Major Outcomes:

Colorado's Longitudinal Education Data Action Plan (LEAP) builds upon the foundation of our statewide student record system begun in 2002. Three major initiatives of LEAP aim to expand the current Data Warehouse, automate transcript and student data transfer among education agencies, and rapidly expand access to student-level data analysis and reporting.

• Data Warehouse Expansion:
  • Immediate expansion needs:
    • Longitudinal projections and detailed student-level analysis (i.e. based on past 3 years of scores, student projects to be 'proficient' in reading by 10th grade);
    • Graduation/Drop-out data (student level);
    • Migrant/Homeless data (student level);
    • Teacher Statistics/Licensure (teacher level detail); and
    • Special Education (student level).
  • Automation of Federal Data Submission Files.
  • Creation of Comprehensive Data Dictionary.
• Automate Transcript/Student Data transfer between local education agencies and between local education agencies and higher-education.
• Rapid expansion of Local Data Analysis and Reporting:
  • Wider access to data reporting/analysis; and
  • Professional Development/Training Opportunities.
