Project OverviewADE and MCESA will design, develop and deploy Data Management System (DMS) otherwise known as the REIL-ized Decision Support System (RDSS) for linking teacher and principal assignment data to student achievement data. (A.C.A. 2, 8, 9) (0) The RDSS will link performance of student achievement data to each eligible teacher’s and principal’s performance incentive to payroll and human resource system. (A.C.A. 6, 8) (0)(0) The RDSS will also provide an Identity Management Solution that rigorously validates the user’s credentials and ensures the user is exposed to data and functionality that they are authorized to view. (A.C.A 1, 2, 5) (0) The RDSS will capture and allow easy analysis of formative and summative assessments by item and strand. (A.C.A. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) (0) The RDSS will house a scalable, sustainable, and agile student assessment delivery system. (A.C.A. 3, 4, 8, 9, 11 12) (0) This system will capture teacher and principal professional development data. (A.C.A. 8) (0) (0) (0) The RDSS will provide portals and other gateways that provide system administrators, teachers and principals the requisite level of transparency necessary to review accuracy of their specific information.

Observation Data Capture Tool (ODCT)

Project OverviewThe purpose of the Observation Tool is to provide a standardized input solution to gather evaluators’ feedback and store it in a data repository to be primarily used to calculate 50% of the REIL score, as well as to provide raw data for other reporting and analysis. This will begin the process of automating what is now a manual paper-based feedback process.

AccomplishmentsAccomplishments week ending 2/3

• Held meetings with Lisa Levy and Powerschool, SchoolMaster, Infinite Campus. Determined the ability of their SIS to handle the changes requested by MCESA-REIL Project. Sent Minutes out to all.

• Held meeting with Al Dullum to dissect first round of BRD requirements. Scheduled a meeting for next week to break down Dashboards.

• Sent first draft of requirements to Al, assigning him task of breaking down some of them further.

• Provided new BSA team from ALEAS documentation and explanation of the MCESA program. Copied them on all meeting minutes.

• Met with Alex Jones to discuss data perspective of project.

Data Management Solution (formerly ETL/SOA)

Project OverviewA system that links student achievement data to teacher and principal payroll and human resource systems: •RDSS or Data Management System (DMS) brings together multiple district systems, including educational services, business services, and human resources, in order to support educator development, reward accomplishments, and inform retention and tenure decisions for the purpose of improved student learning.

RDSS

Project OverviewA scalable, sustainable and agile student assessment delivery (customizable) system- This system should allow test data validation and auditing capabilities by focus groups that are assigned by customer. The system should allow testing items for both non-secure and secure items; the system should allow traditionally non-tested areas to be customized by Item and Strand. The system should allow tests to be created by subject, grade, and course. The system should also allow K-12 test ranges to be archived and retrievable within the system for printing and review purposes.
