The annual NCEA Data Collection window is now open; please complete data entry by the deadline, Wednesday, September 26th. This is a compliance requirement for all Level I and Level II schools within the Archdiocese of Seattle. The Catholic Schools Department must send all school census data to the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) by Monday, October 1, 2012. Your prompt assistance is deeply appreciated.
To access the online Data Collection Tool, logon to SeeCelebrateAndLive.org, click MySCL, and click on School Data Collection (NCEA) under Tools in MySCL. (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
- New! Technology (Not part of NCEA collection until 2013)
- 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 blue circle ?-icon is showing, click to see definitions for specific items and categories.
- To see last year’s data for comparison, click on the small yellow folder icon. Move the pop up window to a convenient place. (Please note that the prior 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.
- Assessments. Last year, schools entered formative and/or summative assessment information as a baseline. Please review your selections and update if changes have occurred.
- Comments section. The comment section is only visible to school leaders and it is extremely helpful as fellow principals are seeking professional input from their colleagues. Your input is valued and appreciated.
- NEW! Technology. In June 2012, 53 schools responded to the CSD/Fulcrum technology survey. If your school responded and completed the survey, your local data has been imported into this section. You are welcome to update/edit the information to reflect any changes. This section will be ready in October 2012 and become part of the NCEA data collection for 2013.
