  • Award Amount: $10,475,997
  • Performance Period: July 2010 – June 2013

Outcomes

  • Design and implement K-12 teacher-student linkage components that allow subsequent reporting to support instructional decision making and potential analysis of teacher-level variables that may impact student achievement at the elementary and secondary levels.
  • Develop policies, procedures and partnerships needed to expand collection and integration of early childhood, post-secondary success and workforce data.
  • Design and implement an active multi-state and multi-sector data exchange with the states of Washington, Hawaii and Idaho through the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE).
  • Create a P-20/W Operational Data Store (ODS), which consolidates data instead of splitting data between current transactional systems and an initial data store. The P-20/W ODS will be designed to decrease the time between data collection and reporting, and to support the multi-state and multi-sector data exchanges.
  • Develop a comprehensive statewide data quality plan, including a policy manual with associated governance, which builds on Oregon’s strong efforts to date.
