Key Entities
This domain contains:
- A StudentAcademicRecord entity associated with each Session entity, which in turn has a CourseTranscript entity for each course taken. Together, these entities form a holistic student transcript, containing information about course-level grades and credits.
- A ReportCard entity and a GradingPeriod entity, which contain information for grading period grades and competencies. Generally speaking, a report card consists of a ReportCard entity for each GradingPeriod entity. A grade is associated with each Section entity.
- A GradebookEntry entity which represents an assignment in a gradebook. A gradebook contains grades and competencies for classroom quizzes, tests, homework, and projects. Each student’s score for an assignment is a StudentGradebookEntry, which can be a Grade or a CompetencyLevel entity.
Key Concepts
The key concepts include the following:
- LearningStandards entities can be tied directly to GradebookEntry entity records. However, when tying them to a ReportCard grade entity, StudentCompetencyObjectives and Grade (via the LearningStandardGrade elements) entities are required.
- There are three separate subdomain models within this domain, and they each address different but related areas of the academic record.
- The Student Transcript model is strictly concerned with historical information. Generally speaking, the Student Transcript records that particular student took a certain course during a particular term and received a particular grade.
- The Report Card model is designed to replicate its namesake providing section score information for a given GradingPeriod entity.
- The Gradebook model includes homework assignments, quizzes, and any individual grades earned that would be recorded within a teacher’s gradebook.
- While data in each subdomain model can influence others, they aren’t a hierarchy. The subdomain documentation in Student Academic Record Domain - Model Diagrams provides additional detail.
