## INTRODUCTION Attachment	A - 4	contains guiding	questions,	or directional indicators	(DI), used	to	reduce	burden	on LEAs.		It	is	organized	as	follows :  Overview	of	directional indicators  List	of	directional	indicators Directional indicators are	used	to	determine	whether	a	data	group	is	applicable	to	an	LEA.		For example,	an	LEA	w ill	be	presented	with	a	simple	question	asking	whether	or	not students	are enrolled	in	Advanced	Placement	(AP)	courses	at	the	school .		If	the	LEA	answers	“no , ”	then	the subsequent	tables	collecting	student	counts	of AP enrollment, exam - taking,	and AP	exam - passing are	not	presented	to	the	LEA. 

## OVERVIEW OF DIRECTIO **NAL INDICATOR**  **S** Because	the	CRDC	is	a	mandatory	collection,	LEAs	are	obligated	to	respond	to	each	applicable survey	question.	First	implemented	with	the	2009 - 10	CRDC,	directional indicators success fully reduce	the	burden	by	eliminating	tables	that	are	not	applicable,	therefore	reducing	the	amount	of time LEAs	spend entering	zeros	into	non - applicable	tables. As	OCR	continuously	improves	the design	of	the	web - based	survey	tool,	the	2011 - 12	CRDC in cluded additional	directional indicator s to	determine	whether	the	LEA	will	be	presented	with	subsequent	data	group	tables. Many	of	these	directional indicator s	are	linked	to	existing	data	groups.		For	example,	in DG932 ,	OCR collects	each	grade	offered	at	a	school. D ata are used	to	determine	which	applicable	grade - level retention	tables	are	presented	to	the	LEA	(e.g . ,	a	school	offering	grades	10,	11,	and	12	would	be present ed only with	the	retention	tables	for	grades	10 ,	11,	and	12) . However,	there	are	some	data groups	which	apply	only	to	a	subset	of	schools	and	this	subset	of	schools	cannot	be	determined from	already	collected	information.		For	example, in	the	2009 - 10	CRDC	sample, approximately 55 % of	high	schools	off

er ed Advanced	P lacement	courses.		In	order	to	limit	the	burden	of	responding	to data	elements	collecting	detailed	Advanced	Placement	data,	OCR	designed	a	directional indicator to determine	which	high	schools	(offering	any	grade	9 - 12)	also	offered	Advanced Placement	courses. These	directional indicators minimize	the	burden	of	responding	to	the	CRDC	for	LEAs	and	schools. The	following	list	of	directional indicators may	be	expanded	as	OCR	designs	the	201 3 - 1 4 survey tool. All	directional	indicators	are	desig ned	to	minimize	the	burden	of	the	CRDC	collection	to	the extent	possible	on	participating	school	districts.A ttachment A - 4 CRDC Directional Indic ators for School Years 2013
