Class Rosters and Why They are Important

Class Rosters are a listing of teachers and their assigned students for a given academic year. Smart Data is capable of accepting class roster data for as many years as available. Class roster information is normally stored in student management systems and can be extracted for a number of years depending on the system your district uses. The Manager of your Student Management System routinely conducts "extracts" of student data and normally will be the person you will need to contact to arrange for the extract of the class roster data.

Class Rosters provide critical information for Smart Data users. When made available to the MI Smart Data team and loaded into class rosters allow users to:

- Generate disaggregating reports by teacher (and sections when appropriate) either currently assigned teacher or teacher of record responsible for the instruction of each respective student.

- Use Teacher and Section Filters on both the Blue Screen (Student Demographics) and Yellow Screen (Review Tests) to identify students who are or were assigned to a teacher for the selected academic year. This is a very useful feature for users to narrow the field of students quickly to a specific teacher and section when appropriate.

- Supports the automatic rostering of students in the MLPP/DIBELS Data Entry Module. This file allows us to set up your class rooms by teacher for the current academic year in order to promote rapid data entry for MLPP or DIBELS observations.

Aligning Class Rosters to MEAP Assessment Periods

 Additional Technical Notes:

The MI Smart Data Class Roster should be formatted as a backslash (“\”) delimited file with all fields identified below.  Mandatory fields are marked in bold, but even fields that are omitted must be blank (no characters between the backslashes).  There should be one entry for every class of every student to reflect each student’s schedule.  In most cases elementary students will only have one record which reflects the teacher associated with their core curriculum (reading, math, social studies, science) instruction.  There may be 6 or 7 lines for a middle school or high school student depending on how many classes the student has scheduled.

Sample:
