2. Data Systems in LAUSD SIS – Elementary (ESIS) and Secondary (SSIS)
Primary data entry system for student data
ISIS – Integrated Student Information System
Will replace ESIS and SSIS
Currently tracking grades and attendance in secondary
SOAR – Student Online Assessment Reports
Data entry and reporting for Open Court
Edusoft
Data scanning and reporting for Periodic Assessments in Math, English Language Arts and Science
DSS – Decision Support System
Reporting system that draws data from SIS, SOAR, Edusoft and other data systems
Facilitator Notes:
Take about 5 minutes to review these data systems slides (8-10).
Phase 2 of ISIS is only secondary and is slated for April 2006; only doing grades and attendance, right now.
There is also the SOAR system where Open Court data for elementary schools is housed.
Beginning, last school year, the district began administering periodic assessments. This data is collected on the Edusoft system.
Finally, there is a reporting system called the Decision Support System. Before we take a look at what resides in each of these systems let’s talk about different data systems and how they differ.

19. AYP and API
Accountability Progress Reports, with preliminary AYP and API data, were released on August 31, 2005.
AYP measures students moving from basic, below basic, and far below basic to proficient and advanced performance levels.
API measures student movement between all performance levels. The greatest growth occurs as students move from far below basic to below basic and from below basic to basic.

24. Local District One District One trends are important,
but each school’s CST data is unique
and must be analyzed:
grade by grade
teacher by teacher
group by group
student by student

25. Trend Analysis

26. Trend Analysis Take 5 minutes individually to review
the data that is contained in
your packet and record any trends
that you observe.

27. Trend Analysis
Talk with your grade level peers about your observations and then discuss the following questions together:
What trends do you see when looking at the data for “your school”?
In what way are these trends consistent with District One or the State of California data?
In what ways are these trends different from District One and or the State’s data?

28. Trend Analysis
What specific action did “your school” take that caused these results?
What specific actions did your grade level take that caused these results?

29. What specific action should “your school” take to further improve
Trend Analysis
What specific action should “your school” take to further improve
student achievement
over the next year?

30. What other sources of data can we use to drive instruction? Overheads….

60. Looking at First Grade Data
Every student should be scoring at 8, 9 and 10 in spelling and word reading on the first 3 assessments.
Consider a special intervention program within classrooms or across the grade to catch children early.
If more than 5 students in a class are not being successful, consider in class support to insure that all the daily lessons are skillfully taught.
