How does data submitted through CALPADS ultimately shape a school's accountability results on the California School Dashboard? This session provides an overview of the connection between CALPADS data and California School Dashboard reporting, helping participants understand how student information and assessment results come together to tell a school's story. The session then takes a deeper dive into the Academic Indicators for English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as the English Learner Progress Indicator (ELPI), examining how CAASPP and ELPAC results drive these measures. Participants will explore the relationship between local assessment systems, interim assessments, and state accountability outcomes, creating a clear throughline from the classroom to Dashboard performance. Through this exploration, leaders, coordinators, and educators will gain a stronger understanding of how the data they collect and report influences accountability results and supports continuous improvement efforts.
