CTE REPORTING Three primary aspects for reporting secondary CTE data: 1. Programs Fact: Career Education Template •

Includes: (1) the identification and coding of the cluster area(s) the student participated and/or concentrated in, (2) the identification of the student’s highest level of participation in that cluster, and (3) if the student is a concentrator, the identification of their Technical Skill Attainment method. • NOTE: Students may have more than one Programs Fact record if participating in and/or concentrating in more than one Program Code.

2. Student Grades Template •

When students are identified in Programs Fact in Career Education, their data in Student Grades can be extracted for review of their program participation/concentration. Be sure all student course taking is reported in student grades if the student is receiving high school credit. This is also important to ensure programs districts are offering are captured.

3. Post School Survey Template •

Provides follow-up information on the concentrators who graduated in the previous reporting year.

WHO? CTE Participant: A student in grades 7-12 who has earned credit in at least one CTE course during the school year. Students may participate in more than one career area. CTE Concentrator: A student in grades 9-12 who has earned credit in three or more one semester-long courses within a single career cluster.

ADVISER OVERVIEW

Aimee Muehling

ADVISER •

This term/acronym is used to describe the overall program. What was once NSSRS will soon become ADVISER

•

This is a new and improved way to collect student data that will help districts to make data-informed decisions to improve student learning.

•

ADVISER Dashboard – is a an optional web-based view of student and staff data that give educators the opportunity to make data driven decision. That can be accessed with a single sign on.

For more info: https://www.education.ne.gov/dataservices/SLDS_Grant/Dashboard.html

ED-FI ed-fi is the product/technology that NDE is using to collect data. ed-fi allows NDE to pull data from multiple systems for example PowerSchool and Infinite Campus (no uploading needed) This will allow districts to see “real” time results For more Info: http://www.ed-fi.org/

THE HISTORY Up until 2006 Student Data was submitted via paper forms at an aggregate level. 2007 First year of NSSRS. Student Level Data is now uploaded to the state. 2010ish: Districts start to ask “Why can’t you just suck the data out of my SIS OR can’t the state just make all districts use one SIS” 2011 NDE listened and applies for the SLDS grant. 2012 NDE was a recipient of the Statewide Longitudinal Data System Grant. ADVISER was born.

THE HISTORY 2013-2015: Development and limited production release to approximately 8 pilot districts. PowerSchool, and SIMS become certified vendors 2015-2016: Implemented the Early Adopters Program (EAPI)approximately 30 districts. 2016-2017: EAPII 200 districts and growing
