What is Roster Verification?

Video

Roster Verification is a process, done every spring, where teachers attribute their instructional influence on student academic progress and to receive teacher value-added reports.

The process includes:

Establishing a roster of students taught throughout the year.

Indicating the month(s) when students were in and out of the classroom.

Reporting the percentage of instruction for each student in a given subject.

Why Do We Verify Teacher Rosters?

Involving principals and teachers in the process helps to ensure the most accurate teacher-student associations are captured transparently.

By understanding the data that goes into the Roster Verification system, teachers and principals have more confidence and trust the information truly reflect his/her classroom student during the school year.


Who is Participating?

2007–2011: SOAR collaborative districts

2012: Ohio RttT (about 60% of the state)
