Goals
- Define an initial Early Warning Use Case to use
Discussion Notes
While the goal was to select and define one complete use case around Early Warning System, we had
Early Warning Indicators our session was joined by a few Ed-Fi members that are not part of the group which lead to a good discussion on gaps on some domains and work by other groups that we could potentially benefit from. High level notes below:
Early Warning
Discussion started evaluating which Early Warning use case to start with, some brought up work from EDAM and Wisconsin as well as research available that could be used instead of coming up with use cases from scratch.
...
- There is a lot of data for high school, why don't we look into this and pick one sample and work through it. Start with the things that we know across the board affect students, after the MVP allow the schools and districts extend the model to tailor it t them.
- Identify the 3-5 indicators that would work across the board.
- Use the work of the Metro Nashville work as an MVP starting point. This group can take a look at what they are doing and release a MVP to the community.

FCPS Early Warning Indicator System Use Cases
Discipline
As the discussion on Early Warning, discipline came up as another viable option. For dashboard users the option available in the dashboard does not provide actionable data as it is mostly an incident list and not very granular and there is a gap on what is available in the market.
...
- Need to be able to think about local distributions so that school districts can take action which is where they can take advantage. At the superintendent level, they can look at 4000 students so there has to be an aggregate level in a meaningful way.
- At the site level, you need the ability to set a cut point. At the district level we need to see everyone at the same level. At the site level you have different resources to work with so it will have to be flexible.
- Nice to have would be to consider social emotional measures, at the district level when we talk with site administrator we always talk about life changes that are not being measured or tracked but have a big impact if it was made available.
Action items
- Billy Buchanan will share the work of Metro Nashville (note is a work in progress at this point)
- Lot of new faces, Itzel Torres will add those that expressed interest to the group
