Project background Data warehouse goals and objectives District participation DOE and district collaboration Collaboration techniques MA Education Data Warehouse
Enable the Department and public schools to make full use of the information at our disposal in order to enable all students to meet the high standards necessary for success. How? ~ Consolidate the Department’s student, assessment, educator, program, and financial data into a single system for analysis and reporting; and ~ Provide a standardized, low-cost data warehousing system to all districts in the Commonwealth to address the pervasive and increasing need for local educational data analysis. Purpose
What it is • ‘Dashboard’ of reports and queries • Based on extracts from DOE and district databases • Pre-built reports to answer common questions • Flexible tools to respond to new questions What it isn’t • Not a tool to update or change data • Not a replacement for District’s local SIS
Why a state-wide project? • Leverage statewide purchasing power for pricing • Invest once in the infrastructure required to support data warehousing instead of many times • Load MCAS data from the source • Make certified Student snapshots available for comparison • Load District Staff data in 2008 from statewide file

How does new data sets, cubes and reports get added to the warehouse? 1. User groups 2. DW Steering Committee 3. DOE Decision User groups identify analysis area, reports, etc… New data, cubes and reports may come out of those meetings. DOE will review and make a final decision. Final decisions will be put on the list for the next Development Phase. Those “new data” suggestions will go to the DW Steering Committee at intervals where they will be ranked and prioritized. 4. Warehouse Team 5. End User DOE warehouse team will schedule these in the next development phase to gather technical and functional requirements and build the requested items in the warehouse. Once in the warehouse the DW team will create documentation if necessary and send comm. To end users notifying them of the new items now available.
