Slide1

April 2010

Minnesota’s P-20 Statewide Longitudinal Education Data System (SLEDS)

Minnesota Office of Higher EducationSlide2

What is SLEDS?

The Statewide Longitudinal Education Data System (SLEDS) will:

Compile student education data from pre-kindergarten through completion of postsecondary education and into workforce.

Match data from:

Minnesota Department of Education,

Minnesota Office of Higher Education, and

Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development.Slide3

Why create SLEDS?

Creating a statewide student longitudinal data system has been

a goal for Minnesota state legislators, state agencies and the governor for several years.

National organizations have supported state efforts to create these data systems.

The federal government required states to create these data systems to receive fiscal stabilization funds in 2009. Slide4

What are federal requirements?

Federal requirements specify state systems must be able to:

(

i

) identify factors that correlate to students' ability to successfully engage in and complete postsecondary-level general education coursework without the need for prior developmental coursework;

(ii) identify factors to increase the percentage of low-income and minority students who are academically prepared to enter and successfully complete postsecondary-level general education coursework; and

(iii) use the data in the system to otherwise inform education policy and practice in order to better align State academic content standards, and curricula, with the demands of postsecondary education, the 21st century workforce, and the Armed Forces.

The America Competes ActSlide5

What is the vision of SLEDS?

To link currently available data

K-12 enrollment and high school graduation data

Postsecondary enrollment and completion data

Employment / workforce data

To conduct research

Identify predictors of long-term student success

Design targeted improvement strategies in programs

Improve data driven decision making

Meet federal funding requirementsSlide6

What types of student data

will be included?

Attendance (school or college name)

Demographic (age, gender, race)

Enrollment (grade level, year of graduation)

Academic performance and testing (test scores, # of credits enrolled)

Special Services (free and reduced price lunch eligible, gifted/talented, English language learner)Slide7

What research can be done

using SLEDS?

System Performance Analysis

Who participates in higher education upon high school graduation?

Who does not participate? Why?

Educational Attainment Gap Analysis

What are the retention, graduation and completion rates by racial/ethnic groups? Geographic areas?

Program and Intervention Analysis

What courses, curriculum and programs lead to college participation and completion? Slide8

What are the legal issues?

Minnesota Data Practices Act

Identifies categories of individual data that can be shared

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

Restricts an education institution’s ability to disclose data

Restricts MDE and OHE’s ability to

redisclose

student data

MDE and OHE Data Sharing Agreement

Defines student data to be provided by each agency

Specifies linkage and usage of student data as required by FERPA

OHE Enrollment Data Sharing Agreement with higher education institutions

Defines data to be provided by higher education institutions

Specifies OHE’s usage of the data as required by FERPASlide9

Who will

govern SLEDS?

SLEDS Governance Committee

SLEDS Research Committee

SLEDS IT Staff

SLEDS Data Advisory Committee

SLEDS System Coordinators

SLEDS State Data Center

Minnesota Office of Higher Education

Minnesota Department of Education

P-20 Education PartnershipSlide10

What are SLEDS committee responsibilities?

Governance Committee

Evaluate research requests

Appoint research and data advisory committee members

Research Committee

Develop and evaluate proposed research

Provide technical expertise

Data Advisory Committee

Review technical specifications of data requests

Provide technical expertise on data structure, linkages, user interfacesSlide11

What are the organizational responsibilities?

State Agencies – MDE, OHE, DEED, OET

Maintain student confidentiality during data linkage

Maintain data integrity of new data system

Identify and conduct research for state level policy making using SLEDS data

Postsecondary Institutions

Provide postsecondary education data to OHE

Serve as objective reviewers of state level research

Identify and conduct research using SLEDS dataSlide12

What are the next steps?

Share the vision of a longitudinal data systemAppointment of committee members by Minnesota’s P-20 Education Partnership

Establish data sharing protocols

Develop technical specifications and construct data system

Formalize research agendaSlide13
