  1. The Institute for Evidence-Based Change presents The California Partnership for Achieving Student Success (Cal-PASS) and A SMART Tool™for Accessing Data from Educational Data Systems Jordan E. Horowitz, VP, Foundation Relations & Project Development

  2. Institute for Evidence-Based Change IEBC is a 501(c)3 whose mission is to help students succeed in school and beyond by empowering organizations to use data to improve practice and outcomes. We work with educational institutions and other systems and organizations to ensure they have access to data and are able to engage in the conversations required to support student transitions across educational segments and into the world of work.

  3. Institute for Evidence-Based Change • Educational Collaboration • Data Linking • Research Support &Technology Tools • Tuning USA

  4. Cal-PASS & IEBC Cal-PASS is supported by IEBC providing a model that makes data actionable

  5. The California Partnership for Achieving Student Success (Cal-PASS) - Began in 1998 in response to disconnects in CA among the K-12, community college, and four-year degree granting segments - Includes K-12 schools, colleges and universities All UC, all but five CSU, many private universities All 112 community colleges Over 7500 K-12 schools (~3/4 of CA districts with high schools) - Is regionally based with 27 consortia, statewide - Almost 460 million student records, representing approximately 80% of California’s student population (2010-11) - Funded by the state and private entities - 60 Professional Learning Communities (PLC) - Empower PLCs to innovate

  6. Student Data: What Kinds of Data are Collected? Student identifier (Pseudonumber) Student file Demographic and status information County, District, School Course file Enrollment information Course performance Test file CST CAHSEE Award file Diplomas, degrees, certificates Custom file Linked to either student or course information

  7. Data Security FERPA compliant Data are anonymous – personal identifier information is removed or encrypted Locally run program encrypts and validates data prior to transmission Servers in secure, Level IV data center with firewall and controlled access Security document available atwww.calpass.org

  8. K – 12Districts CommunityColleges Validate, Encrypt, and Upload Student Data Annually for Prior Academic Year CSU UC PrivateInstitutions Create and implement innovations to improve student achievement Deconstructed CA academic standards in math and English Align courses from high school to college Cal-PASS supported regional, intersegmental, within-discipline Professional Learning Councils Link to other CA data systems(e.g., Social Services, Employment Development) Database (data linked across segments at the unitary student level, reported for groups and cohorts) Support research about student transitions(e.g., CST report, college readiness indicators) Projects for continuous program improvement(e.g., SSPIRE, CAA, PIQE) Provide evidence for continuous program improvement and assessment Foundations to assess effects of funded initiatives Service providers to improve educational outcomes for foster youth Educational institutions for targeted use (e.g., accreditation)

  9. Why Cal-PASS? • Data are unavailable elsewhere • Intersegmental data • Interdistrict data • Linking academic data to other information • Addressing the issues • Intersegmental professional learning councils • Linking to other data systems (CWS/CMS; EDD) • Involvement in meaningful research opportunities • Data are difficult to obtain in a useful and useable format • Removing the intermediary information technology or research department (if it exists) • Presented in useful, easily understood formats • Ability to drill down into the data to answer the but what about…? questions

  10. Institute for Evidence-Based Change:Sample Research Projects • Early indicators of college readiness • Postsecondary indicators of effective high schools • STEM pathways from middle school to college • Data linking consultation • Early College High Schools • Implementing the CCSS effectively

  11. The SMART Tool™ • Web-based access • Access controlled • Customizable • Question driven • Developed with funding from the Hewlett and Irvine Foundations
