District reports, interpretation & consulting

OSBA's DATA+ Accesspoint gives Oregon boards and districts what educators across the country have been seeking: The ability to tie decision-making to hard data that conclusively show whether students are succeeding in the programs they've committed taxpayers' money and limited district resources to.

DATA+ Accesspoint gives decision-makers the tools they need to evaluate, research, and communicate with parents and other stakeholders. With DATA+ Accesspoint you can compare and clearly illustrate the rates at which programs are succeeding, how various inputs affect outcomes over specific time periods, and exactly which groups of students are succeeding at what rate.

If assessment data show only that you "didn't meet" a state-set goal by a particular date, do you end programs? Redirect resources? Search for another answer? What if data clearly show students have progressed steadily - even if they did fall a bit short? OSBA’s DATA+ Accesspoint can help you answer these questions and many more.

OSBA's achievement research specialist, Greg Sampson-Gruener, can work with districts to use DATA+ Accesspoint to track the progress of individual students over time and through a variety of programs. DATA+ Accesspoint and OSBA's achievement research specialist can also conduct an in-depth data analysis for an individual district.
