Attendance Codes Attendance Assignment CODE KEY Present The corps member attendance cells default to "--Select--".

All absences, except for one, regardless if the corps member gave a valid reason are expected to be substituted/made-up.

Corps members should NOT incur ANY absences without reason.

Leave of Absence CM is officially on Leave from the program. Class Cancellation Indicate if your class was cancelled on a particular date for each student.

NOTES & HELPFUL TIPS Please save and archive all and other correspondence with corps members about their attendance.

It is highly recommended, but not necessary that you copy and past correspondence from corps members about their absence into a respective cell's notes.

Locating your specific sheet in the tabs ▪Locate the sheet tab that correlates with your seminar group, for example, “ELA Year 1” or “Grades K-2” These are sheet tabs

How the spreadsheet is organized ▪Placement information (You will notice first name and last name are in “frozen columns” so that when you scroll to the right you can still see this information) Frozen Column indicator

Other details in the roster information ▪The cohort column is colored coded by year (green for 2012, purple for 2013 and blue for 2014) ▪The top row contains a key for Corps Members of Concern (CMCs). ▪There are also columns to indicate each corps members assignment (math, ELA, etc), placement (the school where they will teach), the placement address, CM , CM phone, field instructor and MTLD (MTLD=TFA liaison: Manager of Teacher Leadership and Development)

How you know a Corps Member of Concern (CMC) is in your seminar ▪ Check your roster and if any of the names are highlighted in a red, that means you have a CMC in your seminar that’s on probation. If a name is highlighted in yellow the CM is on our “watch list (light yellow)”. ▪ There are also reason codes for being a CMC in the first column. ▪ The various reasons a CM is classified a CMC are: (Field Scores (F), Attendance in Seminar (A) and/or portfolio(module) assignment grades (P). ▪ Seminar instruction pay is not affected by having a CMC. ▪ We communicate this information to you so that you know if a CM struggled with their attendance or portfolio(modules) last year. If you start noticing repeated struggles, please communicate with us. It’s important to also communicate when any CM isn’t attending class or turning in their modules. This column shows CMC status and reason codes. It also shows CMCs on the Watch List. Red color indicates CMCs on probation

How to enter attendance in the spreadsheet ▪In addition to taking a paper record of attendance at each seminar, we also ask that you enter attendance data into this spreadsheet for each class. ▪Scroll over to the right to access the attendance portion of the sheet. You enter in this data These totals are auto- generated, you don’t have to do anything to them.

How to enter attendance in the spreadsheet ▪To enter attendance simply click the cell and pick the appropriate attendance code.

How to record attendance of a field instructor at seminar ▪If a field instructor attends one of your seminar classes type their name in and mark them as “present”

How to insert notes in the spreadsheet ▪Right click on a cell and click “insert note” to insert any correspondence/copies of s from the CM regarding the absence.

How to enter module data in the spreadsheet ▪In addition to entering module data into Chalk and Wire we ask that you enter module data into this spreadsheet. Insert Due Date of Module Select module status Enter module score

How to enter module data in the spreadsheet ▪The “total” columns to the right are auto-generated, you don’t have to do anything with them.

How do I save changes? ▪Changes made in Google spreadsheets are all automatically saved for you every few seconds. So, you won’t find a “Save” button anywhere in the spreadsheet. Once you make changes you can simply leave the document and all your changes will be automatically saved. ▪The one exception to this rule is in that it’s best not to have a cell with a blinking cursor open in spreadsheets when exiting the spreadsheet, because that can cause that specific cell’s data to be lost. Just be sure your cursor isn’t blinking in a cell before exiting the spreadsheet. Hit enter to prevent this. Simply close the tab or window to exit and changes are automatically saved

How do I access my roster at a later time? ▪You will find your roster file under “Shared with Me” Your roster will be in Shared with me
