Managing Student Growth for TIA Reporting

Student growth scores measure academic achievement over time.

Users can manage a district’s student growth information from the Manage Student Growth screen within Settings and use the data in the Custom TIA Export, the Student Growth and Teacher Performance Correlation tool, and the Goal and Portfolio Detail Report.

Entering Student Growth Scores

This data can be entered in three ways on the Manage Student Growth screen:

Manually enter scores
Import scores from a teacher-created student portfolio (if available)
Upload a spreadsheet with the required fields

To manually enter scores, type the scores into the appropriate percentage columns for the correct staff member.

Note: District Aware managers can customize the labels attached to student growth scores. For districts that manage student growth scores with only two labels, Aware managers can customize labels such as Did Not Grow, Expected Growth, and Exceeded Growth. Percentages must total 100 percent. For example, scores may appear as 20% Does Not Meet Growth, 80% Met Growth, and N/A 0%.

If any student portfolios are available, select the three vertical dots, then select Import from Portfolio.

Note: The day after the last instructional day of your district's instructional calendar, Student Portfolios become inactive, preventing users from importing data to Manage Student Growth in Strive. To continue making Student Portfolios active, you can extend the instructional calendar end date, but be mindful of how such an extension can affect other processes, like Planner days in Beacon. Student Portfolios automatically archive 15 days before the beginning of the next school year.

Alternatively, select the Upload arrow to upload a CSV file containing student growth scores. Selecting Download template gives you a spreadsheet with preset columns for easier data entry and uploading.
