eTIGER Reporting Challenges

• Set up instructors access
• Merge duplicated personal (teachers and students)
  records
• Report service and home districts/schools data
• Unify LEA course schedule
• Assure data quality

14
eTIGER and EIS

• Merge as one data warehouse
• EIS for data collection/editing
• Data correction by LEAs EIS contact
• eTIGER mainly for reporting service
• LEAs EIS contacts assure data quality

Lingering Accountability Issues Federal and State
17
Standardization Issues

• Consensus and consistency across states in how
  the indicators of performance are measured.
• Measures or tools many states use to assess high
  school students attainment of challenging
  state-established academic proficiencies cannot
  generate valid or reliable data on the extent to
  which vocational students master the same state
  academic standards as other students.

18
Data Quality Issues

• Deciding which students to include in
  measurements for accountability purposes is
  another issue that is both inconsistent and
  problematic across states, especially at the
  postsecondary level.
• Many issues surrounding the accuracy,
  reliability, and completeness of Perkins III
  data.
