Staff Employment

Staff Assignment

Staff Association

Staff Section

Expand
titleOur high school offers credit recovery courses during the school day. These are online and students are scheduled in a lab with a certified teacher that assists and monitors progress. In the past for staff employment, we had to attach a certified teacher licensed in the specific subject area to each section as a co-teacher in addition to the teacher in the room (ex. Our ELA dept. chair was attached to any ELA courses offered). What's the best way to submit this to Data Exchange?

If the staff monitoring the classroom and associated to the credit recovery course is not licensed in the area of each student's course they are taking online, that's ok for reporting the data to IDOE. The medium of instruction will indicate this is a online-taught course.

Expand
titleOur SIS does not current support sending across Staff Data. If we have a change to staff during the year, what should we do?

You need to submit a Staff Enrollment Template (010) as changes are staff are made throughout the year.

Staff should be identified accurately for each section (class) they are associated with.

Expand
titleCan you have multiple Certified Position Descriptors for a teacher?

Yes, staff may have and need more than one staff classification (role) assigned to have access to all IDOE platforms or receive communication from IDOE.

Expand
titleDo we report substitute teachers to IDOE?

Not for a short period of substitute teaching. The only case that IDOE would ask for that data if a substitute were taking a position that would last the duration of the course. IDOE is not looking for those staff that are in the class for a day or two, floats, etc.

Expand
titleHow should adjunct faculty be reported to IDOE?

Currently, a classification is planning to be added for this. Documentation will be forthcoming from IDOE.

Expand
titleWe have a teacher who also teaches in another building in our district. How should this be reported?

The LEA that holds the contract will provide this information and the Ed Org where the staff are working only needs to provide the staff assignment and/or staff section data as required.

Expand

You should update staff employment data once a year for October certification and this data will remain in place for July certification. Only provide data throughout the year if there are changes needed or new staff employment to be provided.

Expand
titleWe have several staff that were not reported when Staff Employment was first submitted. Do we add those to the spreadsheet we submitted and submit it again or is the best practice to set up a new spreadsheet with only the new staff members?

This is a local decision. You may upload the data either by adding to the original template and upload again or create a new template with only those employees that have not been reported.

Expand
titleWhat does CE mean?

CE, or Certified Employment, is an archaic term in Data Exchange. It has been replaced by the term "Staff Employment".

Expand
titleHow do I update IDOE via templates when there is a change to a staff members' salary?

When there is a change to a staff members' salary, updates can be sent to IDOE via the Template for Staff Employment.

Expand
titleWe have a new staff member who taught for time outside of the state of Indiana. How many years should we include for their years of experience?

Years of experience in Indiana is what should be provided. IF a teacher needs the correct years of service they have for Indiana they will need to reach out to TERF (retirement fund).

Staff Assignment

Expand
titleDo we need to update our Key Contacts and Staff Classifications each year?

Expand
titleWe have several staff that were not reported when Staff Employment was first submitted. Do we add those to the spreadsheet we submitted and submit it again or is the best practice to set up a new spreadsheet with only the new staff members?

This is a local decision. You may upload the data either by adding to original template an upload again or create a new template with only those employees that have not been reported. An exit date to the employee record should be added when the staff is no longer employed or under contract at the corp/school - this will end their access to the link portal and all DOE applications.

titleTo submit Credit Recovery grades on Template 029_StudentTranscript template, do we need to upload any other template? Because the Term column on 029 template is required and has a note that states "The term must match the term provided on the student section association template(020)". Since CR grades don't have any section id associated with them do we need to add a section for teachers associated with these grades in our SIS?

Using template 029 to report those students not scheduled accurately or school is not able to provide staff and student section data may report any term that already exists from their calendar information - most schools have a Fall Semester, Spring Semester, or Year Round; if high school courses are being submitted most would use Fall Semester to provide the first outcome of the course and Spring Semester to provide the second outcome of the course; otherwise if using Year Round make sure to provide a SUM of the credits earned if reporting for both semester outcomes. And yes, you would need to add a section for teachers associated with those grades in your SIS.

Expand
