Take the time to
update the data calendar, any data resources, checklists, data entry forms,
etc. based upon the Planned Changes, but also if you anticipate changes
to your building numbers, are
consolidating buildings, grades, classrooms, etc. That can really change the
reporting process. |

2 reports were
added to KIDS this past year, this is a reminder to you that these new
reports are another tool towards data quality. They can be found under the
“discrepancies” category of reports. |
|
If you have
trouble verifying assessment sub-groups, set reminders to pull reports from
your SIS on the dates assessments are administered so you have a snapshot in
time of key demographic data elements at the time the student was tested for
verification later. We hear from some school staff that trying to go back to
a specific point in time can be rather difficult after changes have been made
in the SIS. |
|
Use KIDS reports
before submission windows close so you can correct mistakes and don’t have to
request an submission window be opened. |
|
We also encourage
ongoing training- especially if it is free to help schools and districts save
money next year, when every penny counts. |
