An Update From the Indiana Department of Education for August 19, 2022

DOE Header

A Message from Dr. Katie Jenner

Katie Jenner Headshot

Often as I am writing the weekly newsletter message, I find myself reflecting on yet another big week for education in the state of Indiana, but this week’s BIG announcement is unlike any our state has ever experienced.

Before launching any new initiative, the first step is always understanding the data…then listening to schools, educators, parents, community and business leaders, etc…and applying evidence-based practice to drive towards the best solutions. And, together, we have done just that.

This summer, we have gained additional insights into where student learning is today, particularly in terms of reading and reading comprehension, through both the 2022 IREAD-3 and ILEARN assessment results. From the data, we know that nearly one in five Hoosier students have not yet mastered foundational reading skills by the end of third grade. The repercussions of this are evident in our ILEARN scores, where without the foundational reading skills necessary to access higher learning, only 41.2% of Indiana’s students are at or above proficiency standards in English/language arts.

To address these challenges, we have developed a number of tactical solutions that emphasize the need for collaboration in order to maximize our impact, and this week, we took that collaboration to the next level.

In case you missed it, Governor Holcomb, our team at IDOE, and Lilly Endowment announced yesterday that we are joining forces to make a big bet for Indiana students with the state’s largest-ever financial investment in literacy. This combined investment from both the state and Lilly Endowment of up to $111 million expands Indiana’s commitment to support literacy development for Hoosier students using proven teaching strategies aligned with the Science of Reading.

Specifically, this investment will – 

  • Deploy instructional coaches to elementary schools throughout Indiana that opt-in, expanding the 54 school pilot launched this fall to about 60% of elementary schools (over 600 schools) by the end of the 2025-2026 school year; 
  • Offer stipends up to $1,200 to K-3 teachers who participate in professional development focused on the Science of Reading; 
  • Provide targeted support for students who need the most help in improving their reading skills; and 
  • Create a literacy center at IDOE focused on Science of Reading strategies and provide technical assistance to schools.

In addition to IDOE’s investment of approximately $26 million in ESSER II funds, Lilly Endowment has approved a grant of up to $60 million for these efforts, which help to equip our state’s current educators with support, tools, and the newest research on best practice for reading instruction. 

As we work to provide additional support for our current educators, our aspiring educators need our support as well. To that end, Lilly Endowment will make available up to $25 million in additional funds for Indiana’s colleges and universities seeking to prepare future Indiana elementary teachers to use Science of Reading methods.

Through this work, as well as a number of other initiatives, we are doubling down on our commitment to early literacy with a goal of achieving a passage rate on IREAD-3 of 95 percent by 2027.

As you well know, an impact of this magnitude cannot be accomplished alone. It certainly takes us as teachers and school leaders, and also key individuals outside of our K-12 arena. This important work has been supported every step of the way by Governor Holcomb. We are also incredibly thankful for our partners at the University of Indianapolis Center of Excellence in Leadership of Learning, led by Executive Director Carey Dahncke, the Hunt Institute for their technical support and expertise in leading instructional coaching, and key partners at the local level who have and will continue to engage in these important efforts.

This includes a big thank you to everyone at Anderson Community Schools – including Eastside Elementary Principal Dr. Val Scott, Anderson Superintendent Dr. Joe Cronk, and the teachers and literacy instructional coaches – for hosting us on Thursday…and for your district-wide commitment to understanding the data (where your students are today) and doing everything possible to make sure every Anderson student can read.

Having 95% of our students achieve a passing score on IREAD-3 by 2027 is our collective challenge, but it is also a huge opportunity. We stand ready to partner with you to implement bold, innovative strategies to support our students’ long-term academic success and the future success of the state of Indiana. Thank you for all that you do to ensure the success of each and every Hoosier student!

REMINDER: Cybersecurity Resources Available for 2022-2023 School Year

Cybersecurity attacks against schools have risen by over 16% in the past year. In Indiana, the top two categories of attacks have been business email compromise and ransomware attacks. Both of these threats are best mitigated by training users to recognize threat attempts and by adding validation checks. IDOE has free resources available to schools to assist with improving their cybersecurity in these areas. Licenses of KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training, Diamond-Level, and PhishER are free and available to all traditional public and non-public schools. This platform allows your team to create training campaigns using the included video content, allows for the creation of artificial phishing campaigns, and provides spot training based on end-user performance. Current subscriptions may be used this school year. If your school does not have a subscription, licenses may be requested in the School Cybersecurity Moodle Community. Invitations to join were sent out to the lead technology leader in each school and additional access may be requested by emailing Brad Hagg

 

REMINDER: Data Exchange - The Data Reporting Source of Truth

The 2022-2023 school year establishes Data Exchange as the source of truth for all data reporting. IDOE will transition identities as the source of truth to Data Exchange in late fall/early winter. At the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year, all school personnel numbers (SPN) and student test numbers (STN) will continue to be created in the STN Application Center and will be available in Data Exchange the following day. Data Exchange resources:

  • Data Exchange webpage
  • Data Exchange training can be found in the Data Exchange Training and Community course in Moodle (no enrollment key required). 
  • Data Exchange Knowledge Hub is for those completing manual upload templates, rather than connecting via a student information system (SIS).

Questions about Data Exchange may be submitted here.

 

REMINDER: School Actions to Complete SIS Setup for 2022-2023

Schools with an Indiana Ed-Fi Certified SIS Vendor will need to establish a connection between their SIS and Data Exchange. At the beginning of the school year, schools should be actively validating and reviewing data in Data Exchange for accuracy in preparation for the first September certification window.

  • A SIS vendor certification status list can be found here
  • Schools changing SIS vendors should send vendor changes to link@doe.in.gov

Additional information on implementation of Data Exchange can be found on the Data Exchange webpage. Questions about Data Exchange may be submitted here.

 

REMINDER: Designation of Security Coordinators

The LINK Portal is able to recognize all public, charter, and accredited non-public schools’ local Google G-Suite or Microsoft 365 accounts. IDOE configures the organization’s leader as the first account, and then this person logs in to designate up to two security coordinators, who are responsible for overseeing the setup of roles for others in the organization. All superintendents and leaders of non-public schools should log in to the LINK Portal and review/update their security coordinator information.

  • Instructions for organization leaders on how to designate/update the security coordinators can be found here
  • New public and Choice schools setup of the LINK Portal can be found here
  • If you are a new superintendent or the organization leader of a non-public school and need the first account configured, please email link@doe.in.gov.

 

REMINDER: Designation of Key Contacts

Security coordinators for all traditional public, charter, and accredited non-public schools are responsible for making sure that their organization’s key contacts for the 2022-2023 school year are set. These include contacts such as principal, superintendent, financial contact, special education director, and Data Exchange contact, among others. 

  • Security coordinator instructions can be found here
  • INview displays the superintendent for corporations/charters as well as the principal of each school.
  • ICHAMP (Indiana Complaint, Hearings, and Mediation Process) will utilize the following LINK Portal key contacts: superintendent and special education director. It is essential that these two key contacts are reviewed by security coordinators and updated based on any necessary changes. 
  • The corporation test coordinator official designation remains within DOEOnline for the 2022-2023 school year. 

Questions may be directed to link@doe.in.gov.

 

REMINDER: Graduation Rate

As a reminder, graduation rates for the 2022 school year will be based on data certified by schools in July 2022 and October 2022. Some schools expressed concern about the graduation data in the Data Exchange July certification window, which just closed. The graduation rate will be compiled from the graduate data submitted through Data Exchange for the 2021-2022 school year (July 2022 certification) and the graduate data submitted through Data Exchange for the October 2022 certification. Schools will be able to update their graduation records through the end of September 2022. This means any students who were not submitted as graduates by the July 2022 certification can be submitted in the 2023 school year (October 2022). IDOE understands the critical nature of a school’s graduation rate and is offering this as an additional clarification. Questions about Data Exchange may be submitted here.

 

REMINDER: SIS Vendor Changes

IDOE-issued Data Exchange credentials (key and secret) are tied to the supporting SIS vendor. If your corporation will be changing or adding an SIS vendor for the 2022-2023 school year, please email link@doe.in.gov with these changes. Your organization will receive a new set of credentials for your new vendor.
