BIE Assessment Data Mart

Data Marts are stored collections of various student data records that districts and states use to federally report. Information stored in a data mart is uniquely collected by a snapshot and is a static copy of the original record. District-level and state-level users should follow the two-step validation and authentication process all data marts use to ensure the most accurate data is reported.

The BIE Assessment Data Mart is a collection of student assessment data that was previously added to the student's assessment record in Student Information > General. Data collected and stored in this data mart can be reviewed in two ways:

  1. Assessment Data Mart Report - information is reported in PDF or CSV format and must be generated individually for each school.
  2. Assessment Report (Ad Hoc Reporting) - information for one to multiple schools displays on a pivot table where data can be analyzed using drill-down methods, sorting features, filter options and graphs to summarize the results.

The BIE Assessment Data Mart tool is available in both BIE District Edition and BIE NASIS State Edition sites.

BIE Assessment Data Mart Logic

The following logic is used by the BIE Assessment Data Mart. 

Calendar:

Calendars meeting the following conditions are included in reporting:

  • Calendar is marked as BIE Type of I: Instructional
  • Calendar Exclude check box IS NOT marked

Student:

Students who meet the following conditions are included in reporting:

  • Student has a NASIS ID
  • Student is enrolled into an instructional grade level mapped to BIE Grade Level Code KG-12
  • Student has at least one reportable assessment

Students will not report if:

  • Student's enrollment type is 3: Public Enrolled
  • Student's enrollment is marked as No Show
  • Student's enrollment start and end dates are the same
  • Student's enrollment is marked as BIE Exlcude

Assessments:

For an assessment to report, the following conditions must be met:

  • Assessment must have Testing Window start and end dates. This is identified as the Start Date and End Date entered in Test Setup for the assessment. 
  • Assessment type must be either GEN: General or ALT: Alternate
  • Assessment must be marked as 'Report Via Data Mart'

Test Setup (Assessment) Requirements

Pathway: Assessment > Test Setup 

Before any test data can be added to a student's assessment record (where it can then be later retrieved by the data mart), a test structure must be defined using the Test Setup tool. Test Setup controls what data elements should be collected from a test, how they will display on the student's assessment record, and if the assessment will be available to the BIE Assessment Data Mart. For the BIE Assessment Data Mart to successfully collect and report student assessment records, the following fields (at minimum) must be defined: 

Refer to the Test Setup article for additional information and documentation about all of the Test Setup fields.

Test Setup (Assessment)

FieldDescription
Name
Required
Name of the test.
Code
Required

SubjectDistrict-specific subject area with which the test should be aligned for local tracking and reporting purposes.
Start Date
Required
First date the test is offered (or start date of the testing window).
End Date
Required
Last date the test is offered (or end date of the testing window).
Assessment Type
Required
Test type indicating whether the test is considered an alternate assessment, general assessment, assessment for EL identification or an assessment that measures English Proficiency in EL students.
Standards TypeThe standards type to be used in scoring the assessment.
State Test/State Code (Test Type)The code associated to a state-wide test the student took.
National Test/National Code (Test Type)The code associated to the national test the student took.
Example: ACT, SAT
Date on student assessmentThe date the student took the test.

Received Accommodation 

Indicates an accommodation was made for the student while taking this test.

Result OR Academic Achievement Standard

Result: results are defined per test and are used to locally categorize and label test scores.

Academic Achievement Standard (Proficiency Level): the Academic Achievement Standard is the standard group test scores are mapped to at the federal level. Displays as Proficiency Level on the student's assessment record.

If both exist for a student the Academic Achievement Standard will report.

Scale Score 

The Scale Score is based on the raw score converted to a scale score by an equating statistical process.

Raw Score

Raw Score is calculated by the number of questions answered correctly minus a fraction of the number of questions answered incorrectly.
The following fields are ONLY available in BIE District Edition and NASIS State Edition sites.

Data Mart Workflow

Additional information regarding the process and workflow of a Data Mart can be viewed in the Data Mart Workflow article.
All Data Marts follow a two-step Validation and Authentication process. By following this process, student data can be reviewed and corrected before it is submitted on for federal reporting. 

Data Mart Workflow

Generate a Snapshot

Snapshots are the student data collection method used by data marts to capture specific data points (first name/last name, gender, etc.) from various locations in Campus and build them into a data table. Student information captured by a snapshot is static and is not reflective of real-time changes. As changes are made to student information, a new snapshot must be generated to update the data mart.

For each school included in the snapshot, one data table is built. A school must have at least one eligible calendar for a snapshot to generate. This process can be done for one to multiple schools at a time, but processing time may vary when more than one school is selected.  

Only State Edition users are able to generate authentication snapshots. 

Generate a Snapshot

  1. Select Snapshot from the BIE Graduation Rate Data Mart tool.
  2. Select a Snapshot Type: Validation or Authentication. 
  3. Select a Cohort Year. If calendar year is 19-20 the cohort year is 2020.
  4. Select a pre-created Ad Hoc filter from the School Selection Filter. (Optional) This field is only available in State Edition.
  5. Select one or multiple schools. One snapshot will generate per school.
  6. Select Generate. Notification will be sent to Process Alerts when the snapshot is done processing. 

Consider generating new snapshots when:

  • New scores were added to student assessment records after a snapshot was generated and should be included in the data mart. 
  • Corrections made to student information fields are not reflected in the generated report.
  • A length of time has passed from when the last snapshot was generated and the final report is being submitted.  

* Snapshots can be generated as needed; however, a history of snapshots will not be stored and data from the previous snapshot will be overwritten when a new snapshot is generated.

Snapshot Editor Field Descriptions

FieldDescription
Snapshot Type
(State Edition only)
Only available for selection in State Edition sites. District Edition sites automatically default to Validation. 
This field determines the type of snapshot to generate and which data table to store it on.
  • Validation captures the records from the user interface and builds a data table. A validation snapshot is required before an authentication snapshot can be generated. After generating the validation snapshot use the validation report to review the data.
  • Authentication is a copy of the data collected from the most recent validation snapshot and is used for federal reporting submission. After generating the authentication snapshot use the authentication report for final sign-off and submission.

*Consider generating a final validation snapshot before the authentication snapshot is generated. This will ensure any changes made during the validation process are captured and all correct information is submitted for final reporting. 

School YearIdentifies the year the snapshot is capturing and collecting attendance data from.
School Selection Filter (Ad hoc)
(State Edition only)
Only available in State Edition sites.
Allows for the selection of an ad hoc filter to filter down to a pre-defined list of schools.
Use Filter Type: Selection Editor in Ad hoc Reporting > Filter Designer and Data Type District to create a school list.
School

Allows for the selection of one or multiple schools. Snapshot processing time may vary if more than one school is selected. Use the search field located at the top of the school list to search for a specific school.

Only one snapshot will be generated and stored per school.

Count of Selected SchoolsDisplays a numeric value for the amount of schools that have been selected to be included in the snapshot.
Select AllSelects all, or deselects all schools across all pages to be included in the snapshot.
GenerateSelect after all other required field selections have been made. A report is not automatically produced when a snapshot has finished generating. Refer to the Report section for further details.
Campus does not retain a history of snapshots. When a new snapshot is generated, data from the previous snapshot will be overwritten. Users may choose to generate a new snapshot as corrections are being made to various areas of student information. 
ResetReturns screen to original defaults.
BackReturns user to the BIE Assessment Data Mart editor screen.

Notifications

Users with Read (R) access to the BIE Graduation Rate Data Mart tool will receive notifications in their Process Alerts when:

  • a snapshot has been submitted. Only the user who submitted the snapshot will receive this notification. By clicking on the message link a small notifications report will display.
  • a snapshot (validation or authentication) has been submitted and has completed syncing. To view the data captured by the completed snapshot, a report must be generated.
  •  a report is available. If a user selected Submit to Batch Queue to generate the report (validation or authentication), a notification will display when it is ready to view. Click the message link to view the report. The report can also be retrieved from the data mart's Report tool.
  • an error has prevented a record from syncing to the state. The DIS Sync error can be further reviewed in the Error Log under System Administration > Data Interchange. 
    • Errors can not be corrected in the snapshot. If a correction is needed, it must be made in the location the data is entered. Generate a new snapshot to sync the corrected record.
    • If a record failed to sync, only that record is affected and will not prevent other records from syncing.

Notifications

Generate a Report

Generate a report for a specific school and school year to review or authenticate the student information captured by the snapshot. Only one school and school year may be selected at a time.

A sign-off page will append to the end of the printed Authentication Report. This will only append to PDF report formats. 

The BIE Assessment Data Mart report includes personally identifying student information including NASIS ID's.
