The document discusses how various elements of education, including assessments, professional development, data, curriculum/content, and technology are interconnected and influence each other, like objects floating on a waterbed. It provides examples of several major initiatives focused on creating common standards and interoperability for sharing assessment, student, and other education-related data between different systems. The document recommends developing a long-term vision and roadmap for interoperability, addressing privacy/security concerns, and involving vendors in discussions of standards.

Riding the Waves of the Education Ecosystem
- 1. Riding the Data Waves of the Education Ecosystem Geoff Fletcher State Educational Technology Directors Association www.setda.org
- 2. A bit about me • Futurist – Possible futures – Probable futures – Preferable futures
- 3. The Age of the Waterbed
- 4. The elements of the waterbed • Assessments • Professional development • Data • Curriculum/textbooks/content/OER • All riding the technology
- 5. Assessments • At least 33 states online now with multiple choice • 2014 tests are more than automated items – Computer-enhanced – Complex, multi-step – Writing, writing, writing – Simulations
- 6. Professional development • On college and career standards • On assessment of those standards • On how to use data • Using technology to deliver
- 11. Resources • Executive Summary • Transforming Data to Information in Service of Learning: A Vision • Major Initiatives Table • Initiative Chart: Purposes and Beneficiaries
- 12. Polling Question How many of these initiatives are you familiar with? AIF, CEDS, Digital Passport, Ed-Fi Solution, Experience API (xAPI), GIM-CCSS, IMS specifications, inBloom, Learning Registry, LRMI, MyData, Open Badges, PESC, SIF Implementation Specification A. All – Thumbs Up B. Some of them C. A few of these D. Wish I knew more
- 13. Major Initiatives Name of Initiative Description Assessment Interoperability Framework (AIF) AIF provides a common structure to allow for the transfer of any data associated with assessment systems; including student and teacher information, learning standards, assessment items, results and related data across systems. Common Education Data Standards (CEDS) CEDS provides a common vocabulary and reference structure through a data dictionary and logical data model for data that needs to be shared across education organizations. Digital Passport Digital Passport is a tool that brokers the exchange of student data between states or districts to enable electronic record transfer as students move from one school to another. Ed-Fi Solution Ed-Fi Solution is a data model combined with a tool suite that streamlines the sharing of student data and also provides the elements of dashboards for use by educators to improve the academic outcomes of students. Experience API (xAPI) xAPI is a protocol and simple data format for sharing learning activity streams among systems to track student activities and securely expose data to other learning systems. Granular Identifiers and Metadata for the Common Core State Standards (GIM- CCSS) GIM-CCSS applies fine-granulated identifiers to the Common Core standards to enable them to be aligned to education resources, for use by digital content creators to align their materials to specific standards IMS Global Learning Consortium Specifications IMS content, application, and data standards enable teachers to mix and match educational content and software from different sources into the same learning platforms.
- 15. Recommendations • Develop a consensus-based long-term vision and roadmap for interoperability. • Address concerns regarding privacy and security of student and educator data. • Address standards and interoperability with vendors during the procurement process.
- 16. Technology • Devices • Bandwidth • Internal networking • Tech support • Yes, again, professional learning

- 18. Why Textbooks Matter • ACCESS: For 50+ years, represented best technology to provide standards-aligned instructional materials to students and teachers • INSTRUCTION: Treated as primary tool for instruction - strongly influencing curricular scope, sequence, and pedagogy • INNOVATION & IMPROVEMENT: Given rise to law, regulation and practice that defines the limits of instructional innovation and improvement efforts • COST: Represent a significant cost category in state and local education budgets

Notes de l'éditeur
- I started to make a few slides about why the current textbooks have this effect on students but I think we all know. They’re produced by large committees to be adopted by large committees and designed to have as little conflict or timely material as possible so they can last the 6-10 years they’re likely to be in service. It’s not so much that they’re dated as soon as they’re published but rather they contain so little that might become dated that they’re
