 The
WESD Data Warehouse
reads
data from the Student Systems – Schoolmaster,
SASI, LBL, or Pentamation, ensures the data meets defined standards, and loads
it into the presentation area for access by various reporting and analysis
tools.
The Data warehouse is designed for querying and analysis. Combined
with a dashboard, the analysis information can be “pushed” to the
end-user based on their job role. In a portal environment such as
SharePoint, all the information and tools at are hand to make the
necessary decisions for informing instruction to meet federal
requirements and district or school goals.
Business Intelligence software
is used for the analysis and reporting of the “clean” data.
These include many flavors, but for the most part include reporting,
multi-dimensional querying, and dashboards.
Reporting tools provide pre-defined reports or allow for
ad-hoc reports created by district staff.
Multi-dimensional analysis tools exhibit data in multiple
arrays - also called cubes - that allow efficient aggregation and dis-aggregation
of data. Cubes allow end users
to understand their data more effectively.
For example, the student assessment data could be viewed by AYP criteria – ethnicity,
socio-economic status, Students w/ disabilities, LEP -, TAG, or gender.
Then this data is able to be analyzed by
influencing factors such as attendance, discipline, transfer students, and more.
All of this data can further be broken out by prior time periods such as
month, term, or school year.
Dashboards
are graphical views of the data providing an immediate view of specific criteria.
Dashboards can be defined by job role so that they provide the view of data
necessary to answer the questions for the specific job role.
Pre-determined measures of the data with the ability to
look at the data in multiple ways.
