School Data Collection (NCEA)

Dear Schools Leaders,

The annual NCEA Data Collection is due for completion by Friday, October 7, 2011. To access the online Data Collection Tool, logon to SeeCelebrateAndLive.org, click the Principal Area, and click on School Data Collection (NCEA) under Tools in the Principal Area. (Or direct link: http://www.seecelebrateandlive.org/school-data/edit.php)

The School Data Collection Tool is organized by tabs with the following topics/chapters:

• School Info
• Enrollment
• Faculty
• Budget
• Instructional Materials
• Assessments
• Completion Status

Please note:

• Save as you go! A Save button is at the bottom of each page. Data entry can be done over time.
• When the ?-icon () is showing, click to see definitions for specific items and categories.
• To see last year’s data for comparison, click on the folder icon (). Move the pop up window to a convenient place. (Please note that last year’s numeric data is closed and cannot be edited.)
• Instructional Materials. Last year, schools entered textbook and instructional materials information to create an online resource; this year, please update your instructional materials. A new field is available to identify the author(s), if desired. Also it is now possible to identify media: e-books and CD/ DVDs. Any current item can be edited by clicking the pencil icon in the Action column. Items can be deleted by clicking the X icon in the Action column. We value your comments as other school leaders are grateful for your input/feedback.
• New SCL Employee Portfolio System. You can now edit some basic employee data by accessing the Principal Area. We hope to have full Employee accounts set up for online login and editing by October 31^st. For example, if you want to give a staff member permission to edit school data, you can now assign that Role to an employee. To accomplish this, please follow the steps below:

• Go to the Principal Area and click on Catholic Schools Personnel Database.
• Click on the Username of the staff member.
• Click on the pencil icon to begin editing.
• Under Role, check the box for School Data Editor-No Salary.
• Click Save at the bottom of the page.
• Note: As Principal, you also have the ability to change a staff username and password.
