FAQs from PILOT Teacher Specific Reporting Sessions What constitutes a “gap year” in reporting for 3-year rolling average? How is score on rating form (0-3) determined if teacher has more than one report in a single year? How do we determine % Instructional Responsibility (or, % Student + Teacher Enrollment and % Full/Partial Instruction)?

FAQs from PILOT Teacher Specific Reporting Sessions Is the district responsible for correcting the “overclaiming” students if this happens across schools? Across districts? Do teachers that know they will have less than 11 students still need to participate in roster verification and “roster” their students? Do I still need to “roster” a student even if I know they will not be included in the analysis and reporting?

FAQs from PILOT Teacher Specific Reporting Sessions Lots of questions still exist regarding account management –Many LEAs still not aware that teachers need a school-user account NOT a district-user account to access roster verification and teacher-specific reporting.
