Sharing from an Alabama Educator. As we work with data in our districts, let us remember the following:

It’s not really about the numbers. It’s about the faces those numbers represent. Every child deserves a LITERATE future.

Data is a tool. It’s a chisel, not a hammer. We use it to shape our instruction. ❤️

AETC has been a blast in the Rocket City! We have enjoyed working with all of the attendees over the last two days. To all of our Alabama PowerSchool users, we appreciate your hard work and dedication you give every day for the districts in our state.

End of Year time is here. All districts must have the end of year process completed by Tuesday. Find all of your end of year resources at the link below.

Most districts have now heard the exciting news that the State Department of Education has recently purchased a new product for all of our Alabama schools - Unified Insights by PowerSchool. This innovative platform will provide you with comprehensive insights into student data, allowing you to make informed decisions and take proactive measures to improve student outcomes.

To help you prepare for the upcoming launch of Unified Insights, I would like to invite Alabama users to a special webinar on Thursday, April 6, 2023, at 11:00 AM CST. During this session, you will receive an overview of the product's components and features, giving you a glimpse of what to expect once the product goes live in August.

This webinar is a great opportunity to learn more about Unified Insights and how it will benefit your district. I encourage everyone to attend, and I will record the overview to share with anyone who will not be able to attend live.

To register for the webinar, please use the link that has been emailed to districts. I look forward to seeing you there and exploring the potential of Unified Insights together!

Alabama Special Programs - Common Access Issues Addressed

Do you find yourself asking "Why can't teachers see what we see in Special Programs?", "Why can't counselors access Special Programs records as well?", "Why do I lose access to transfer files when a new document is released?", and "Why can't I see when we receive a student that had records in another district?"? If these questions have been haunting you, then I ask that you join Stacy Royster for this one-hour webinar on Monday, April 3 at 1:00 PM CST. I will demystify the settings in Special Programs that allow all of these items to happen. We will go through best practices and a to-do list that must be a part of the Special Programs Administrator roles in responding to how this program works.

This webinar will be recorded for anyone who will not be able to attend live.
