How can or does data go onto the report card?

Check this awesome flow chart out!

# data[].attributes.body
By the end of the day, each user will:

Be able to build at least:

1 Student Group

1 Print Group

1 Value Scale

1 Value Set

1 Field Group

All Fields to the above Field Group

1 Report Card

1 Layout

Be able to leave the workshop confident in building the rest on their own.

You can do it!

If you want your teachers to have particular comments to choose from in a list, then there is some work to be done first.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Some things to keep in mind as you adjust Predefine Comments:

Illuminate does not have any translating feature built-in. This means if you add only English predefine comments in Illuminate, Illuminate will not on generate a report card for a Spanish student or automatically translate the English comments to Spanish.

Do you plan to build/administer other report card templates aside from English? For example, in District X, they give out an English and Spanish elementary report card. If so, you probably want Spanish translated comments to show on a Spanish report card template and English comments to show on the English template. Please ensure that for each English comment, you add a Spanish equivalent.

Illuminate does not support gender placeholder (ie. [He/She] is the best student in the whole wide world!) replacements within your comments. The idea is that with the placeholder in the comment, the system will replace the [He/She] placeholder with regards to the student's gender. Whatever you enter for the comment, is exactly what will come out on a printed report card.

Ways to group standards for quick and easy searching for teachers to link to gradebook assignments, assessments, and for YOU, report cards

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This lesson will guide you through the process of using Standard Collections in Illuminate. Standard Collections provide a quick and easy way for users to see a family or group of standards to choose from, as opposed to selecting standards from an entire standard set.

Where to Start

Choose a Standard Collection

1. To use a Standard Collection, use the Choose A Standard Collection drop down menu and select a Standard Collection.

2. Click Search.

1. Check any of the standards from your collection to link to the test.

2. Click Link Selected Standards.

Once linked, the standards will show up under Already Linked Standards. You may also remove standards at this point by selecting the Remove checkbox and clicking Remove Selected Standards.

Report Cards

RCs need to be final and ready for building purposes and should NOT be edited for the current academic school year. Changing report cards structurally or within Illuminate from one grading period to the next can hinder and hurt data expectations on such an official record for students, in addition to how data is collected in Illuminate.

Permissions

User attending and in charge of building need to have permissions to their own account or to the RC Builder/TestAdmin account prior to the training. Only System Administrators can assign permissions so make sure to connect with that person before attending.

Knowledge of Value Sets/Scales

Each grade level has a way that grades are calculated. For example in 1st Grade and 80% could be a B or 3-Meets Standards. In Fourth Grade, an 88% could be an A or 4-Exceeds Standards. Typically this information is already communicated on the report card, but just in case, it'll be helpful to understand those cutoff points for all grades receiving report cards.

Optional but Helpful

1. Steps 1-4 of the attached document. Although we will go over these components during the workshop, they are fairly basic and easy to have completed on your own.

2. Custom Reports for "out of the ordinary data" not tied to Gradebook or Assessments such as State Data or additional demographics.

3. If you plan on using Canned Comments where teachers select from a list as opposed to writing their own, have those ready in a spreadsheet in all languages you are supporting for report cards.
