DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND
Design ConsiderationsYears & Terms
Semester – Trimester – Quarters
Landscape vs. PortraitMore space for standard text (65)Larger Font- Landscape
Headers vs. StandardsGraded or not
Shading Lines
Gray Boxes
Code vs. Text^(*std.info.name;02.LA.01) You or someone else

The subliminal message do you send to your community by the placement of your subjects?
UPPER RIGHT of page #1 is BOARDWALK
Summative - Student Records
^(*std.stored.comments;ELA.4.50;T1)^(*std.stored.comments;MA.4.17;T1)
1. Teachers will write TOO MUCH!2. Set Max Width to keep text in the box3. SOMEONE must inform teachers of
character max count!
Stay inside the lines
Better Identifier??
All comments- 1 report card in Student Record Folder
Content Specific Comments
To stay within lines Max Width needs to be set for each comment area.
• Typically reserved for MS Level
• Requires considerably more Real Estate
• If space is not available, tech team must change code as needed
^(*std.stored.comments;02.LA.50;Q4)
Do elementary PE Teachers write comments?

Which code to use/what will it display?^(*std.stored.high;ELA.5.1;T1;2010) = highest stored grade for standard T1, 2010
^(*std.stored.num;ELA.5.1;T1;11) = average stored grade for standard T1 in Grade 11
^(*std.stored.transavg;ELA.5.1;T1) = stored number grade for standard T1
^(*std.transhigh;ELA.5.1) = stored number grade for standard
= Not Assessed This Term – Strategies!Teachers will have to either:1) leave standard blank2) select a conversion scale choice of NA
3) All standards will be seen by teacher even if correct term is selected – no element refers to term ID UNLESS someone changes the Enable selection
BE ON THE SAME PAGE Key/Assessments
Sending Home Letter Grades and Percentages will confuse
Parents and Students
Avoid confusion with homebound papers: Curriculum/Admin issue NOT Technical!
Multi-page Reports

Habits of MindEssential Skills for LearningSocial Demeanor
Elementary – One teacher – all subjectsMiddle School – Multiple teachers – individual subjectsStandard for each, spacing code is significant for the section below Included on the flash drive!
Not Dynamic – space for everything 1. Have admin consider limiting standards in each content area!2. Battlegrounds between core academics and special subjects3. Generic Standards for all Performance Groups (BCO) and Foreign Language (F,S,C,L)

Corrections on screen or print?Create a comment only report for teachers rather than printing entire report cardsSample available on DERO Technical Website- Report Cards!
So what about ReportWorks 1.5?ReportWorks is a next-generation custom report development solution:• 1st version to handle grades• delivering all the benefits of anywhere, anytime web-based access • feature-rich environment rivaling the capabilities of third party reporting apps• meets the needs of experienced report developers and beginners• currently no absence reporting functionality• files listing standards grades are available, however; sharable traditional report
card resources limited at this time
Can I convert my Object Reports?
ReportWorks vs. Object ReportsObject Reports are based upon legacy code that is not compatible with ReportWorks!
Q: Are Object Reports going away?A: Not anytime soon, $$$$ and time ( 5-8 years – MAYBE!)Q: If I need a report card for this fall, recommendation?A: Go with what you know, no experience – contract Q: What do you currently use to create report cards?A: I use ParkBench Visual PSTQ: Are you planning to create them with ReportWorks?A: Yes, I’m learning it between clients

If a tab measurement contained a portion of the identifier or visa versa, use punctuation to help delineate the difference!

Oracle handles page numbers as text fields and has trouble sequencing object reports greater than 9 pages. A sequence error will occur on your print outs... page 10 will be printed as the 2nd page - page 11 as the 3rd page. Work-Around is to re-order your pages in the file.
In my 12 page example which prints as 1, 10, 11, 12, 2-9. I had place ELA as the 10th page as client wanted it printed second. Math became the 11th page and so on. Email me if you have any questions
Of course if your report ( standard-based report cards is less than 10 pages, you have nothing to worry about!
