Today, eScholar is focused on helping SEAs address a number of important data initiatives, including...

Data Quality

The Data Quality Campaign has clearly outlined to SEAs that they should develop a set of data standards and definitions that apply to all education data that is used by the state. They also strongly urge states to monitor the quality of the data that they receive from districts. eScholar has worked with SEAs and LEAs to put in place the technology and processes that can significantly improve data submission, data integrity and data quality management.

Student & Staff Identification

In order to undertake longitudinal analysis, it is essential that student and staff data have unique identifiers which are persistent no matter where data originates within the state educational system. In selecting a solution to this critical issue, agencies need to take into account a number of key factors. eScholar has been working with SEAs and Federal education agencies that are supporting  nearly 10 million students and staff.  Find out what has made these implementations successful.

Comprehensive Data Warehousing

Bringing together the myriad of data from local districts and other data sources into a comprehensive data warehouse has become increasingly important to educators, administrators and policy makers. The focus of most states has been to capture PK-12 data. Today, however, this focus is being expanded to include postsecondary, workforce and other key social services agency data. Expanding a PK-12 data warehouse to support postsecondary and adult learners has both technical and organizational challenges. eScholar has worked closely with customers to create the products as well as the processes and services to make this effort more manageable and successful.
