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elementary) How to identify completion status for all courses and how to store that information How/whether to include withdrawn and exited classes Summer School Students and SIS Roll-Over Students in a class with mixed subjects (NovaNet, etc).
