Agenda

1. Next steps following our September meeting with demos of data mapping technologies – next steps to push collaboration on this forward

2. Feedback from Student Information Systems on our collective performance with SEA data specifications

Notes

• Discussion of the problem we are trying to solve of sharing mappings and the ambiguity of a charter for the work

  • Drive agency buy-in?

  • Drive vendor buy-in and ownership?

• Importance of governance tooling as a way of presenting agencies and others with mappings while not embedding them in the technical details

• Proposal: get MSPs to agree on 1 assessment mapping as as a first step

• Discussion and agreement on difficulty to create a simple UI for mapping data (part of the problem solved by the ESP tools)

• Open question of if this work might forcing mappings on assessment vendors - is that OK?

  • One perspective is these vendors can contribute to those mappings

  • Another is that they should own the actual API implementation - that is the key step to having a voice in the mapping

  • Regardless: the concept is that we want them to be part of the community governance process that is being community-governed specifications

• A way to work with 1EdTech on vendor/product IDs from their registry?

• The agreed upon direction was generally to get the MSP community sharing mappings first, then think about growth elsewhere to other adjacent issues (like agency buy-in). On this, see actions below.

Actions

1. EA to share a YAML file for one assessment - NWEA Map Growth

2. EA to present a how mapping decisions were made for that spec, with discussion

3. (Ed-Fi) At the December MSP SIG, ask the questions:

   1. do MSPs like the YAML technology as a means of sharing mappings?

   2. do MSPs like the MAP Growth mapping provided?
