  2. Previously (February 2021 and March 2021) • We are in the process of creating as much of the report as possible using a synthetic data set that will mirror (in format) the data we get from Indiana • We are actively investigating data scenarios (e.g., low participation) and developing processes for accommodating • As we produce these synthetic reports we will review with IDOE staff to add additional features as necessary so the final report includes all necessary analyses/results.

  3. Updates • We are currently creating historical ILEARN/ISTEP and ACCESS baseline matrices with which to calculate baseline referenced growth from 2019 to 2021. • We are conducting investigations using simulated historical data to understand robustness to modelling assumptions. • We have a report template set up and are beginning to write the introduction and methodology sections.

  4. Data requirements (to discuss) • ILEARN data: We have a good understanding of this data and a process in place to get that data in a timely fashion • ACCESS data: We have a good understanding of this data and a process in place to get that data in a timely fashion • Interim Assessment data: We need to discuss what this data comprises. That will allow us to figure out what we need to run analyses and determine whether we can get those data. • Pandemic related data/OTL data: We need to discuss whether Indiana has these data.
