2019 Start of School Campaign Priorities
Audience• LEA English Learner, Special Education POCs
Goal• Provide LEAs with timely access to critical information on
incoming high school students and students with disabilities (SWD) and English learners (EL) using the EL, SWD, and High School Transition Qlik applications
How We’ll Get There• Addition of IDEA Part C data elements to the SWD app• Additional data to be included in the EL app• Addition of rising ninth and tenth grade student information in
the High School Transition app
#OSSEStartofSchool
PresenterPresentation NotesAdditional EL data available in the Early Access to EL Qlik application:�The updated tool will launch in late April and will once again enable LEA teams to identify newly enrolled English Learners and access critical information about them, such as prior ACCESS scores and EL proficiency level. The updated application provides additional information on Access Growth Target, re-identification of a student as EL, and if the student was ever EL.
Additional Part C data available in the Early Access to SWD Qlik application:�An updated application in Qlik for students with disabilities will launch in late April and will once again provide timely and appropriate access to information for students with disabilities. The updated application also flags when a student under the age of 6 had previously received IDEA Part C early intervention services.
Additional data available in High School Transition Qlik application:An updated application in Qlik that includes 9th, 10th and 11th Grade Transition students will launch in the beginning of June and will provide key enrollment and academic data on incoming 9th, 10th and 11th graders. App previously included repeater info, at-risk indicator, SWD status, FARMS status, homeless indicator, EL indicator, sending school, and other useful items. For 2019-20, app will also include enrollment data for incoming 10th and 11th graders as well as academic outcome data for incoming 10th graders. �

• Setting English language development goals
Considerations
Early Access EL Data How LEAs Can Use the Data 2. Identify whether transfer students are ELs
• To determine whether anincoming transfer student is EL and their proficiency level
• To prepare for EL services for the student
PresenterPresentation NotesTransfer Students (for receiving school or LEAs)
If a student is identified as EL in the Early Access to EL Data application in Qlik or in SLED, the student does not need to be rescreened.
If the student is not an EL in Qlik, and has a screener status of proficient, accept the screener data as valid and do not rescreen the student. Exceptions are: When the LEA believes the child is an EL based on the student’s performance on previously administered tests, teacher observations and/or input from parents or guardians.The incoming student is in PreK or Kindergarten and, therefore, should be rescreened in the spring of their Kindergarten year or spring of their 1st grade year.
If a student has a home language survey that indicates a language other than English AND a screener status is not provided in Qlik and the student has not yet taken ACCESS, then the school or LEA personnel should attempt to contact the former school to confirm the student’s current EL status before administering a screener.

Resolving Data Errors
#OSSEStartofSchool
46 #OSSEStartofSchool
Why do data errors matter?
• Risk of underidentifying– A student who has previously been EL without exiting may
not receive needed receive services or take ACCESS• Risk of overidentifying:
– A student who has previously exited without being purposefully re-identified may be inadvertently placed in unneeded services or unnecessarily take ACCESS
Resolving data errors can avoid unnecessary confusion for students, parents, teachers and administrators.
Importance of Resolving Data Errors
47
Assessment Errors
• Students who were identified as EL in 2014-15 or later and are in grade 1 or higher, but do not have an ACCESS score
– Resolution: Assess the student on ACCESS, ensure student is on school-level EL lists
Data Errors
#OSSEStartofSchool
PresenterPresentation NotesHighlight that the audit values are considered authoritative, and that they should compare audit lists to their own lists to ensure that students don’t fall through the cracks. If a student is mis-identified, go through exceptions policy.
48
Screener-Related Errors
• Students who are classified as EL, but don’t have a screener or ACCESS score
– Resolution: Ensure that students have been screened or the student took ACCESS in 2018-19. Enter screener score into school’s SIS
• Students whose screener status is proficient but they are classified as EL
– Resolution: Ensure student has been properly screened and that original screener status is reflected in the school’s SIS.
– Remember, students cannot exit EL status based on a screener.
– If the student should not have been identified as EL, submit an OST ticket with appropriate documentation (see the EL Exceptions Policy)
Data Errors
#OSSEStartofSchool
PresenterPresentation NotesHighlight that the audit values are considered authoritative, and that they should compare audit lists to their own lists to ensure that students don’t fall through the cracks. If a student is mis-identified, go through exceptions policy.
49
Parents Waive Services
• Students whose parents waived services, but are not labeled as ELs and/or do not have ACCESS scores
– Resolution: Students should still be classified as ELs and take ACCESS, even if their parents waive services
– Change the student to EL-YES in the school’s SIS and administer ACCESS
Data Errors
#OSSEStartofSchool
50
Native Language
• Students who are classified as EL but whose native language is English
– Resolution: Double-check that the native language on the Home Language is correct and change the value in your school’s SIS if it is not
– NOTE: English may be the only language on the most recent version of the HLS, so listing English as the native language is acceptable
Data Errors
#OSSEStartofSchool
51
Unified Data Errors
• “Identified as English Learner in Past Two Years – Not ACCESS Proficient” or “Not English Learner but Not ACCESS Proficient”
– Student has been identified as EL by OSSE based on historical data, and should continue to be EL unless resolved through the exceptions policy.
NOTE: You can also look in the Unified Data Errors (UDE) Qlik App, under “assessment errors”, though the deadline for resolving these errors for 2018-19 has passed. If students’ EL statuses are not correct, follow the same procedures in the EL Exceptions Policy to have errors removed for 2019-20.
