SDE to Offer the Next "Live Call" Training Webinar this Wednesday for Data Certification

Monday, June 10, 2013

This Wednesday, June 12 at 1:30 PM, the State Department of Education will host a "live call" training webinar for districts. This webinar is designed to provide training on the new Accountability Data Certification Reports that districts are required to complete this summer. This webinar will focus on Assessment Post-Code - which opened today - Historical Adjusted Cohort, A-F Advanced Coursework and SMART Reports. The webinar will be divided into short segments dedicated to individual reports to allow districts' staff to participate in only the segments that are relevant to them. In addition, during the "live call" webinar, districts will be able to live chat with SDE and Wave staff during the Q&A sessions for each of these required reports.

We will continue to send reminder emails two days prior to all subsequent "live call" webinars. Currently there are "live call" webinars scheduled to take place Friday, June 14th at 9:30 AM, Wednesday, June 19th at 1:30 PM and Wednesday, June 26th at 1:30 PM. Additional webinars may be scheduled should districts request them.

Districts must pre-register for these webinars. To register, follow this link and click the 'Upcoming' tab: https://oksdetraining.webex.com/mw0307l/mywebex/default.do?siteurl=oksdetraining

The State Department of Education has made available a District Data Certification Status report that is updated weekly with each districts' progress in the certification process throughout the certification window. This report is located on the Wave and can be viewed at the following link: https://thewave.sde.ok.gov/thewave/Portals/0/District%20Documents/DistrictCertificationStatusReport.xlsx

More information regarding the Accountability Data Certification Reports

  • Cohort Graduation Rate Report: The purpose of this report is to collect student-level data in order to calculate the state's Federal Four-Year Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate. This Graduation Rate will be used on Oklahoma high schools' 2013 A-F Report Cards.
  • A-F Advanced Coursework Report: The purpose of this report is to determine advanced coursework participation and performance for the 2013 A-F Report Cards.
  • SMART (Supplemental Membership Annual Reporting Totals) Report: The new membership report to supplement the October 1 count.
  • Assessment Post-Code: The purpose of this report is to correct student demographics and testing status in the Wave using data from the testing vendor.
