Section Educator 

The StaffSectionAssociation and SectionEducator resources are used to capture the relationship between educators and course section enrollment details for the TASC collection.

  • In Ed-Fi, If an educator lacks a valid Educator Identifier, such associations should be submitted to the SectionEducator resource, which records the educator’s email address, name, and section association.

A section association record for an educator with a valid Educator Identifier should not be submitted to the SectionEducator resource. Conversely, a section association with a staff member who does not have a valid Educator Identifier should not be submitted to the StaffSectionAssociation resource.

Selection Criteria 

  • Sections must be published 

  • The staff Unique Id (State Teacher Number) must be BLANK in PowerSchool.
