Once the student data is securely in the Static Student Info.aps database, Teachers need to be included for each record.
	Selecting Teachers Responsible for Assessment I'm sorry to say that there is no easy way to select teachers, but we've tried to make it as painless as possible. Start by clicking on the Select Teachers button on the right in the Entry screen. When you first open this screen, there will be no teachers listed. To add or subtract from your teacher list, you will have to click the button "Edit Teacher List" located at the bottom left of the screen. That will take you to another screen.
Create a list of Assessment Teachers. This is the screen to create a list of teachers who will assess the students in the Standards. To add a teacher click on the button named "Add a Teacher". Remember to type the first name in the "first" field and the last name in the "last" field. (Include the subject for later changes. If the subject is not listed, when you get to that field, hit the backspace and type in the name you want to assign for the class subject.) To delete a teacher click first on the teacher to be deleted, then click on the "Delete a Teacher" button. When you have completed the teacher list, click on the button named "Make Teacher Copy". Then click on the "Done Button." You will be whisked back to the "Select a Teacher" screen.
With Teachers already in your list, you will now be able to select teachers that correspond to the individual student or to an alternate method using full classes.
First Method: Individual Method Show all records. (button at the bottom of the screen) Start at desired grade and type in the class name. i.e. 4A and 4B or 4-1 and 4-2. Click on first open field under Teacher 1. A list of your assessment teachers should appear. Click on the teacher selected for this child. Move to the next blank field and repeat the process if another teacher will be involved in this students assessment. When finished with this child, move to the next one repeating the steps above.
Second Method: Group Method If you follow this process, you will be able to save yourself a lot time in preparing the database for collecting assessment data. The process is in the form of buttons along the bottom of the Teacher Selection screen. However, this process requires great attention. Although it could save a lot of time, if you are not careful, it's possible to corrupt the Teacher assignments which would make you redo the data that gets corrupted. There is little protection from doing the wrong thing by mistake. So pay attention to detail.
Step 1 Find Grade - - Click on the button and you'll see another screen asking you to put the grade (number) that you are going to assign the teacher to. The Find feature pauses until you insert a grade number and click on continue. Then it brings you back to the previous layout with all the records for that particular class. Step 2 Find Selected - - Before you click on the next button "Find Selected", you must first select those that share a teacher. On the left side of each record you see a box. If you click on the box that will tell you that the record is selected. Go through the grade and select those that are in the class that shares the same teacher. For example, if there are two first grades, first find all 1st graders and then select those that are in one of the 1st grades by clicking on each of the boxes clear to the left that selects the record. After all students in that class are selected, then click on "Find Selected". Step 3 Add to Group - - Go to the first record and click on Class name. Once there type in the name of this class that's sharing the teacher. Could be something like 4-A or 4-B. Then click on Add to Group Then click on the open field under Teacher1, selecting the appropriate teacher. Once the teacher's name appears in the box, then double click on that name. With the curser in the name of the teacher, click on the "Add to Group" button. (The name should then appear in each of the records where before there was nothing.) Step 4 Deselect all - - To finish the process click on the "Deselect all" button. All Students will be found and deselected ready for you to put in the next class. Step 5 Repeat this process until all students have been identified with a teacher(s) and class name. There is room for 4 teachers right now. It could be one for reading, one for writing, one for speaking and one for listening. I know that the same teacher may teach all these. Then the extra fields could be for those that teach math, science or one of the other assessments that will take place in the future. When you've completed the process, you can go back to data entry by clicking on the last button named "Back to Data Entry". Congratulations, you've completed the process of preparing the Static Student Info.aps. Next step, choosing the Assessment Tools to be used for each standard. Click on the T in the bottom left of the navigation box to be transported to the Assessment Tools.aps database.
