Teacher Course Student (TCS) Report

CT_GradeUsingStandard.Report Description

This report contains teacher, course, student, grade/outcome, and credit data for all students who were enrolled in the district for a minimum of 90 total calendar days during the school year for which the report is being run.

Use this report to extract the data needed to meet Connecticut state TCS reporting requirements when your schools use Standards based grades and/or award a single traditional final grade and grant credit for the course one time at the end of the course.

The final grades and credits that are extracted for each course are determined based upon the store codes entered for the Reporting Store Codes that are configured on the Start Page > District Setup > Schools/School Info > Edit School > Reporting Store Codes (TCS) page.

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report. Refer to selection criteria for analysis when the report does not return the correct records.

Student Selection

  • The student must not be excluded from state reporting.

  • The student enrollment must be in a school selected on the report parameter page.

[CC] Record Selection

  • The CC record must be within the current school year of the school where the course is being taken.

  • Associated section must not be excluded from the TCS report. ([Courses]exclude_state_rpt_yn = 1).

  • The CC record must occur during the year of the selected term.

Historical Grade [StoredGrades] record selection

  • The record must not be excluded from TCS ([S_CT_SGR_TCS_X]ExcludeFromTCS).

  • The record must either:

    • Have a Section ID associated with a selected CC record.

    • Have a SectionID = 0, TermID within the selected school year, and SchoolID of a selected student enrollment record.

Standards-based Grades Selection

  • The student enrollment record grade level must be less than or equal to the Highest grade using Standards Grading (S_CT_SCH_Standard_Grd_Levels_C[Grade_Level]) of the school where the course is taken [CC]SchoolID.

Note: If a student does not receive a grade for a course that ordinarily is awarded a grade (example: student not enrolled long enough to complete sufficient course work) but a grade such as EX (Exempt) or NG (No Grade) is recorded for the student, these grades should be stored using a unique Store Code that is not included in the TCS Final Grade Store Code setup so they will not be picked up in the report. The SCED code associated with the Teacher of Record (101) indicates the entire course weight and credit earned  and the SCED code associated with the Co-Teacher (103) will be worth 0 with 0 earned.
