About the Collection: TCS
The Teacher-Course-Student (TCS) application collects student, teacher and course information. Analyses of TCS data can greatly inform school and district strategists to increase the college and career readiness of all learners (e.g., course-taking patterns and course completion rates for students from different subgroups and schools, alignment of middle/high school courses to college-level courses). This data allows districts to make informed decisions about their current state of instruction and learning as well as the ways in which both can be improved, monitored and shared. Select TCS data is publicly available on EdSight.
The Student Achievement Module (SAM) is housed within TCS. The module will be used to collect various credentials earned by students such as Seal of Biliteracy records.
