The model for 21st-century learning requires that student performance be measured when there
is still time to take action to improve. Instant feedback on assessments can assist educators to
make decisions on what is best for each student individually in a real-time environment. This
instant feedback is provided to students, parents, teachers, and District staff through the
Performance Matters assessment system. Technology-based assessments can deliver this
functionality to drive continuous improvement. The District is now completing an upgrade to both
the wired and wireless infrastructure to support online testing and digital content for learning in
the Classroom.

Educational Data Warehouse

The Educational Data Warehouse (EDW) is the District's central repository for data for 186,000
students, including rosters, demographics, and assessments. The primary functions of the EDW
are to develop, maintain, and distribute web-based reports and graphs that enable 100% of the
District's teachers and administrators to have just-in-time access to student assessment,
demographic, and academic data. The EDW also generates and transfers data files to business
partners, including the Palm Beach County Healthcare District and other agencies, to fulfill their
data requirements.

Additionally, EDW specialists provide professional development sessions for users in the areas
of awareness and quality assurance in accessing and interpreting the student listing reports,
graphs, summary tables, management matrices, and data panels. Data from the EDW enables
users to make well-informed decisions leading to improvements in student achievement and
performance.

The EDW development team has developed and hosted more than 400 reports. One of the
immediate priorities of the EDW team is to develop a new Key Performance Indicator dashboard
to align with the new District strategic plan. In addition, the development of a College and
Career Readiness reports at the District, school, and student levels will be developed over the
next three years. Finally, the development of student learning growth reports that will enable
schools and leaders to understand the relationship between teacher evaluation results and
student performance will be another key priority.

The EDW has set the framework in place for scaling to a robust Enterprise Data
Warehouse. In addition to student data, the Enterprise Data Warehouse will incorporate other
data sources such as HR, financial, school transportation, and school food service. Seamless
integration processes will enable more frequent loading of transactional data into the Enterprise
Data Warehouse. Responsibilities of the EDW developers will expand to create reports with the
new data and provide professional development to users.

Data needs to be in the hands of all stakeholders including educators, students, parents, school
principals, and administrators who have the ability to make decisions regarding student
progress and achievement. Parents are stakeholders who currently have access to EDW
individual student reports through the parent portal (SIS Gateway, FLDOE portal) and
conferences with school-based personnel. The EDW team will investigate methods to allow
parents to access an expanded array of reports specific to individual students. To provide
