Key Features of the SOCRATES DATA SYSTEM for States
Comprehensive Data Integration: SOCRATES can
import any data on students, schools, programs and services,
teachers, and assessment results to create a fully-integrated
database.
Unlimited Data Disaggregation: SOCRATES
allows data to be disaggregated in hundreds of ways to link
data on multiple performance measures with the characteristics of
students, schools, and teachers.
Multi-Level Reporting: Data can be generated at
school, district, and state levels.
Extensive Database Capacity: SOCRATES can
accommodate virtually unlimited data variables and more than 2
billion records.
Browser Access: The SOCRATES DATA WEB
is a customized web portal with multi-level security,
allowing users to access data through a web browser without having
to learn software. The web portal includes easy links to State and
District Report Cards and other reports that support accountability,
improvement, and public reporting.
Resources, Guidelines, and Communication Links: The SOCRATES DATA WEB comes with links to valuable resource materials, guidelines for interpreting and using data, and communication links to state and external sources, including topical bulletin boards.
Fully Developed: The SOCRATES DATA SYSTEM
is a fully-developed system that is easily customized for
state education agencies. There is no expensive and time-consuming
programming to be done by CRM or SEA personnel. New variables can be
added at any time.
