CALPADS LEA ADMINISTRATOR AUTHORIZATION INTERIM PROCESS To implement best practices and enhance overall CALPADS security, the process for authorizing CALPADS LEA Administrators has been modified. If the CALPADS Administrator application on file at the California Department of Education (CDE) is over one year old, a new application is now required upon an LEA Administrator account password reset request. This process will continue until the completion of the 2017–18 End-of-Year (EOY) data submission, and will not begin this August as stated in the April 2017 CALPADS Information Meeting. A new process will begin with the rollout of the changes to the CALPADS security model and upgraded user in...

CAASPP Update Focusing on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System, including the Smarter Balanced assessments—a major component of CAASPP—and the California Alternate Assessments and science assessments.  Accessibility Notes: Updated Guide Now Available! The updated  Accessibility Guide for CAASPP Online Testing , which includes a change log (in the appendix), is now available on both the  Student Accessibility Resources and Test Settings  Web page and the  Manuals and Instructions  Web page of the CAASP Portal Web site. March System Downtime Begins Tonight Tonight at 5 p.m. through March 20 at 7 a.m., the Test Operations Management System, Test Administrator Interface, Interim Assessment (IA) Viewer, IA Hand Scoring, Online Reporting System, and the Appeal, Completion Status, and Roster Management systems will be undergoing system maintenance and will not be accessible. March 20—California Alternate Assessments and California Science Tests March 20—the opening of the CAASPP science and alternate assessments administration—is less than a week away! Are you ready? The high school grade-level assignment for the pilot California Science Test (CAST) and the pilot California Alternate Assessment (CAA) for Science can be confirmed by checking the assignment link on the CAASPP Portal  CAST Web page .  Confirm your  CAA version assignments  before you start printing out Directions for Administration (DFAs) or administer the CAA for English Language Arts and CAA for Mathematics. The new CAA for Science pilot test is a performance task (PT) assessment designed to be administered closer to the student’s instructional activity. This innovative assessment allows test examiners (TEs) some flexibility in the administration of the PT. TEs can select familiar materials for students and allow students to demonstrate what they know. A sample training test is available on the CAASPP Portal  CAAs Web page . The training test is aligned with the grade five California Next Generation Science Standards but can be used by students in any of the tested grades to familiarize educators, students, parents, and stakeholders with the testing format of the pilot. This training test is the same type of embedded PT that will be administered during this year’s pilot CAA for Science. Designed to be administered one on one, the training test PT is nonsecure and for use in preparing for the pilot CAA for Science.  Science Fact Sheets The  California Science Test Pilot Assessment Fact Sheet  is now available! It provides a quick and easy “Who, What, When, Why, and How” for the CAST as well as a timeline for implementation through to the operational assessment in 2019. A fact sheet for the California Alternate Assessment for Science will be posted soon.

FALL 2 COLLECTION WINDOW: DEADLINE REMINDER The final Fall 2 amendment window closes on March 31, 2017. It is important for local educational agencies (LEAs) to certify the Fall 2 submission on or before March 31, 2017 in order to report their official staff full-time equivalent (FTE), English learner (EL) services, and student courseenrollment data.    CHANGES TO THE CALPADS DIRECT CERTIFICATION EXTRACT On March 7, 2017, CALPADS will stop using status code “Other” (represented by “O” in the CALPADS interface) for students eligible for free meals. The CALPADS user interface (UI) for the Direct Certification extract will display additional status codes as noted in the table below. CALPADS will replace the “O” sta tus with the appropriate status: “M” for Free MediCal , “R” for Reduced MediCal, or “T” for TANF. The “ S ” status code for SNAP will not change. “Other” (“O”) is the only status being replaced.  LEAs should be aware there will be four codes that indicate whether a student is flagged for Direct Certification: Codes S, M, R, and T. The CALPADS UI will be changed to show the new Direct Certification Status codes. The status code selection is a multi-selection drop-down menu that can be controlled as follows: With a mouse click plus the Shift key (to select an entire group of continuous options) or with a mouse click plus the CTRL key (to select various status code options in a random order). As of March 7, 2017, the Direct Certification extract will reflect the following values noted in the table. Note that if you request the Direct Certification extract prior to March 7, 2017, the system will use status codes of “ S, ” “ O, ” and “ N ” (and as mentioned above, “O” will be replaced accordingly as of March 7). (Note: The table below continues on the following page.)   Code Definition SSNAP – The student is directly certified for free meals because the student is receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (also known as CalFresh). M Free MediCal – The student is directly certified for free meals because the student has met the income eligibility criteria through the MediCal program. R Reduced MediCal – The student is directly certified for reduced-price meals because the student has met the income eligibility criteria through the MediCal program. T TANF – The student is directly certified for free meals through TANF, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program (CalWORKS). N Not Certified – The student is not directly certified for free meals.  For more information, please contact the Direct Certification team ( This email address is being protected from spambots.

Dear Accountability Coordinators:  March 13, 2017  INFORMATION REGARDING THE UPDATED DATA FILES FOR THE DASHBOARD AND 5-BY-5 GRID PLACEMENT REPORTS  On Wednesday, March 8, 2017, an e-mail was sent notifying that updates were made to: (1) the data files for the Suspension, Graduation, and English Learner Progress Indicators, (2) the California School Dashboard, and (3) the Five-by-Five Placement Reports. This is a follow-up to that communication to inform you of the specific revisions made and to notify you that the Academic Indicator will be updated by the end of the day. The specific updates are as follows:    Suspension Rate Indicator: The local educational agency (LEA)-level data now exclude charter and alternative schools’ data. Prior to the update, the LEA-level data included these schools’ data. This update impacted most LEAs’ suspension rate data. Graduation Rate Indicator: The LEA-level data now exclude all alternative schools’ data. Prior to the update, only Alternative Schools Accountability Model (ASAM) schools’ data were excluded. The revisions now exclude both ASAM schools’ data and schools that meet the alternative school definition in the California Education Code (EC) (i.e., continuation, community day, opportunity, juvenile court, county community, etc.). This update impacted a limited number of LEAs only. English Learner Progress Indicator: Prior to the update, LEAs and schools received an automatic assignment of an Orange performance level if they did not test at least 50 percent of their annual California English Language Development Test (CELDT) test takers. The calculation of the 50 percent has been revised to include all CELDT test takers, not just annual test takers. This update reduced the number of schools that were assigned the Orange performance level. (There are no LEAs that received an assignment of an Orange performance level.) Academic Indicator:Determining the N size of “30 or more” for the Students with Disabilities (SWD) student group has been revised to be based only on students who have a valid primary disability code in the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS). Therefore, the SWD student group will receive a performance level (color) if the group has 30 or more students with a valid primary disability code in both the current and prior years of data. However, this student group also includes students who exited special education and have not received special education services for up to two years. These students are not used to determine the “30 or more” N size. But, both current and exited SWDs are included in the calculation for Status and Change. For example, a school that has 28 students with a valid primary disability code and two students who exited special education within the past two years would not receive a performance level because students with a valid primary disability code is less than 30. Because the N size is above ten, Status and Change will be reported based on all 30 students.  This update reduced the number of SWD student groups that receive a performance level.  If you have any questions regarding this e-mail, please contact the Academic...

Note:  This email was originally distributed on March 1st, 2017 to the Calfiornia Dashboard Coordinator's listserv: Dear Dashboard Coordinators:  March 1, 2017  UPDATE ON PUBLIC RELEASE AND NEW FUNCTIONALITY  The California School Dashboard local educational agency (LEA) preview period continues through early March. This correspondence provides an update on the public launch, new system functionality, and future system features expected to rollout prior to the public launch.  Public Launch  The public launch is tentatively scheduled for the week of March 13, 2017. We encourage LEAs to continue to use this period to share their performance data with local stakeholders. A communications toolkit (see Resources section below) is available to assist in that effort. As the specific date of public launch nears, we will notify Dashboard Coordinators and Public Information Officers about the communications rollout for state, regional, and local media outlets.  New Web site Features  Since the LEA preview began on February 10, 2017, several new Dashboard features are now available. Most notably, users can now select Single Student Group Reports to see how a particular student group is performing with respect to any of the state indicators. This feature can be accessed by selecting a state indicator from any of the report tabs and then selecting a student group within the Single Indicator Report. In response to user feedback, updates are now available to assist with navigating throughout the site, including ensuring that report navigation tabs are present on all pages.  Functionality Under Development  The following features are under development and are expected to rollout prior to the public launch in March 2017.    Student Group Report Availability: The Student Group Report provides the performance of all students and each student group on the state indicators. Users can choose to highlight only the student groups in the Blue and Green performance levels, the Yellow performance level, or the Orange and Red performance levels. Local Performance Indicators-New Performance Categories: Based on stakeholder feedback, the three performance levels for the local indicators, Met, Not Met, and Not Met for Two or More Years are being changed to Data Reported, Data Not Reported, Data Not Reported for Two or More Years. This change is designed to clarify that meeting the standard is based on whether the LEA collected and reported the local performance data for each of the local indicators. Grade 11 Smarter Balanced Assessment Results: The Grade 11 Smarter Balanced Assessment results will be available on the College/Career Single Indicator Report. This data is a component of the College/Career Indicator that will be made available in fall 2017. Additional Data on English Learners: English learner (EL) only and ELs who have not been reclassified as fluent English proficient (RFEP) will be available on the English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments Single Indicator Reports. Optional Narrative Box: The Optional Narrative Box functionality will be operational prior to the public release to provide LEAs the opportunity to explain their local context or identify any circumstances that may have impacted their performance.  Resources In conjunction...

(Note: Original Source:  CALPADS Email from August 5, 2016 ) It’s time to begin preparations for the 2016 Fall 1 CALPADS data collection! This communication serves to announce the initial 2016–17 CALPADS training schedule and remind LEAs of the importance of training and the appropriate class sequence.  The 2016–17 schedule starts off with offering the Essential 2 and Essential 3 courses, along with a new course regarding CALPADS documentation. The first Fall 1 training session will occur the week of September 12. Registration availability for the Fall 1 sessions will be posted in the beginning of September. NEW COURSE  The Guide to CALPADS Documentationtraining sessionwill familiarize users with CALPADS documentation and support tools. In this session, we will review the purpose of the CALPADS documents, how they are used, how they link together, and where you can find them. This is not a required course for the Training Recognition award, but this course is highly recommended if you want to better understand how to get the most out of the documentation.  NEW STAFF  If you are new to CALPADS, you are expected to take the CALPADS Essential classes (course numbers 2–4) to become familiar with the CALPADS functionality. These Essential classes provide the foundation necessary to prepare for the specific data collections (Fall 1, Fall 2, etc.) as well as to prepare for the steps in Statewide Student Identifier (SSID) requests and Anomaly resolution. Once the Essential 2–3 classes are completed, you should attend the Fall 1 Reporting & Certification class. After the Fall 1 submission is well under way, you should attend the Essential 4 and Fall 2 classes. Additionally, the Q&A sessions listed in the schedule complement your learning experience and allow an opportunity to talk with support staff. The Q&A sessions require registration and are available to anyone, regardless of your training level.  EXPERIENCED STAFF  CALPADS users who completed the Fall 1 data submission last year do not need to take the Essential classes unless they feel that a repeat will be beneficial. The Fall 1 Advanced class was created for staff who have a strong understanding of the data submission process and want to learn about changes in the current year.  SELF-PACED TRAINING  Self-Paced modules for all the training sessions are available for everyone. The Self-Paced modules are a good alternative to the presenter-led sessions when you want to learn on your own, need a refresher on a particular topic, or can’t find time to attend the live sessions. We request that users register for the Self-Paced modules, so that we can update our records to reflect who has attended training. Self-Paced Registration can be found here: http://csis.fcmat.org/Pages/Self-Paced-Training.aspx. The Self-Paced content for Fall 1 will be updated by the end of November.  CLASS ENROLLMENT  To obtain detailed information about class descriptions and the target audiences for each class offered, please visit the FCMAT/CSIS Class Descriptions Web page at: http://csis.fcmat.org/Pages/Course-Catalog.aspx. All of the sessions will be held via Microsoft Skype Internet conferencing. The training material, along with instructions...
