How do AOI students fit into the process?• Online courses usually are open entry/exit scenarios

– Schedule the course as a FY course

• Enroll students with their own specific entry and exit date within that course

• Provide a grade if student completes the course– Exit type

» CF – Content Complete – Full Credit (K-12)» CP – Content Complete – Partial Credit (9-12)» CN – Content Complete – No Credit (K-12)

• Auditing option, elementary» SC – Schedule Change (K-12)» LS – Left the School (K-12)

JTED STC Reporting• Centralized JTED

– Report on all students served– Course Code– External Provider

• Satellite JTED– Member district to report students served– External Provider = JTED providing services

FAQs • What types of classes should be reported?

– Any course that includes student enrollments• How do we handle long-term subs?

– Long-term subs will not be validated against HQT if reported from the Provider Teacher 1 element in STC file.

– HQT department advises that if a long-term sub has been attached to a school for 4 consecutive weeks, then should be added to said school within HQT

• Is STC data the same as SAIS data?– There are similar SAIS elements represented in STC files,

however, this data is different. – Please see file specification addendum to understand

differences

Where should I be in the process?• Data submission window closes

your Student Information System?– Have you obtained SRM login credentials?– Have you submitted your first trial

submission?– Have you worked to correct errors?– Have you “sent to state” via SRM?

STC Data at work for you• Potential uses for STC data
