7. Getting Started

17. Teacher Roster Verification: April 27- May 24 For each student: Set Student + Teacher Assignment to the proportion of the semester or school year that the teacher and this student were assigned to each other. Set Your % of Instruction to the proportion of the semester or school year that the teacher taught the student this subject. If another teacher or specialist was responsible for some of this student's instruction in this subject, the teacher's percentage of instruction will be less than 100.

18. Teachers may add their own rosters and utilize the new “copy” feature  Step 1: Select, Add/Remove Roster

19. Step 2: Select, Add Roster.

20. Step 3: Select “Test Name” and then the “option” “Add a blank roster” is utilized when there are no rosters on the teachers list “Add a roster that contains students from an existing roster” is utilized when there is a student roster in place and the teacher wants to use that same student roster or another subject

21. Teacher Roster: Essential Questions Am I the only teacher responsible for teaching the subject? Did I teach the child the entire year?

22. New Resource: Student + Teacher Assignment Sample: If the student (or teacher) arrives and begins on Day 16 of the school year, then the Student Teacher assignment is 92%

23. New Resource: Examples/scenarios  Samples include teaching situations when more than one teacher is claiming instructional responsibility for a student in a tested* subject regular classroom teachers and other teachers providing instruction such as AIG, EC, ESL, math; and reading specialists in team teaching, co-teaching, push-in, or pull- out instructional situations.  The total minutes the subject is taught should be calculated using the total minutes of instruction possible may be best calculated by the day, week, month, or year.

24. Scenario: Co-teaching  An EC teacher* and a regular classroom teacher plan and implement instruction for all students in a Math I course.  Process: The classroom teacher will claim 50% for all of the students in the classroom. The EC teacher will create a roster with all students in the classroom and will claim 50% for all of the students in the classroom (not just those on her caseload) in the column called Your % of Instruction. *Also applies to AIG, ESL, and other support teachers

25. Scenario: Push in  Identified students receive additional instructional support provided by specialists within the regular classroom environment.  The specialist(s) provide(s) instruction to specific students and may or may not engage with and/or assist other students.  For purposes of Roster Verification all teachers claim partial instructional responsibility for the identified students.  The classroom teacher claims full instructional responsibility for students in her classroom who are not identified for additional support services in this content area.

26. Scenario: Pull-out (Not during the regular instructional period)  A student receives math instruction in the regular classroom setting. In addition, the AIG teacher* provides math instruction to the student outside of the regular classroom setting.  Process: The first step in calculating the percentage of instruction is to add up the total minutes of math instruction possible.  The regular classroom teacher instructs the student in math for 90 minutes a day (90 min x 5 days = 450 min per week).  The AIG teacher provides 45 minutes of math instruction outside of the classroom 3 times per week (135 min per week).  The total math instruction provided per week is 450 minutes + 135 minutes = 585 minutes.  The regular classroom teacher calculates 450 minutes (her instructional minutes) divided by 58 5minutes (total instructional minutes possible) and determines her percentage was 77%. (450/585 =.77) She enters 77% in the Your % of Instruction column.  The AIG teacher calculates 135 minutes (his instructional minutes) divided by 585 minutes (total instructional minutes possible) and determines his percentage was 23%. (135/585 =.23) He enters 23% in the Your % of Instruction column. *Also applies to EC, ESL and other support teachers
