  3. SWIS summary 06-07 (Majors Only)1974 schools; 1,025,422 students; 948,874 ODRs

  4. SWIS Status as of Oct, 2007

  6. Check In Check Out • CICO data collection and reporting application • Must have a SWIS account • Will cost additional $50 annually for CICO • Development and deployment timeline • Summer ’07: development and beta testing • Fall ’07: further testing • Available January, 2008

  7. BEP Plan Weekly BEP Meeting 9 Week Graph Sent Morning Check-In Program Update Home Check-In EXIT Afternoon Check-out BEP/Check-in Check-out Cycle Class Check out TeacherChecks Class Check in

  8. Student Management Goal is defined here

  9. Absent No Data No Sch 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 • Choices on drop down list include • Absent • No data • No school • 0-10 possible points • Use preferences to define the period names and define how many points are possible per period. • If rating 3 school expectations on a 0-2 scale, there are 6 possible points per period, if rating 5 expectations on a 0-2 scale, there are 10 possible points per period

  10. Goal line adjusts as determined by data entry

  11. Preferences for defining data entry fields

  12. How to Get CICO • School has an Active SWIS Account and SWIS Facilitator • A team is defined to coordinate CICO program and use data for decision-making

  13. SWIS-CICO Readiness • The team has scheduled meetings and the data needed for decision making for students using CICO • A CICO Coordinator is trained as a SWIS user

  14. SWIS-CICO Readiness • School has CICO program features including: • description of program, • daily report card for student, • a data system for decision making, • a coordinator, • a process for identifying students, and • process/materials for training adults, students, families

  15. District Integration Update • S-Dex • A software application that builds a bridge from SWIS to district databases • Data entry into SWIS • S-DEX can be located at: http://sdex.swis.org • An S-DEX Manual is available under resources on www.swis.org and provides specific step by step instructions for set up and use.

  16. The Good News S-Dex works with any system that can upload an Excel file S-Dex allows district to upload all SWIS schools at one time S-Dex is free S-Dex is working now The Tough News S-Dex requires the district Information Tech to build an upload query S-Dex requires knowledge of the host system in the district. As a SWIS facilitator you can only show the option, you can’t deliver the data S-Dex

  17. School Interoperability Framework • The future • Will allow all district data modules to interact. District Transportation Agent Zone Integration Server District Grades & Demographics Agent District DIBELS Data Agent SWIS Agent State Achievement Agent

  18. SIF (When, Where, How) • SWIS will be SIF compatible by January 2008 • South Carolina • Raise this with your district, and state information technology personnel now. • Avoid applications that do not offer SIF compatibility • Encourage investment in Zone Integration Server

  19. eSIS Agent Zone Integration Server Agent SASI SWIS Agent Agent Pentamation • School Interoperability Framework (SIF) • Spring 2008 • Download and upload from district databases • Anticipated to be used nationwide to link software applications For more information about the School Interoperability Framework connect online at www.sifinfo.org
