The task of accurately reporting all of the data that is required at the end of each school year can be a daunting task for even the most seasoned District Data Coordinator. This presentation is specifically designed to assist District Data Coordinators / Administrators with the accurate and timely submission of year-end data. Topics discussed will include: which reports to review, best practices for reporting and verifying graduates, understanding deadlines/timelines, as well as year-end special education data reporting requirements. Frequently asked questions will be addressed, and tools to help make the year-end reporting process more manageable will be shared.

As districts continue to push for more meaningful instructional use of state assessment data, WNYRIC began a multi-year effort to securely deliver teacher-specific assessment reporting directly to educators. What began as a request for easier access to student performance data evolved into a large-scale initiative involving security architecture, roster validation, item mapping, instructional interpretation, stakeholder communication, and report redesign. This session will walk through WNYRIC’s journey designing and implementing teacher-level security and reporting for NYS state assessment results

In today’s data‑rich education environment, school districts need fast, reliable answers to the questions that drive board‑of‑education discussions. This presentation walks the audience through the full decision‑making and design journey undertaken with a district superintendent to turn a complex mix of demographic, program, assessment, attendance, and benchmark data into a single, interactive Power BI dashboard.

Full description to follow. We will present Nassau RIC reports that combine test scores and information from Nextera, including constructed responses and how much time students are taking to complete NYS assessments. Lead presenter: Barbara Dwyer. Co-presenters: Jeff Davis and Tim Fuger.
