Cross Agency Interoperability

Student Information

Educators have a unique identifier that links their training and development to student performance.

Efficient and effective data exchange exists across agencies (human services, K-12, higher education, labor, corrections) and levels (district, state, federal) to promote accountability , inform policy and ensure a holistic view of student success .

Student data is captured from early childhood through college to guide educational decision-making at all levels, classroom to statehouse.

Interactive portals provide parents, students, educators, policymakers and researchers access to performance information, online content and collaboration tools to inform and improve student performance.

Multiple stakeholders use, learn, and leverage information to drive increased student performance through professional development, innovative programs and improved instructional practices.

Program Classifications

Information about educational settings, courses taken and interventions implemented share common definitions to link program information to student performance.

CDLE shares in state wage data with CDE and CDHE quarterly

CDLE also pulls FEDES data on demand for CDE and CDHE students

WRIS 2 is in the works, but the inability to share individual level data even with WRIS 2 is a concern

Individual data for WIA and Wagner Peyser participants also shared with CDE and CDHE as needed
