The Office
of Accountability and Assessment manages data analysis for the District. Data is
used to make instructional decisions, evaluate District programs, and plan for
future years. The data analyzed includes PSSA scores, 4Sight Benchmark
Assessments scores, enrollment
data, attendance data, and demographic data. The Office of Accountability
and Assessment coordinates the administration of standardized tests,
particularly the PSSA and 4Sight. In addition, the Office of
Accountability and Assessment coordinates all research projects ongoing in the
District and also manages the Allentown School District's newly implemented data
warehouse. Both sites are restricted and password protected to ASD staff members
only.
With the passage of
the No Child Left Behind legislation, data analysis has played an even
larger role in District planning. The Office of
Accountability and Assessment analyzes Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) data and assists in
accountability planning. School and District Report Cards are generated for
release to the community on an annual basis.
The use of the pie
chart is to represent that Data will provide the missing piece to the Decision
making puzzle.
