What Set of data, reporting and identity / access management services for participating State Education Agencies and their districts, vendors and partners Challenge Connecting disparate student data to the educational assessment and content tools to make it easier for teachers to create personalized instruction maps for each child mapping to the Common Core State Standards. Benefits • Help teachers provide richer, more engaging and personalized learning experiences • Create new innovation opportunities for a larger and more diverse field of vendors and content creators • Maintain the states’ ability to tailor the program to their existing systems, preferences and requirements

Editor's Notes
- Deeper Dive. What exactly does interoperability mean?The common core suggests multiple paths to meeting the standards. If the goal is really to personalize instruction then there has to be flexibility to meet the needs of individual students while still working towards a common standard. The concept of the learning map is the key to enable this. The idea of the “learning map” is a little obscure and hard to grasp initially, but the best metaphor I’ve heard is that it is an instructional GPS. While the goal is for everyone to arrive at the same destination, students all start from different points. Based upon where their starting point is and how well they “drive” the learning map helps determine the right path to get to the destination. If along the way a student makes a “wrong turn” the learning map can help “recalculate” their route. The learning map uses a student’s record to align to their specific needs and proficiencies. It is also aligned to the specific details of courses and the wide variety of content out there that will ultimately be linked to specific standards. And of course, the learning map must be aligned to assessments, both formative and summative, and other applications to track students’ progress along the way and also determine the efficacy of the various courses and content.Here’s where the benefit of interoperability comes into play. As more and more students use this common platform, more data is collected and analyzed by these applications in order to strengthen the recommendation engines used to link specific resources to specific student deficiencies, and also to improve the courses and content. The interoperability that is enabled by having a common platform supporting common standards provides improved efficiency not just in the cost of providing services, but improved efficiency in our courses, our content, and ultimately instruction.
- When you look at school technology systems, much of what we’ve described as being the root problems has to do with capturing and making data about student performance accessible and easy to understand. People in this room are working on amazing curriculum and applications to improve teacher productivity, but they aren’t going to solve the root problem if they don’t all work together. “Out of the box” we are building the middleware that integrates and orchestrates activities across different state systems, components and applications, enabling them to interact. Using LRMI to enable metadata tagging, data from schools, districts and states as well as vendors, will feed a cloud-based data store. An open-source application programming interface (API) will enable vendors and developers to create applications and content that can interface with the Shared Learning Infrastructure, which will be critical to making this a successful development for schools.[CLICK] To help show what will be possible with the new access to data, the SLC will also build several applications including learning maps and dashboards to make student data more manageable and useful for educators in a customizable format. The SLC is also collaborating on the creation of a recommendation engine proof-of-concept to help educators identify the best and most appropriate learning resources from commercial and independent developers for any given student. Other applications to be built by (or sponsored by) the SLC are under consideration.[CLICK] All of this technology will be published to an open source community, to help trigger additional designed developments and improvements in the applications and technology.
- Start at 2:30 End at 5:30 (after math)This is to help with classroom conceptualization
- Show some screen shots of what is being done right now
- Show some screen shots of what is being done right now
- Flags can be attached to a variety of conditions to trigger a variety of actions
- This example shows a simple way to set honor roll
- Flags can be combined to make “aggregate flags”
- Conditional student grouping that updates in response to the data
- I can envision strategic classroom grouping in response to a set of assessment items
