Completing the Collection • For MSC, data can be submitted in parts • “Parts” must be complete sets • “A” records are always required • Certain combinations of B through J records can be submitted together • All parts must be successful in order for the collection to be complete and your verification reports to become available
Output • Student growth percentile (SGP) data will be made available to school divisions upon a successful data completion and fully verified MSC • Getting the teacher rosters with growth data in a timely manner is dependent on completing the MSC • Used in research purposes and reporting • Example: Technology requested information on virtual learning going on in the schools • IPAL data is used to report to USED
OUTPUT • SEDF reports come from the MSC Collection • All reports for SEDF are still available via the SEDF SSWS application • All reports will be verified via this application • If changes need to be made, the MSC would need to be resubmitted • Because SEDF is now part of MSC, SOQ funding will be linked to submitting MSC • Data verification is more important than ever!
