Questions to determine the benefits you’d get with SAMS

Success in education - in whatever setting or scale - requires accurate information and timely insight to results, which is much more than just 'having data'. You need to be able to manipulate, compare and investigate the data across the whole organization in order to be able to address crucial questions.

How ready and able are you to answer the following, typical questions, for example?

DISTRICT LEVEL	Can we demonstrate improvement to our board and parents? How do we look under NCLB scrutiny? What should I know about our performance before I read the headlines in the local paper?
STUDENTS	How are our students doing across a range of measures? What are their individual and group areas of strength and weakness? Which students should receive interventions or specialized instruction?
FACULTY	How are our teachers doing? Which staff or groups are proficient based on prescribed State level measurements? Which programs are most effective or ineffective?
ASSESSMENT	Are classroom grades and formative assessments predictive? How are students performing, whether in state or local assessments, whether now or year-over-year? Can you compare students' year-over-year results across multiple/disparate assessments?
OVERALL	Do you have accurate demographic and assessment history by student? Can you research your data using a wide variety of filters (school, teacher, student background etc)? Would you like a speedy, pain-free and low cost solution to the overall problem of ‘too much data, too few answers’?
