ISBE CCRI Setup
Menu path: Select Administration from the main menu, select General Setup submenu, select District District Defined, and then select ISBE CCRI Setup.
This page is used to set values where applicable for the Student College and Career Readiness Indicator (CCRI) Data collection. Use this page to set up Thresholds, Data Sources for Indicators, and Selections for Course, Test, and Activities. The ISBE CCRI Setup page is used for the calculation of the ISBE Student CCRI Data page.
Each Indicator has a Data Source selection that will allow you to choose the page that the download will use for the data. The data sources are:
Menu path: Select Registration from the main menu, select Entry & Reports submenu, select Student District Defined, and then select ISBE CCRI Data.
Menu path: Select Registration from the main menu, select Entry & Reports submenu, select Student District Defined, and then select ISBE College Career Readiness Indicator.
Since not all districts will track the indicator from the CCRI Data page, some prompts are not required, and do not need to be filled out. The calculation continues processing, marking those indicators as NR - No Report for that year. It would be common to have no settings for an indicator if the district is using the ISBE College and Career Readiness Indicator page.
The College and Career Ready Indicator (CCRI) is composed of multiple points of data. Many data points are currently collected (for example, SAT composite score and course assignments entered into the Student Information System [SIS]), while others will require additional collection efforts by districts. SIS has been updated to include the new data points. The indicator recognizes cumulative achievements, so data may be added to SIS at any time. Except where specifically required (for example, “95 percent attendance junior and senior year”), districts may include all years of high school to recognize data points, such as community service, “career development experience,” “dual credit,” and “consistent employment.” Information gathered for CCRI should be used to guide students, families, schools, and communities. Districts may want to consider adding recognition of CCRI achievement on student records and transcripts.

Students whose experience was interrupted in March, April or May of 2020 by COVID-19 related school and/or business closures or layoffs may receive credit on this indicator for the interrupted experience. The district will collect and compile the initial data prior to submitting aggregate “yes” or “no” data to ISBE through the College and Career Indicator Report. |

This is verified employment for two consecutive summers. Employment may be verified through pay stubs, timesheets, or a signed letter from an adult supervisor that includes the number of hours worked. Suggested consecutive summer employment may include a cumulative 120 hours per summer. Students whose experience was interrupted in March, April or May of 2020 by COVID-19 related school and/or business closures or layoffs may receive credit on this indicator for the interrupted experience. The district will collect and compile the initial data prior to submitting aggregate “yes” or “no” data to ISBE through the College and Career Indicator Report. |

| Community Service Hours Source | Use this field to select the data source page (ISBE CCRI Data or ISBE College Career Readiness Indicator) that the download will use for the Community Service Hours data. This is a volunteer service or activity performed by students to address a social issue in the community, such as (but not limited to) poverty, disaster relief, education, the environment, homelessness, or community wellness. The student should receive written verification by an adult, non-relative supervisor of the community service that both describes the services performed and documents the number of hours served. Service learning opportunities may count toward this career readiness indicator. The district will collect and compile the initial data prior to submitting aggregate “yes” or “no” data to ISBE through the College and Career Indicator Report. |
| Community Service Hours | Use this field to set the community service hours. The state defined value is 25. |
| Two or More Activities Source | Use this field to select the data source page (ISBE CCRI Data or ISBE College Career Readiness Indicator) that the download will use for the Two or More Activities data. These are activities, programs, and applied learning experiences that Districts determine for the level of participation. Acceptable co-curricular activities may include student newspapers, student council, musical performances, art shows, mock trials, honors societies, debate competitions, mathematics, robotics, and engineering teams and contests. Students may count extracurricular activities, such as sports teams and general interest clubs, toward the requirement. Adaptive competencies and Essential Employability Skills may be incorporated within existing courses or programs. These competencies should be assessed based on how students apply and integrate into actions. Multiple years of the same activity do no represent different activities – for example, multiple years of a sport, multiples years on student council. Students whose experience was interrupted in March, April or May of 2020 by COVID-19 related school and/or business closures or layoffs may receive credit on this indicator for the interrupted experience. The district will collect and compile the initial data prior to submitting aggregate “yes” or “no” data to ISBE through the College and Career Indicator Report. |
