Major Outcomes:
- Phase I of the project creates the necessary foundation for successfully managing data. This foundation includes policy, clearly defined responsibilities (Data Managers, Data Management Committee, Data Policy Committee), a single agency-wide data dictionary, a data inventory, data standards, a logical design for a comprehensive data architecture and a first step toward expanding the existing operational data store to include additional key student demographic data.
- Phase II is an effort to acquire and implement a business intelligence reporting tool and to develop an initial set of reports that represent the highest demand for information by the agency, legislature, community, schools and districts.
- Phase III is an effort to acquire and implement a data warehouse and set of ETL and/or School Interoperability Framework tools to facilitate data extraction, translation, sharing, integration, and loading. The purpose of the data warehouse is to archive data from various TNDOE operational data stores and to further facilitate longitudinal data analyses.
- eReporting System: This system will automate all financial activities and reporting. Upon completion of this work, all Local Finance and Disbursement activities will be stored in relational tables for inclusion in the Data Warehouse for use in the longitudinal data system.
- Teacher Certification System: This system will provide a work-flow process for certification of teachers in Tennessee.
- SIF Pilot: This effort will pilot vertical (from the district to the state) and horizontal (within the district) integration using state-supported SIF tools.
