About The EdPrep Challenge
Crocus designed the EdPrep Challenge to tap into the skill, ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit of our partner organizations to create and design an easier, faster and less expensive way to solve the problem of displaying EdPrep data from multiple sources for decision making and continuous improvement.
How much time will it take?
For the EdPrep Challenge, we are asking partners to commit around 10 hours per month for the eight months of the development and around two hours per month during the subscription period for feedback.
What data is needed?
Data Display modules: Recruit and Perform require a minimal amount of data to be loaded into the ODS. Data Translate will walk you through how to get your source file into the format necessary for the EdPrep Dashboard.
Candidate Enrollment in the EPP
Candidate Demographics (Race/Ethnicity, Gender, Etc)
Candidate Location
Performance Evaluation results
What do I get?
The selected partners for the EdPrep Challenge will receive a one year subscription to EdLaunch™, the EdPrep data platform, that includes Data Deploy, Data Translate, and Data Display.
How will my data be protected?
Crocus takes the security of your data very seriously. All data loaded for the EdLaunch™ will be kept in compliance of all required security and privacy requirements. The details are outlined in our participant service agreement. Crocus will also work with your organization to complete any necessary agreements required.
