Where We've Been,

Where We're Going

With the SLDS Platform

http://www.gadoe.org/



This is the 8th year I have come to GAEL to tell you about SLDS

Why do I keep coming back?

• To gather feedback on how to make the system better for you

• To make sure you know the platform is not going away - you can rely on it

• To make sure you know what the latest updates are as we are constantly adding new features

Moving the TKES and LKES Platform to SLDS

06.02.17 3




Why the change?

Two primary reasons:

• External vendor issues

• Cost

06.02.17 4




External Vendor Issues

• Security

• Features

• Continuous Access

06.02.17 5




Cost

• $425,000 annual licensing fee

• Upcoming contract renegotiation

• More cost efficient ongoing development to meet the needs of Georgia’s educators

We Started With Longitudinal Data From the Districts

School District

Longitudinal Data

3 MEGABYTES OF BANDWITH PER SCHOOL

LDS Dashboard


Student Profile

Districts noticed we were missing some students so we added information From Juvenile Justice

Then the districts wanted some tools to better analyze all the new longitudinal data they had so we added the Instructional

Improvement System

Districts said that it would be helpful to give parents access to all this new information so we added The Parent Portal

With information so easily accessible, teachers were finding new areas that students needed help. Additional instructional resources were requested so we added the Teacher Resource Link

Then teachers wanted more information to find out if their remediation efforts were effective so we added the Growth model

And teachers wanted to be able to have formative testing inSLDS so the GoFar tool was added

Wait A Minute! Why Is Everything Starting to Slow Down???

So we partnered with our university system to leverage their statewide network called Peachnet to give every school 100 megabytes of connectivity funded entirely by the state

Next, principals requested our assistance with tracking their graduates into postsecondary so we developed the High School Feedback Report

Teachers like the idea of the test results data from GoFar being in SLDS so much, they asked us to add their vendor data into SLDS

Key Points about Georgia’s SLDS

1. It’s Voluntary - no one has to use SLDS

2. It’s Free - completely funded by the state

3. It runs on top of a robust network that is also free to districts

4. Training is free and provided face to face to accommodate school schedules

5. It is integrated with the districts student information system so no additional IDs or passwords are required to access the SLDS

6. Priorities for enhancements are set by the governance team which is comprise of district folks

7. It has all been developed in house so is designed for and owned by Georgia.
