Data Warehouse Merged into Edwin Login roles for Edwin Analytics remain the same as the EDW: DW (210) District User DW (211) School User DW Evaluator URL for Edwin Analytics remains the same as EDW No need to update Trusted Sites Security Portal Edwin Analytics link added Slide 7 New Security Portal Link Data Warehouse v3.0 link will be gone. Edwin Analytics (EDW) will have Data Warehouse content. What is Edwin Analytics? Data Warehouse Announcement will explain the move. New Content in Edwin Analytics EWIS reports on the Student tab College Readiness reports on the Student tab Slide 8 Accessing Edwin 8 Slide 9 What is in Edwin Analytics? What is the SAME: EDW reports are still available What is NEW and available by the end of January: Identify current students in grades 1-12 who may be at risk of missing key educational targets (Early Warning Indicator System (EWIS) reports) Identify how your former students did after they graduated from your school/district (Postsecondary Readiness and Success) 9 Slide 10 Early Warning Indicator System 10 Slide 11 11 What are Early Warning Indicators? Methodological way of looking at students and their likelihood of meeting specific academic goals Traditionally implemented at the high school level to help predict which students are most likely to drop out Tool for educators to better design and target student interventions in a timely way Slide 12 MA EWIS Background Department previously provided Early Warning Indicator Index (EWII) to predict the likelihood grade 9 students would graduate Department worked with American Institutes for Research (AIR) to develop the new risk models District feedback, e.g., focus groups and webinars Rollout of EWIS in September via Security Portal 12 Slide 13 13 Key Concepts Massachusetts EWIS is for grade levels 1-12 Based on four grade-level groupings that are connected to key academic goals along the academic trajectory that are designed to be relevant to and actionable for educators As a state, currently at different levels of achieving these four academic goals Three EWIS risk levels: low, moderate, high A student that is low risk is predicted to be likely to meet the academic goal Slide 14 14 Grade Groupings & Goals Age Groups Grade Levels Academic Goals (expected student outcomes for each age group) Current Statewide Results for Goal Early Elementary Grades 1-3 Proficient or advanced on 3rd grade ELA MCAS 61% Late Elementary Grades 4-6 Proficient or advanced on 6 th grade ELA and Mathematics MCAS 54% Middle Grades Grades 7-9 Passing grades on all 9 th grade courses75% High School Grades 10-12 High school graduation (four-year)83.4% Slide 15 Key Concepts, continued Provides risk level information for all students based on prior year data The risk levels are not based on a students relative likelihood for reaching an academic goal when compared with other students Individual indicators in the risk model are not reflective of the level of risk - taken together, the indicators (data points) collectively form a risk level Only includes data from existing statewide collections (SIMS and SCS) and state assessments (MCAS and MEPA) 15 Slide 16 16 EWIS is / is not The Massachusetts EWIS isThe Massachusetts EWIS is not A tool to better target interventions and supports at the individual, small group, and whole school levels. A life sentence or a reason to label students. A systematic way to flag students that need to be further examined to determine what additional support are necessary. A diagnostic tool that provides details on the exact reason(s) why a student is at risk for not meeting an expected academic goal. Related to measures that are included in the states school and district accountability system (PPI), but is not itself an accountability measure. An accountability measure. Based on data and risk models that the Department will reexamine each year to continually improve the system. A stagnant system that will remain exactly the same in future years.

What are the prior risk levels of my current students? What data points (indicators) went into the calculation to determine the risk level? Slide 20 20 Slide 21 EWIS District View (EW301) 21 Which grade levels or schools have the most students that need targeted support in order to be on track to meet the next academic goal? What is the breakdown of high, moderate, and low risk levels in a particular student subgroup (e.g. among students with disabilities)? Where does the district need to focus additional resources to get students back on track for meeting the next academic goal? Slide 22 22 Slide 23 EWIS Graphical View (EW302) 23 How does a selected group of students compare to the district and state? What are the previous risk levels of the currently enrolled students over the past 5 years? E.g., what are the previous risk levels of my current 4 th grade male ELL students? What are the risk levels of a specific student group over the past 5 years? E.g., what are the risk levels of 4 th grade male ELL students each year over the last 5 years? Slide 24 24 Slide 25 Postsecondary Enrollment and Outcomes 25 Slide 26 How did our students do after graduating? Three new reports: Postsecondary Outcomes of Public HS Graduates: All Institutions (CR301) Postsecondary Outcomes of Public HS Graduates: MA Public Institutions Only (CR302) Postsecondary Outcomes of Public HS Graduates: Academic Preparation (CR303) but each is really several reports in one! 26 Slide 27 How many public high school graduates enroll postsecondary? at MA public institutions? On top: data from CR301; on bottom: data from CR302 27 Slide 28 Where did students enroll? (Anywhere in the USA) This data from CR301 See CR302 for MA Public Institutions Only 28 Slide 29 What does persistence look like across subgroups? How many return for a 2 nd year? Data from CR301; See CR302 for MA Public Institutions Only 29 Slide 30 How many of your graduates obtain a degree? How does that vary by subgroup? How does that vary by the type of institution where students enroll? (4-year, 2-year, public, or private) Data from CR301; See CR302 for MA Public Institutions Only 30 Slide 31 What are enrollment rates of students who complete AP or Mass Core coursework ? Data from CR301; See CR302 for MA Public Institutions Only 31 Slide 32 Which type of institutions do they attend? Data from CR303 32 Slide 33 Of those in MA public postsecondary, what % enroll in remedial courses? In which subjects? Data from CR302 33 Slide 34 What are the MCAS scores of students who take remedial courses? Data from CR302 34 Slide 35 How many credits do graduates earn in their first year of college? What about developmental credits? Data from CR302 35 Slide 36 and this is just the beginning of what we can do! We could also explore What is the relationship between MCAS scores and the type of institution where students enroll? (4-year, 2-year, public, or private) What is the postsecondary experience of students from a specific subgroup (CVTE, ELL, students with disabilities, high needs, etc)? 36 Slide 37 How did our students do after graduating? Three new reports: Postsecondary Outcomes of Public HS Graduates: All Institutions (CR301) Postsecondary Outcomes of Public HS Graduates: MA Public Institutions Only (CR302) Postsecondary Outcomes of Public HS Graduates: Academic Preparation (CR303) but each is really several reports in one! 37 Slide 38 Comparing the Three Reports Potential QuestionsCR301CR302CR303 How many graduates go on to postsecondary?XXX What type of institutions (4-year/2-year, private/public) do graduates attend?
