2018 CISC Leadership Symposium

A data warehouse helps districts connect, integrate, and analyze data from a variety of source systems such as student information systems, state testing files, intervention programs and human resource systems, and is integral to improving decision-making and targeting resources for highest impact. As a resource for all school districts in Santa Clara County, the Santa Clara County Office of Education’s DataZone saves valuable time for administrators & teachers with complete data integration, automated data loads, easy-to-use prebuilt dashboards and rapid implementation times at a fraction of the cost.

Objectives:
Attendees understand:
• The role of a data warehouse and how it supports strategic decision-making and program monitoring
• How DataZone dashboards can guide strategic interventions
• The change management process required for implementing a data solution to support continuous improvement

Alignment to conference strands
Strategic use of data supports the alignment of district priorities and is the foundation of an integrated system of student support. Over 90 DataZone dashboards provide actionable metrics that are tied to continuous improvement processes. Each metric easily drills to student lists and allows the creation of student cohorts for ongoing monitoring. Persistent achievement and opportunity gaps are visible in these metrics and early warning indicators provide the basis for robust student support.

Engagement strategies
An interactive demonstration will allow users to experience the power of DataZone’s capabilities.
