MMS Dashboarding and the Early Warning System

In 2013, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, inspired largely by the Frontline video “Middle School Moment,” began to explore the creation of an Early Warning System (EWS) to recognize trends in students’ attendance, behavior, and course grades that might indicate higher risk of failure in later school years.  The Pennsylvania Department of Education extended the EWS functionality, based on the Ed-Fi Alliances data standards and dashboards, to include an Intervention Catalog so that administrators and teachers might have easier access to resources to address student needs both in and out of the classroom. This intervention catalog contains locally curated resources that might help districts address a wide range of challenges, from homelessness and the effects of severe poverty, to behavioral and discipline issues, to academic counseling and resources.

Computer Resources/MMS took a leading role in the testing and roll-out of this project, recruiting over 20 districts to participate in the first cohort, establishing data-quality standards, and developing real-time web services to ensure that “early warning” means exactly that. We are very proud of the results, which are already being recognized by MMS districts across Pennsylvania and beyond.
