Data Aggregation

Data will be collected by application number.
If your application contains multiple sites and/or pathways, you will need to consolidate your data and submit as one dataset.
If your Local Education Agency (LEA) has multiple applications, you will need to submit one dataset per application number.

Data Sources

Most of this data can be found in your Student Information System (SIS) and/or California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) reports.

Suggested data sources for each metric will be included in the data collection instructions.

Tagging GSPP Students

Option 1: Use a custom field in SIS to "tag" GSPP students by application, then query SIS for data

Option 2: Generate a list of GSPP students, pull CALPADS reports, then match CALPADS data to students on the GSPP list

29 of 38

Optional Resource

An Excel spreadsheet will be provided to you as an example of how you might go about tagging your students by application number to gathering this annual data.

Utilizing this Excel sheet and/or this method is entirely optional; you are not expected to submit the Excel sheet.

*** How the data is collected is far less important than What is being collected. Please use whatever method you wish to gather the required data.

30 of 38

Metric: Postsecondary Plans

The following will be collected for GSPP students Only:

Number of students who are planning to enroll in any postsecondary institution in the fall semester immediately following graduation
Number of students planning to join the workforce in the industry sector corresponding to the pathway program they participated in
Number of students planning to enter an apprenticeship or job training in the industry sector corresponding to the pathway program they participated in

31 of 38

GSPP Senior Survey

This is a proxy measure using what is available to us.
This is a Pre-graduation survey

Gathering data from students before they leave our system will yield a better response rate.

Data does not need to be added to SIS.
Raw survey results do not need to be submitted, only aggregate data.
Only GSPP seniors are to be surveyed.
Grantees will be responsible for creating and administering their own survey to their GSPP seniors using the platform of their choice. This ensures that grantees maintain ownership of their student data, and can use the survey data for other purposes, if they wish.

32 of 38

GSPP Senior Survey Draft

A document with suggested questions / format will be provided. Sample:

Which pathway(s) have you participated in while in high school? (provide dropdown list of the pathways offered by your site with multi-select option)
What are your plans for next year?

I plan to go to college
I plan to get a job after graduation
I plan to attend a trade school or job training program
I plan to join the military
I’m not sure yet
Other

If they select: I plan to get a job after graduation

Where will you be working? (open response)
What industry sector most closely matches the industry that you will be working in? (provide dropdown list of industry sectors)
Is this job in the same industry sector as the pathway that you participated in? (Yes / No / Unsure)

33 of 38

Reporting Postsecondary Plans

Whether you use a survey or not, regardless of the mechanism, the following must be collected for GSPP students Only:

Number of students who are planning to enroll in any postsecondary institution in the fall semester immediately following graduation
Number of students planning to join the workforce in the industry sector corresponding to the pathway program they participated in
Number of students planning to enter an apprenticeship or job training in the industry sector corresponding to the pathway program they participated in
