The student information management system requires the establishment of data standards to ensure that the information collected about each student will be consistent across the over 400 school districts in Massachusetts. The development of data standards involved two tasks:
(00) Selecting the specific information that districts must maintain and report to the Department Establishing common definitions, formats and reporting categories for each data element The data standards development process is described in detail below:
May-September, 1996
Identified individual data elements of existing DOE reporting requirements Reviewed DOE reporting mandates – state, federal, monitoring
The first step of the process of developing data standards involved reviewing the aggregate data collection forms currently used by the Department of Education. The Department was assisted by Glynn Ligon of Evaluation Software Publishing, Inc., who has extensive experience working with other states who have developed student information management systems as well as with the National Center for Education Statistics. The individual data elements on which the data collection forms were based were identified and classified by reporting mandate and linked to existing national data standards (NCES Student Data Handbook, SPEEDExpress, etc.).
The state and federal reporting mandates that require the existing data collection were researched and analyzed to identify the specific reporting requirements that the Department must meet.
October, 1996-March, 1997
Reviewed existing data elements handbooks – for example, NCES, California Developed 5 categories to classify the universe of data elements
The Department identified additional lists of all possible data elements that could be collected as appropriate. Resources from the National Center for Educational Statistics as well as the data standards from other states were examined. Five categories by which to sort data elements were identified:
Category I Data elements that districts must maintain about each student and submit to the DOE Category II Data elements that districts may be required to submit to the DOE in the future Category III Data elements that districts are required to maintain, but not submit to the DOE Category IV Data elements that districts are not required to maintain
Category V Data elements that districts are legally prohibited from maintaining
The process focused on selecting Category I data elements and establishing standards for maintaining and reporting them. The selection criteria consisted of:
Data elements that would replace existing paper-based reporting Data elements that were required for federal or state reporting;
Data elements that would be reasonable to require from districts in the first phase of implementation.
The Data Standards Workgroup was established to provide broad-based input into the development of the student data standards. An initial meeting of the Data Standards Workgroup was held on March 27, 1997.
March-August, 1997
Developed draft list of Category I data elements and reviewed/revised with
Data Standards Work Group June 24, 1997
Advanced Systems (assessment contractor)
District Site Visits (Began in summer 1997 and completed in December, 1997)
A draft list of Category I data elements was identified and reviewed internally for technical, policy and legal issues. The need to determine how a student identifier would be assigned and managed emerged as the major issue in the development of data standards. The Department began a review of the legal issues that were involved and decided to contract with Glynn Ligon and Barbara Clements of Evaluation Software Publishing, Inc. to assist in the data standards development process.
September - February, 1998
