Making Research Work for Education
November 6, 2015
• The Ohio Department of Education contracted with the OERC to develop a tool that would meet the requirements of the 2014 law.
• OERC was tasked with developing a research based method of identifying students at risk of dropping out and developing a dashboard for use in Ohio school districts.
• The result is the Student Success Dashboard (SSD).
• The Dashboard will be available to all districts across Ohio and is FREE to use.
10
BACKGROUND
The Dashboard answers the following questions:– Is a student on track to moving to the next grade? – Is a student on track to stay in school?– Is a student likely to graduate within four years?
The Dashboard enables authorized Administrators, Principals, Counselors and Teachers to view students’:
– Risk factors;– Prior academic achievement on state tests;– Prior discipline and attendance records; and– History of school’s attended (mobility).
11
INFORMATION PROVIDED BY DASHBOARD
• Available for grades 7-12
• Uses student’s Education Management Information System (EMIS) record
• Includes information from the student’s Ohio public school record from the time the student entered until the student’s last school year
• Includes demographic information, attendance, course information, school data and statewide test results
12
DATA USED IN DASHBOARD
• Based on comparing the student’s record against all similar children in Ohio public schools from the time the student entered the system until the student’s most recently completed school year.
• Scores range from 0-100 percent. The lower the score, the better the chance the student will succeed.
• Because teachers and principal often know aspects of a student that are not captured by the EMIS system, the risk scores should be considered as a starting point, not the definitive description of a child’s chances of success or failure.
13
HOW SCORES ARE CALCULATED
The Dashboard also provides a link to the Student Success Resource Library, which contains research and best practices for getting students back on track to graduate.

Sharing best practices— andidentifying needsFall Survey• Gather information on methods and systems currently in use
• What indicators do districts currently use to identify at-risk students?
• What interventions are districts implementing with at-risk students?
• Identify the types of resources and information that districts need
• Use survey information to identify subjects for district profiles
Next steps
• Coordinate with Student Success Dashboard pilot
• Gather feedback on resources currently available and identify needs
• Develop profiles of implementation• Work with Ohio Department of
Education on site promotion and monthly content updates
