A wealth of student data — if you can log in

by Kelly Vaughan, at 9:37 am

Middle school English teacher Ms. Malarkey shares her real-life experience with the city’s data management tools:

I’ve been a good little soldier and have been attempting to use more data. Of course, it took me about three weeks to be able to log on to Acuity. No one could figure out why, but then I realized that my old DOE e-mail account is somehow lost in cyberspace, replaced with a newer one I had no idea about with both my maiden and married names. In the meantime, I still haven’t been able to log on to ARIS.

    When I log into ARIS, I see nothing. I assume that’s because I’m an AIS provider, so the students that I service aren’t officially enrolled under my name. But since no one at my school has ever said anything about using ARIS, I’m not going to push the issue.

    I finally WAS able to log on, after a 10 minute chat with a very nice person at the DOE Help Desk. But there’s no student data there that I can see- the only thing I can access is this part that reminds me a lot of Facebook, so I can “network” with the other teachers and discuss the data that none of us can find.

    Principals can give two levels of access in ARIS a ‘schoolwide’ viewer, or a teacher who can only view a specific class. That’s it. I believe the assignments can be made in Galaxy. There’s really no reason for not knowing your board of ed email log-in and password. A call to the help desk will iron those issues out immediately. The system is far from perfect, but improving. But if Instructional Tech moves to the Office of Accountability, I’m concerned for the future of computing in schools.
