04/2004
