Where we are……transitioning between

old, sporadic data collection techniques…

…to one central, complete database.

We are expanding our database efforts to include information provided by the Connecticut State Department of

Education; including teacher’s BEST scores and K-12 pupil data.

Ultimate Goal: To have all Neag School of Education data stored in one central location on the Oracle server.

How accurate is the data?

TNE and Neag have implemented advanced software to ensure: Unique Identifier assigned by University PeopleSoft System Data is verified upon entry Cross-checking data is constant Human error is kept at a minimum

With so much information, how is the database designed?

The TNE-Neag database is broken down into several manageable modules.

Each module is built piece by piece, data can be entered from multiple locations.

Each new item of information is linked to an individual identified by a unique number, assigned by

the University PeopleSoft system.

Information can then be extracted about individuals

to produce clean, streamline, accurate reports.
