[RIDE] - Webinar recording, next week's webinar cancelled, and TCS Snapshot info (IMPORTANT) |
Deanna Raphael-State |
| Good afternoon,
Here is the link to this afternoon’s webinar recording: https://ride.webex.com/ride/lsr.php?AT=dw&SP=MC&rID=17472782&rKey=9138b7eaf96c3de5. We will not have a webinar next week (April 19th) due to school vacation.
Information and timeline for the TCS Snapshot collection:
On May 10th, we will begin the second collection of teacher-course-student data in order to capture a data snapshot of verified rosters of students for each teacher in grades 3 through 7 who is teaching an English language/literature or a mathematics course. This collection is a crucial step in the development of our Instructional Management System and Educator Performance and Support System because these systems will allow teachers to view their current class rosters with associated student-learning data on a day-to-day basis. It is extremely important that all district data managers submit a clean set of data by the deadline. The file format for the submission will be identical to the January submission.
The majority of questions during the last submission were regarding what teachers need to be included in this collection. RIDE program staff will be hosting a webinar regarding these issues on April 26th from 4:00-5:00 PM. We are inviting superintendents, assistant superintendents, principals and data managers to attend this webinar. It is important for district principals, superintendents and data managers to work together to ensure that the information is being submitted for all applicable educators and students in your schools. Please register for this webinar at https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/672312358.
As requested by district superintendents, we will be contacting teachers for roster verification through the district email address. We will need to work with you to get these email addresses; further details to come.
