2011 -12 Clarifications / Questions: Staff Student Course: When a course completes in January, calculate the minutes as of January. When a course completes in June, calculate the minutes as of June. Minutes are calculated up to, but not including, the Reporting Date, regardless of when the extract is created. If a student takes both a January and June Regents exam, how are the instructional minutes reported? For 2011 -12, calculate the minutes up to the beginning of the June Regents testing date. No policy decision has been made for 2012 -13 on whether or not both a January and a June record will be required. How should 8 th grade students who enrolled in an Integrated Algebra course be reported? Students in grade 8 who are enrolled in an Integrated Algebra course should be reported in the Integrated Algebra course. However, there must be a Staff Student Course record reflecting the instructional minutes up to the Math 8 assessment date. (Please refer to item L 28 in the APPR Guidance which indicates that Staff Student Course information be based on the Math 8 Assessment Reporting Date. ) What is the status of the policy on the Exclude From Evaluation Indicator? Please refer to item L 14 in the APPR guidance. This indicator is still under review and will not be used in the 2011 -12 data collection year. ◦ For the 2011 -12 School Year populate this field with “N”. How should I calculate minutes for courses where period attendance is not taken? Please refer to items L 19, L 20, L 21 in the APPR Guidance. These items provide suggestions for determining appropriate minutes.
2011 -12 Clarifications / Questions: How is a class with multiple-meeting times reported? (If a class was set to meet period 1 on A day, period 2 on B day, period 3 on C day, etc. ) This class should be reported as one teacher/course/section combination if the teacher is the same for all session days. Calculations for attendance, enrollment, and duration should be a sum of all session days the class meets. If the teacher changes, an additional record would be generated.
