Student Class File
SCHOOLS FILE
Provides the list of school buildings in the district that will be loaded into the RightPath™ system.
ADMINISTRATORS FILE
Administrator – The list of administrators to be given access to the RightPath™ system. Administrators will be given access to conduct walkthroughs and observations as well as review SLOs. Note, if a building administrator serves in more than 1 building, provide two records for the same employee specifying different building codes.
TEACHER (STAFF) FILE
The staff file includes individuals who need to be able to create SLOs and be observed in walkthroughs and observations.
CLASSES FILE
Provides a list of class periods to include in RightPath™. If there are classes you do not wish to include (e.g. lunch periods, bathroom monitoring duty, etc.) that are tracked in your SMS, exclude them from the feed delivered to RightPath™. Classes are included so that teachers may specify which classes to include on an SLO, and also so that administrators can specify during which class period an observation or walkthrough occurred.
STUDENTS FILE
A list of the students to include in RightPath™. Students are required so that they can be included in the population of an SLO.
ADDITIONAL TEACHER (CO-TEACHER) CLASS FILE
In some instances, more than one teacher is involved in providing instruction in a classroom. While the primary teacher is specified in the classes file, you may also provide these additional staff members in the Additional Teacher Class File. This allows all teachers in the classroom to be able to create an SLO for the classes.
STUDENT CLASS FILE
In order to create an SLO, the students must be associated with classes so that they can appear on the population. The Student Class File provides this association.
SLO SUMMARY DATA LOADING SPECIFICATION
In order to utilize the SLO assessment results and Goal Form generation features of RightPath™, your district will need to supply Right Reason with information about your SLO assessments.
In addition to the data in this document, please reference the SMS Data Loading Specification document. This document defines the interfaces required (from your SMS) for all RightPath™ clients. This document outlines the additional data required for SLO processing.
Each of the tables below identifies one file to create for the RightPath™ interface. CSV file format is preferred.
SLO REQUIREMENT – THE LIST OF TEACHERS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AN SLO
EXAM CATALOG DATA
After the exams are entered into the RightPath™ system, Right Reason will provide a list to the district of the same exams, with the RightPath ExamID. These RightPath Exam IDs must be present on the Student Results Data File outlined below.
