Additional District Setup for Co-Teaching Roles
To ensure accurate reporting to the Mississippi State Operational Data Store (ODS), the Student Information System must correctly publish the Classroom Position Type for all instructional staff assigned to a section. This includes Lead Teachers, Proctors, Paraprofessionals/Teacher Aides, and any additional co-teaching roles.
The system uses the Co-Teaching Roles assigned to section staff members, with each role linked to a specific Reference Code. These roles must be configured under System Management > Security > User Roles.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Access Co-Teaching Role Configuration
Navigate to:
System Management
