Preparing for TSDL MiCase SIS System
Agenda • Philosophy of TSDL • Challenges Involved • Documentation Available • Preparation Steps • Generating Files
Philosophy of TSDL • Report performance information for each class a student takes, linked to the teacher • Report the information in a consistent manner across all districts • Report the information as an “end of year” snapshot • CEPI will consolidate information and send back to districts for use in evaluations
Challenges Involved • Entry of Subject Codes, Course Codes, Course Types, Virtual Courses and Mentor Status • Entry of PIC codes for all teachers • Gathering course and grade information for all grade levels (especially elementary) • How to identify completion status for all courses and how to store that information • How/whether to include withdrawn and exited classes • Summer School Students and SIS Roll-Over • Students in a class with mixed subjects (NovaNet, etc).
Documentation Available • CEPI Website (www.mi.gov/cepi) • Component specifications • NCES Code Documents • Training Videos • MiCase Website (www.mi-case.org), Support>MiCase Student Information • TSDL Reporting from MiCase SIS and Field Mapping • This PowerPoint and pending Video Recording
Preparation Steps • Enter PIC codes for all teachers in the Modules>School Administration>Teachers Information screen. • Enter NCES Subject Codes, NCES Course Codes, and Course Types in the Modules>Grading>Grading Course File screen. • Operation to default course type to 01 regular • Enter Virtual Course and Mentor Teacher fields in the Modules>Grading>Grading Master Screen • If you have not entered scheduling grades, use Operations>Update/Change Operations>Enter Scheduling Grades to enter scheduling grades • Change scheduling grade to current for “retained” students
Preparation Steps • Where will course information be pulled from • Transcript Screen • Allows for grade information to be reported • Completion status added here and other fields can be tweaked here • Elementary course information may not be transferred • Student Schedule • May be needed for elementary • Grade available here, but may not be populated • Completion status based on grade or scheduling grade level • Could be used for withdrawn courses
Generating Files • New screen created to handle TSDL – Modules>MSDL>Teacher Student Data Link • Operations>Load Teacher Student Data Link from SIS (to populate screen) • A section for each component • Operations>Export Teacher Student Link 2010-2011 to an XML Format • Ability to read an XML and clear the holding area also • Planning not to run End of School Year procedures until TSDL submission completed
