Scenarios: Level of Participationion
Role of LEA• Required: Send file of staff email addresses & PPIDs to
SAS EVAAS by a set date (following required data fields and file format)
• STRONGLY ENCOURAGED: Complete PIMS course attribution file BY March 1
This will reduce time needed for teachers to complete roster verification
• Participate in roster verification training Minimum of 1 district admin and 1 principal per school LIVE sessions or webinar
• Complete roster verification process using PVAAS roster verification web-based system and process
• Each pilot participant completes brief online survey about process, system, and supports
• Principal and District Admin MUST EACH complete their part of roster verification process for each participating school
Benefits: Pilot Participation “See and use” the PVAAS roster
verification process and web-based system before it “counts”
Experience the process, time, and resources needed to complete roster verification – allowing your LEA to more effectively plan for SY13-14 implementation - when it does “count” towards the 1st PVAAS 3 year rolling average
Benefits: Pilot Participation
SAS EVAAS/PVAAS vendor will mass create PVAAS user accounts for any staff included in the LEAs staff email/PPID file
Implement PDE Guidance to provide more accurate data that reflects your unique schedules or unique ways of delivering instruction
Provide feedback to PDE about the process and the web-based system
Fall 2013 Teacher-Specific Reporting released (based on SY12-13) will be a more precise indicator of measures of teacher-specific data for your teachers
