What do we do with RNN Data during a pandemic? (May 2020)
In partnership with the Data Hubs, the Reading Now Network has begun to collect benchmark data (e.g. NWEA, Star Reading, iReady) to establish a baseline prior to the pandemic. Our hope is to identify some of the most promising practices of districts through these challenging and uncharted waters. RNN Leadership from Region 3 and Region 7 has determined that our current "Networking Agreements" allow for such sharing of benchmark data. The hope is to create a similar, interactive graph as in past years with state level data. The one exception is that it will be password protected instead of posted publicly. Districts will be provided the password. Districts were able to opt in by completing the following RNN Acknowledgement Survey.
The newest iteration in 2019 RNN data in Tableau features the 2016-2019 RNN Data that includes the newer multiple regression that considers additional "at-risk" factors correlated to student achievement applied to the past four years. The two most significant factors included in the "multiple regression" was poverty and chronic absenteeism, district across the state are addressing attendance concerns (i.e. Strive for less than Five). The previous versions of Tableau for RNN 2018 or the RNN Data 2013-2017 that features the weighted proficiency measure.
Comparing Similar Schools on a National Level

The Educational Opportunity Project at Stanford University, (a.k.a. Stanford Educational Data Archive, SEDA), has created tools to compare schools, districts, and counties on a national level. Stanford uses state tests for grades 3-8 (e.g. M-STEP, PARCC, SBAC) to map to the Nation's Report card (NAEP) in order to create a comparable scale. The first step is likely to read the Chicago Story and then explore the Ed Opportunity site.

Reading Now Network Results are Promising
RNN Results in 2016: News is starting to spread: School News Network (2016) and McRel (2017). Following the spring test of 2016, Region 3 began to gain some statewide attention due to the differences in the "best fit" line of the region and the state as seen in the graph on the left.
