Abstract

In this paper, we describe NERIC Connect, a Government-to-Employee (G2E) system for public schools, which is a work in progress. NERIC Connect provides teachers and administrators with timely, contextually meaningful information and automated alerts, which can be used to catch students before they fall through institutional cracks. The system addresses the missed benefit resulting from islands of data contained in disparate, independent computer systems. Relying on any single view of the data is not sufficient for effective data-driven decision making. NERIC Connect provides a unified view that results in school district employees having actionable information that can be used to improve instruction.
