Agenda/Meeting Minutes:

Introductions

Model discussion

V0.7 Release in November 2019 (https://edfi.atlassian.net/wiki/display/TPDMX/What%27s+New)

Plans for 2020: V0.8 and RFC

Subgroups

Continue with technical subgroup

Launch 2 new subgroups – we’ll send survey/email to determine who wants to participate in which group.

Dashboards

Human Capital Metrics

Sign up to participate – Nancy will send an email/survey to sign up for subgroups

Other topics

New implementations – new TPDM licensees and planned implementations

  • Great Oaks Charter is in progress
  • University of Connecticut, University of Iowa, and University of Texas San Antonio are planning or exploring TPDM implementations

Ed-Fi Technical Congress – will have back-to-back work group/subgroup sessions. Tech Congress is K-12 centric, so won’t have a higher ed TPDM presence, but will use sessions to focus on dashboard and human capital metrics

TPDM Symposium planning – planning a 1-2-day symposium in Aug/Sept for TPP, SEA, LEA and vendors – sort of a mini-Summit

Discussion:

Question: Should we expect model upgrades every 2 months in 2020?

No, hope to have an established model in July RFC. Need to do v 0.8 to meet requirements for an implementation

Question: Is the ‘issue submission’ the same as the ticket system?

Yes

Question: Is there a plan to extend the model with credentials, licenses and endorsements for State level integrations? Does the existing credential reference within the staff domain refer to TPP staff? Need a way to transition from teacher candidate to license of in-service teacher.

The credential reference within the staff domain that could potentially be used for that use case. Please submit a ticket so that this issue can be reviewed. 

Work Group advised of new Ed-Fi Work Group: international work group to discuss taking the work beyond the US

Discussed TPDM Symposium in August or September of 2020 – September or early October is better for most people

Next Steps: Indicate participation in subgroup(s)

Next meeting: Date and time – TBD - A doodle poll will be created to establish the date/time for the next Work Group meeting.
