- Comprehensive Data Integration: SOCRATES
can import any data linked to a student from
files exported from school and district
information systems, state assessments,
standardized tests, and other types of data
files. SOCRATES creates a
single fully-integrated database. Powerful data
verification and data cleaning utilities ensure
accuracy.
- Unlimited Data Disaggregation:
SOCRATES allows data to be
disaggregated in hundreds of ways to link data
on multiple performance measures with student
demographics, prior educational experiences,
current programs and services, learning
communities, attendance, discipline, grades, and
much more.
- NCLB Reporting:
SOCRATES generates data required to
fulfill the reporting requirements of
No
Child Left Behind, including information on
Assessment, Accountability, Teachers, English
Language Proficiency, Supplemental Services, and
Other Indicators. 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 reports that address
questions decision-makers need to answer.
- 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 district and external sources,
including topical bulletin boards.
The SOCRATES DATA SYSTEM is a
fully-developed system that is easily customized for
districts and schools. There is no
expensive and time-consuming programming to be done
by CRM or district personnel. SOCRATES'
ability to deeply disaggregate data allows
educators to answer hundreds of essential questions
about student progress and program effectiveness. It
provides the data needed to inform school reform
initiatives, address equity issues, meet
accountability mandates, and evaluate programs and
instructional practices.
