P20 SLDS

Portfolio: P20 SLDS

Analyze… Innovate… Educate…

Solution Overview

The solution creates a trusted view of all k12 education data—such as data on students, employees, and institutions.

Captures and links data that resides in different data systems to create a comprehensive and meaningful view of students, faculty, and schools to positively impact outcomes and improve service delivery.

Provides unparalleled visibility into the relationships among data even when that data is stored in different formats and multiple systems.

We have implemented the P20 SLDS for the State of West Virginia, Fairfax County Public Schools, and other school districts in the US.

Data Quality Engine

The solution conforms data across multiple sources and across multiple agencies and addresses operational challenges integrating data across multiple systems

Quality rule and reference tables validates common data quality issues found with student and school data sets including demographics, programs, awards, and financial aid

Quality scorecards with detailed visualizations and notifications help monitor a variety of metrics to ensure data quality.

We have developed a SLDS quality accelerator for customers with Informatica Data Quality and implemented custom quality management solutions using Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle.

Master Data Management Engine

Master Data Management creates a unique statewide system of identification including cross-reference unique identifiers established by various state agencies and systems.

The solution uses Informatica master data management to create and maintain golden records for students, parents, staff, and employees

Trusted master data is then synchronized with the data warehouse and even downstream with other applications.

We have developed an SLDS accelerator for Informatica MDM and integrated solutions using matching algorithms used in Florida’s Statewide P20 Data Warehouse and West Virginia’s P20 Data Warehouse.

Data Warehouse Engine

The solution loads ll data required for reporting and analysis into an open, comprehensive, multi-dimensional, statewide education data warehouse engine.

Automated ETL processes keep the data updated and organized so that it may be managed consistently over time.

Each facet of information in the warehouse may be related to additional characteristics over time to facilitate data management, reporting and analysis.   In essence, the warehouse stores outcomes so they may be measured consistently over time.

We have installed the data warehouse engine on both Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Databases and have experience integrating data into the warehouse using various enterprise ETL frameworks from Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and IBM.

Data Discovery Engine

The solution enables agencies to identify common factors, characteristics, and other data points to pinpoint performance problems, diagnose at-risk programs, and improve services.

The data discover engine is used to Improve decision making and predict outcomes based on trends, data patterns, and the ability to link multiyear data, and encourages a more collaborative and organic approach to data discovery.

We have developed reports and analysis* against the data using traditional off-the-shelf business intelligence tools such as IBM Cognos, Tableau, SAP Business Objects, Oracle Business Intelligence, and others.

* Examples are shown in the following slides

Example Report: Cognos Portal Home Page

This is an example IBM Cognos Business Intelligence Portal home page developed using Cognos 10.

The home page lets users navigate to the various subject areas in the SLDS. In addition to organizing all of the SLDS reports referenced on the Web Portal, the IBM Cognos BI Portal also provides authorized users with advanced report authoring, analysis and query capability.

Example Report: High School Feedback Dashboard

The High School Feedback dashboard

was developed for the state of West

Virginia and provides users with quick

access to a range of formatted reports

they can download and share with

stakeholders.

KPI’s on county graduation rates are

displayed on a map of their state and

selected cohorts are displayed for

monitoring high school retention.

Example Report: Performance Descriptors of Interest

This table is from a PDF report created

to show High School Performance

Descriptors of interest.

In this specific case, the table

compares cohorts of high school

students whom are dually enrolled in

college courses.

Example Report: College Readiness

This is an example summary report of students who are college ready and entering college in their first year.

College readiness in this example is determined by ACT and SAT cut scores.

Example Report: Student Debt Comparison

This is an example from an interactive dashboard developed for the State of West Virginia that compares annual and cumulative debt between in-state and out of state students

Example Report: Adhoc Analysis of Course Participation

This is an example of how a business analyst would use Cognos Analysis studio to perform ad-hoc queries on course participation against the multi-dimensional longitudinal database.

Example Report Adhoc Analysis of Student Enrollment

This is an example of how a business analyst would use Cognos Analysis studio to perform ad-hoc queries on student enrollment by grade level against the multi-dimensional longitudinal database.

Example Report: Adhoc Analysis of Student Performance

This is an example of how a business analyst would use Cognos Analysis studio to perform ad-hoc queries on student assessments by proficiency level against the multi-dimensional longitudinal database.

Example Report: Cohort Trends

This example report shows trends of

various high school graduate cohorts

over time.

Example Report: Cohort Trends (Tableau)

This example report shows trends of student cohorts over time in a dashboard format developed with Tableau.
