Attendees will leave this session with a complete understanding of how to measure K–12 cybersecurity effectiveness using the cybersecurity education framework and rubric explicitly designed for education. Key takeaways include the culmination of the Cybersecurity Coalition’s work for the past two years. You'll learn how to:
Attendees will implement their cyber-investigation skills by closely examining each cybersecurity domain-category maturity level rating and supporting evidence using the framework. Just like measuring academic performance improvement using an A–F grading system, this systematic method of continuous improvement for cybersecurity safety is a surefire way school systems will improve!
Need to tackle the daunting task of securing your data? We will talk through data security and syncing from start to finish. Topics include the usage of Data Protection Agreements, identifying high-value data, and using the ClassLink Roster Server to control the data vendors receive. You'll also dive into reviewing data-sharing rules and removing data for unused resources. Beginners to advanced users are welcome!
School's back in session, but let's return to summer for a moment! Learn how to think about error and efficiency in data analysis and why creating themes is just as important for sharing data as it is for rides at Disney or Dollywood. Join this session to improve the timeliness and power of your data work and presentations.
Gone are the days of manual user provisioning! Welcome to the future of automated analytics user management. In this session, you'll discover how Roster Server integrates with Analytics and CMC, allowing you to securely auto-provision your analytics users with just a few clicks. Join us to learn how to save time and simplify your workflow.
Learn why all data is not created equal and how to critically assess datasets and research for quality, reliability, accuracy, and transparency. Andreas Jones-Rooy will share four essential questions to evaluate any dataset, identify red flags in research, and adjust your interpretations. Join us to enhance your data literacy skills and learn to focus on the importance of data quality.
In this Think Tank moderated by Project Unicorn's Erin Mote, we will explore how school districts are preparing to roll out generative AI system-wide and create new policies to guide this transformation. Hear from educators and tech experts about the strategies and challenges, as well as potential impacts with respect to data privacy. Discover the steps being taken to ensure a smooth rollout and the exciting possibilities AI brings to the educational landscape.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the data landscape with multiple standards and sources like Ed-Fi, 1EdTech, and Analytics+? You're not alone! This session breaks down the silos and explores how to leverage them effectively. Join me for a dynamic discussion showcasing one district’s “hero’s journey" successfully navigating this multi-standard environment.
Schools and their vendor partners have long struggled with solutions to protect shared PII data—until now. ClassLink offers a revolutionary approach to limiting the amount of sensitive data shared, ultimately reducing risks for schools and vendors. It's a win-win for both parties and the entire industry. DataGuard allows schools to replace key PII fields with meaningless letter scrambles before sending data to a vendor. This year, we are introducing Smart Masking, the ability to keep a certain number of accurate letters at the beginning of the first and last names, while masking the rest of the letters. Don't let rostering protocols compromise your school's data security! Join this session and learn how to minimize the risks associated with data sharing and protect your schools against cybercriminals.
When it comes to learning analytics; start with the scientific method. This session shows how to transform educational hunches into testable questions through careful observation, question formulation, and hypothesis development using real-world K12 examples. You'll gain practical skills to convert casual observations into actionable inquiries. Join us to learn how asking the right questions can pave the way for more impactful data analysis.
Data visualization is a powerful tool for communicating complex information, but creating effective graphics requires careful consideration of best practices. In this hands-on presentation, we will engage in a “Chart Chat” to discuss strategies for enhancing the clarity, impact, and design of graphics. Then, we'll explore how to apply these strategies to a popular graphic.
