Editor's Notes
- #4 Today the focus will be on the Classrooms tab.
- #6 Taking attendance - Chair must not be greyed out. If it is greyed out the class is not in session
- #7 Single day attendance Student – alerts – medical, guardian, discipline, etc.
- #10 For any more training information regarding Power School please contact your NC Wise Coordinator or visit PowerSource
- #11 - Have participants log in now - Show My Classroom section picker – this is the ‘student set’ - Show roster - Show Classroom Assessment Monitor – if no benchmark available, defaults to standardized test – most recent - teachers typically see this web part, frequently turned off for administrators
- #12 Note- Schoolnet is like a shell all information is being pulled from PowerSchool. Anywhere you see a student name in blue text, such as on a report, you can click it to access the student profile. The Student Profile page is similar to an online cumulative folder. Teachers have a roster in the Schoolnet home page and in the Classrooms module that links to each profile. Show how to link to the student profile from the name in a roster or the Classroom Assessment Monitor. Also show the Find a Student (type-ahead) search field—search using first name last name or student ID Anywhere you see a student name in blue text, such as on a report, you can click it to access the student profile. The Student Profile page is similar to an online cumulative folder. Teachers have a roster in the Schoolnet home page and in the Classrooms module that links to each profile. Building block of all reports Demonstrate and discuss the available information on each tab of the Student Profile page Show PDF link (do batch print later)
- #14 Show how to pick a section, and the navigation options available Explain course vs. section – in Classrooms can look at 2 sections of same course together Show how to get here from sub-navigation Talk about teacher drop-down menu for principals Point out link to curriculum and past year sections, if applicable Classrooms and benchmarks dashboards work the same way—difference between two categories Expand a test—the best way to navigate to reports—these are the same links we saw on the Classroom Assessment Monitor
- #15 In this classroom report, results are grouped by standard; it shows how many students are in each score group per standard Materials and standards coverage Drill in to see names Try it out Discuss Times Taught and Times Assessed Will parse out results from open response items associated with multi-dimensional rubric Standards and Materials may be scheduled directly to the Lesson Planner from this screen—try it later
- #16 This report is available both at the school and classroom level. In this classroom example, the teacher can see not only which questions struggled with, but also see the most popular wrong answers Go to benchmark/classroom dashboard (or My Schoolnet) to get to item analysis Views – Low performing option, Current vs. total enrollment Section wide comparison Click on item - sometimes content not available Generate PDF to view printable view Practice – have participants identify a question that many students missed and speculate on reasons why
- #17 Year-To-Date option Switching levels—names may vary V15 note – multi-dimensional rubrics
- #18 It works the same way for standardized tests Can drill down to skill level IF score group results are available
- #21 Look at groups, marks, latest benchmarks Quick access to profiles Use to batch print profiles—demonstrate Birthday feature
- #22 Discuss a student group from the Item Analysis report or Standards Mastery report Only you can see your student groups Make notes regarding student instruction or progress Determine appropriate instructional strategies Differentiate instruction based on student needs View in the analysis spreadsheet Edit membership Comments Print list
- #23 Should have at least one pre-made column set available; you can also add your own columns By default, student set is the selected section – can override with student group If available, show running existing and editing Otherwise, start with creating Maximum of 25 columns Can export to Excel
- #26 Trainer–be familiar with what is available for audience Discuss how materials get in bank—source—NCLOR (North Carolina Learning Object Repository) Instructional Materials will be provided by the state (currently approx 7000 loaded) Explain suggested materials, if implemented Just click Search to see all available filters or browse available materials Search by subject, grade, keyword, standard, material type, and more Demonstrate external materials, if available, and explain differences – External Resources an be saved to My Materials but not edited. Demonstrate how to search and save to My Materials Sorting
- #27 Not only can you search for materials, but you can also search for standards and see what materials are available per standard Be sure to point out that you can only search for one level of the standards hierarchy at a time. Select which level in the bottom left. Use this screen to discuss the different material types—point to icons and discuss
- #28 This stays from one school year to the next. Filtering works the same way as in the Materials Bank
- #30 In the lesson template, enter the information identified by the required fields, marked with an asterisks (*) Include the duration (recommended because of the impacts on the planner) Align to standards. which can be from other grades and subjects Create content for each template type—but don’t switch If usign the district template, any attachments must be added as a linked resource later In the lesson template, enter the information identified by the required fields, marked with an asterisks If your lesson already exists in another document, you can simply copy and paste text into this template Any attachments must be added as a linked resource
- #31 Instructional units – Attached lesson plans, resources, and assessments Lesson plans – Attach resources and assessments This is the only way to add an attachment when using the district template Can pull from bank, My Materials, or create on the fly—new resources become separate material Show organizers in next tab Show how to view detail to exit and return to lesson through My Materials
- #32 Actions will vary according to your role and the source of the material We’ll discuss the submission process in a moment You can: Recommend an instructional material (similar to a “Like” on Facebook) View Related Materials – Will display any material that is aligned to the same standards Express test – create a pre- or post quiz using items aligned to the same standards
- #34 Submit to School then District the State. If none, discuss all possible options. Reference QRC. Once you submit a lesson: The lesson goes first to a school approver If approved, it is available to other teachers at your school and can be submitted to the district When approved at the district level, it is available district-wide If approved, it is available to all Teachers in your District and can be submitted to the State When approved at the State level, it is available State-wide It can’t be edited once approved, but you can make editable copies
- #35 Designated users have a link to approve materials. There is an approval alert web part that can be added to My Schoolnet.
- #36 Benefit – keep track of standards coverage (reference Standards Mastery report) Show views, scheduling events Copying, extending length Add note, attachment Printing options Discuss how principals can view (read only access)
- #37 If you can’t tell multiple sections of the same course apart, you can rename them. If time demonstrate otherwise just talk to it
- #39 If needed, can copy some existing resources and edit the local copy to be tagged for students so they can be assigned.
- #40 If time permits, give a preview of School & District Data
- #41 Use for individual or group practice. Tell participants to adjust scenarios to make them more meaningful, if desired.
- #43 This is the focus of this afternoon’s training
- #44 This is the workflow…. Note that #5 happens in School & District Data and Classrooms. Online testing, Clickers, Scanning, Traditional Paper and Pencil
- #46 <KEEP SLIDE ANIMATION> In Assessment Admin, test items can be created in two different ways. NCDPI have loaded approx 22,000 items (ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies a bank of items to start with. <CLICK and TALK THROUGH FIRST WORKFLOW – TEST CENTRAL to ITEM CENTRAL> <CLICK and TALK THROUGH SECOND WORKLOW – ITEM CENTRAL, THEN PULLED INTO A TEST>
- #47 ‘Layer’ filters to locate desired items, such as by keyword, grade and subject Advanced search options This is why you want to add meta data to items Give participants time to see what is available for the subjects and grades they teach
- #48 If items aren’t available for your needs, easy to build new items Refer back to quiz if taken All types supported by paper and online, some on clickers Demonstrate basic multiple choice with preview Note that alerts don’t refresh until page does – can ignore unless you need to submit – preview make completed alerts go away
- #49 Demo site is having issues so talk to it but do not do Size limitation – will let you know if too big Resize before pasting in
- #50 Can put text in window
- #51 Coming in V15 Something else for math teachers… Interactive manipulatives can be made available to students for online testing (ruler, protractor, compass) Manipulatives are enabled on a test by test basis Images in the test tunnels and printed test booklets will no longer be scaled down, this ensures image measurements remain as intended Each manipulative has its own button which will launch the tool NOTE: Due to a Safari 5 defect we are unable to support manipulatives on this browser, Mac users can use Safari 6 or Google Chrome Reference QRC
- #52 Users permissioned to create items for other users will see this screen when they save an item and have the option to choose who else will be able to see the item. Discuss use case for each
- #53 Suggest sticking with one grade and subject – invite participants to try out the features that apply to their classes (math equations, reading passages…) Discuss Demo best practices – use sample text doc to copy and paste
- #54 Discuss potential uses – Social studies adding Maps and Pictures, Math – Graphs and charts, ELA reading passages. Create with first item, when you create additional items link the new passage to them Add subject and grade, type Orientation – can change later Save or add new item Passage orientation is for online testing only
- #55 Contrast to scoring instructions – if you have multiple items for same rubric, worth building a rubric Will replace standard on item Lowest level first Can define a 0 level Reference QRC
- #56 Items will be submitted to school. Approved by nominated Approver. – Reference QRCs
- #58 In Assessment Admin, we can create two kinds of tests. Benchmark is a generic term that covers all interim assessments not loaded as standardized tests – might call them progress checks, baselines, minis, etc. Tests can be made required or optional for teachers.
- #59 Express test (With or without existing items), add passages manually Manual test – either from within item central or start new naming conventions Test categories – review If teachers have access to create common classroom, they also have school benchmark category – be sure to pick appropriately All multiple choice options Explain AKO option Score type Customization options on test: Numbering, cut scores, attach resources
- #60 How differs No passages Ok if no items Tip – request more than you need so you came pick the best options
- #63 Screen varies for teachers with no extra permissions Use to locate tests Point out recently viewed test drop-down
- #64 When entering dates, take the following into consideration: The dates must be within the current school year You can scan paper tests any time after the start date, even beyond the end date Online tests can be administered any time within the window, and even after if the window restriction option is not selected Remember, students can’t actually take the test until they are provided with the online passcode. The score date is the recommended date for the test proctor to complete and score open response items and scan test results Unless granted additional permissions, teachers do not have access to test content until the start date; however, they can print answer sheets once the test is scheduled Benchmark assessments created at the highest level institution are used to calculate Key Performance Indicators in the School and District Data module If benchmark KPIs are enabled, and if there are multiple tests assigned to the same grade level and subject, you may wish to consider coordinating the start date within the same window.For example, if 10th-grade students may take either a geometry or an algebra assessment in October, enter the same start date for each to include both tests in the calculation.
- #65 Schoolnet Secure Tester is not being used in the State of North Carolina North Carolina will have an option to share the test with their gradebook. Students use the passcode to access the test online. The code must be unique site-wide for each test. Scramble questions -Do not use this option if your test has multiple passages with multiple linked questions. This feature could hinder students by forcing them to answer multiple questions on the same passage out of order. Limit student test access to approved internet addresses is not being used in the State of North Carolina
- #66 Teachers can share assessments with PowerTeacher Gradebook when creating a test or after the test has been scheduled. Sharing tests with the Gradebook allows test details and student scores to automatically be added to the Gradebook upon saving, preventing information from being entered twice. Share Assessments with PowerSchool
- #67 Teachers can accept quick assignment (based on subject and grade level), choose specific sections or pick students Test admins can assign or recommend by course: Assign - teachers are required to administer the test Recommend to teachers – Select to recommend this test to students based on their course enrollment; teachers may assign the test to students, but are not required to do so Recommend to schools – Select to recommend this test to adminstrators who may assign the test to a teacher or section. Use the option to recommend to schools when you do not have sufficient knowledge of the courses at each school to assign the tests to courses. Will need to set up a test admin at the school
- #69 Which will you use Advantages and barriers for each Strategies – stations, rotating labs *supported models only
- #70 Will you print district tests centrally or at each school or classroom?
- #71 Don’t use username/password links here (or in Assessment Admin) if students log in thru powerschool or another portal
- #72 Reference QRC
- #73 Point out highlighting, hide, flag, manipulatives if applicable, test summary, timer Teachers can experience via test preview
- #74 Upload file is useful for results from 3rd party tests, such as clickers
- #75 Answer sheets must be scanned on a scanner attached to a computer installed with ScanIt
- #78 Point out My Schoolnet link is the ‘I’m lost, reset button What’s new Any custom links to materials Online help Knowledgebase in PowerSource – Mastery in Mins, Courses and documentation i.e. QRC’s DL if applicable
