  2. Use of Data • Unprecedented demands for accountability, efficiency, and effectiveness • Increase in demands for greater transparency • Data mining to look inside for patterns for actionable items • Predictive techniques help to predict behavior and events which help to make decisions • Strong accountability demands for analytics for student success and productivity

  3. Use of Data • Learning organizations simply cannot live outside the enterprise focus on measurable, tangible results driving IT, operations, finance and other mission critical applications. • Big effects often come from small, meaningful data driven decisions • Effective use of data for decision-making is directly related to trust, validity, and reliability.

  5. Credit Recovery • Through an expressed need throughout the state, in 2010, the SCVSP created credit recovery courses based on: • State standards • Best practices in successful credit recovery programs • Teaching experience since program inception • Teacher knowledge and pedagogy • Personalized Learning Designer in new Moodle 2.3 • The result has been a success in growth of credit recovery across the state; thus, increasing the graduation rate.

  8. Keyboarding Pilot Initiative • Through meetings and inquiries from schools and districts, there is an expressed need for keyboarding in grades 3-8 to prepare students for online state PASS testing. • SCVSP listened and sought ways to provide support. • As a result, the SCVSP will pilot keyboarding in grades 3-6 in 2013-2014. • We already have keyboarding for high school credit for grades 7-12.

  9. Keyboarding Pilot Project Objectives • To provide instruction in alpha-numeric keyboarding to students in grades 3-6. • To provide navigation instruction and practice with a mouse through instruction in alpha-numeric keyboarding and open source resources. • To provide opportunity for students to compose paragraphs, short answers, or essay responses at the keyboard in a timely manner from writing prompts provided in the course.

  10. Projections-Keyboarding Pilot Project • There are more than 220,000 students in grades 3-6 in South Carolina. • The Keyboarding Pilot Project will reach over 7,000 students during the first year. • Based on project outcomes, collected data, and evaluation, the SCVSP will move forward to prepare for state-wide deployment 2014-2015.
