Data and Business Rules

This section details the data sources, type of data, and the data refresh rates. The primary data provider for the EWS solution is the K12 SLDS. Data is sourced from the Student Information Systems and the Reading and Math Assessment system.

This section also details business rules for the EWS Solution to include flags and indicators, scoring, scoring weights, thresholds, and references. The purpose is to provide educators with measurable data over time for individual students and student groups. Indicators are quantifiable measures of behaviors, skills, and characteristics that are highly predictive of students’ success. Indicators are limited to the most valuable (a few good indicators are more actionable than many). Thresholds that indicate the type of action needed — indicating whether to take action now, not yet, or not at all — may vary by context, but will fall within a numerical range established by evidence.
