Core Districts

Data analytics:insights dashboard is a program developed to refine the calculation at the heart of core's multiple measures accountability system as well as building capacity for systemic success.data collaborative is a collaboration between participating leas (districts, charter leas, and additional networks) focused on improving student outcomes. The data collaborative's long-term goal is for all california students to have strong support, effective programming, and an educational community standing together by their side so that they can achieve and succeed in college and career. Work toward this goal is supported by facilitating inter- and intra-district data collaboration that will help identify and address inequities in educational experiences and outcomes. The hope is to support member districts (which include approximately 1.2 million students) to adapt this work for local school report cards that will enable parents, students, educators, and leaders to understand and respond to matters of school quality.support index is a collaborative project that will leverage the full data set in the core data collaborative, which includes over two million students across 150 leas (small, medium, large, rural, urban, suburban, charter, and district). This effort will explore additional measures of student needs and/or assets. These include such items as address-linked census data (e.g., crime, median income, health) and locally available data in oakland (e.g., student choice data). At its heart, the approach of the students needs index is importantly unique in that instead of relying on the perceptions of individuals about what defines need, the organization will be exploring the relationship between outcomes of interest (e.g., student performance on standards tests) and student and community factors that are outside of the education system's control. This approach builds on research and practice in the areas of student growth modeling and predictive analytics, both of which are part of the existing core-ea data system.
