TSDL – Teacher Student Data Linkage Teacher-Student Roster Verification Report User Guide:

http://www.p12.nysed.gov/irs/teacher/UserGuide.pdf To receive a file of PINs for teachers, districts must first report appropriate staff,

student, and course data to the Student Information Repository System (SIRS). Once these data are reported, a unique PIN will be generated for each teacher reported as assigned to a course section in which students are enrolled. When new teachers are added to the data, a PIN will be generated.

Tips for linking courses – From the FAQ document at http://www.p12.nysed.gov/irs/courseCatalog/FAQs.pdf

We have a class of 11th grade students who are taking a course named Honors/College English where the curriculum doesn't match their regular 11th grade English course. These students will take the Regents Examination in Comprehensive English in June. Should the Honors/College English course be mapped to the English/Language Arts III state course code (01003)?

Yes. If a course leads to the Regents Examination in Comprehensive English, State course code 01003 must be used. There are no exceptions for coding courses that lead to State exams. It does not matter what the local course is called. If it leads to the Examination in Comprehensive English, course code 01003 must be used.

Note: Students taking AP Courses (i.e. World and US History), that will be taking both the AP and the Regents exam (i.e. Global History) should be mapped to the State Course code for the Regents (i.e. 04052)

Some courses are taught in two parts over two years (e.g., Global History): Part 1 in year one and Part 2 the next year. After the students complete Part 2, they take the State exam. Which course should be linked to the State course code?

Only the year two (Part 2) course should be linked to the State exam. The Part 1 course should not be mapped to the State exam code but should be mapped to the course code that best matches the instruction/curriculum taught.

Student Class Grade Detail: Credit Recovery: Y or N

use only for classes that occur during summer school term when graduation credit is earned

Online Classes Information can be found in the APPR Guidance, Q. M33:http://www.engageny.org/sites/default/files/resource/attachments/appr-field-guidance.pdf

M33. How should I report online courses used to grant high school credit?

NYSED regulations require the granting district to ensure that instruction in online/blended learning courses in which students earn high school credits used toward graduation requirements be provided by or under the direction and/or supervision of a teacher certified in the subject area of instruction. Such courses must provide regular and substantive interaction between students taking the course and the certified teacher. Refer to Section 100.5(d)(10) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education to ensure any online courses you report meet all other requirements….

For the purposes of APPR and TSDL, a teacher providing instruction or directing/supervising instruction would be the Teacher of Record. Districts, BOCES, and charter schools responsible for teachers serving in this role should report them with Staff Student Course records linking them to the students they are assigned to instruct or supervise.

Homebound (Home-Tutored) StudentsSIRS Manual – Pg. 43-44

Homebound students (also known as home-tutored students) fall into two categories:

a) students who remain enrolled in a school but are provided temporary instruction in the home Must be reported with the BEDS code of the school in which the

student is officially enrolled as their location code.

b) students who are unable to attend school for the remainder of the school year because of a physical, mental, or emotional illness or injury substantiated by a licensed physician or, for students with disabilities, are placed in homebound instruction by the CSE and are instructed at home or in a hospital by a tutor provided by the district of responsibility. Must be reported with the first eight digits of their district code

followed by 0777 as their building of location code.

(See SIRS Manual - Table of Reporting Responsibility for School-Age Students.)

NYSITELL

Effective February 1, 2014, a new State test, the New York State Identification Test for English Language Learners (NYSITELL) will take the place of the LAB–R test currently used for the statewide identification of ELLs. NYSITELL will be based on, and be similar to, the New York State English as a Second Language Achievement Test (NYSESLAT), but abbreviated in length. The NYSITELL will replace the Language Assessment Battery–Revised (LAB–R) as the approved means of initially identifying ELLs in New York State

Any schools that have unused LAB–R materials remaining from the 2012–13 school year may use them until January 31, 2014. Schools that have some LAB–R materials remaining from 2012–13, but not enough for the fall semester of the 2013–14 school year are authorized to make photocopies of these materials for the administration of this test to students and/or for training school personnel in the administration of this test.

Ordering Materials Instructions for school administrators on the ordering of NYSITELL materials via

the Department’s online exam request portal will be provided through email by November 1. Schools that submit a request for NYSITELL by November 30, 2013 can expect to receive delivery of the materials the week of January 27, 2014.

NYSITELL Results will be collected for the Data Warehouse.
