12. Data Flow(let’s first discuss what data and how the data gets into PerformancePLUS. School sends data from SIS to state i4see data warehouse Lots of validation and cleansing. 1 2 Student data and assessment data is stored in DOE secure databases Testing Companies send assessment data to the NH DOE after signed release from LEA Value Added Data becomes accessible to LEA via DOE Single Sign On system, that ‘passes-thru’ user to Hosted PerformancePLUS system. 4 3 DOE formats data and sends nightly updates to PerformancePLUS

13. What Data is transferred • We transfer data nightly to the PerformancePLUSsystem • Student Demographics • Student and Teacher Roster Data • Student Assessment Data (submitted periodically) • Student Group Data (submitted annually, unless specified) • IEP Status (monthly), LEP status, Homeless Indicator, Free & Reduced Lunch Indicator, 21st CCLC program, college enrollment, attendance, and suspension

14. Data transfer (cont.) • Additionally, schools submit their own data • Local Assessments • Locally created student groups • Response to Instruction / Intervention Data • Schools can also enter their own curriculum and instruction maps in curriculumCONNECTOR Schools can then use this data to inform instruction… Upload Frequency

15. How are districts accessing data…. • Performance Tracker • Dashboard • Reports • Students • RTI • Assessment Builder • Curriculum Connector

16. PerformanceTracker • Easy to access reports • Aggregate or disaggregate display of multiple assessments • National, State, Local, Class • Individualized Student Assessment Portfolios • Ability to track interventions • Track standards-based performance

17. AssessmentBuilder • Create assessments using the P+ bank of questions (content library) aligned to the NH standards • Create and store local questions • Enter local assessment results into Performance Tracker • Create and print bubble sheets on plain paper for scanning results; OLA, an online assessment option, is available

18. CurriculumCONNECTOR • Curriculum Mapping Tool • Allows schools and districts to develop and share a comprehensive, standards-based curriculum including units, lessons and assessments
