Discipline | Need to see text of incident and action code (not just numerical code) | Use case needs a bit more detail and definition. Mainly: - What is the essential question. I'm not really sure how to word an EQ, but here is a first attempt: "What are the existing patterns of behavior (incident) and discipline (action) within districts (by school, grade level, demographic, individual student), including patterns by reporting staff member, and what changes in district/building policy and practice, including interventions, will help reduce the most persistent/frequent behavior (and discipline) issues?
- Who are the actors?
- Mainly school and district administrators. Teachers probably do not need to see aggregated data but should be able to see the discipline records of their own students (depending on district policy).
- Do all actors need the same info for discipline?
- No, see above #2. School and district administrators should be able to see all incident and action details for individual students as well as aggregated patterns.
- Current vs. Future state
- Current: Districts that do not use SWIS are limited in what they can see in terms of detailed discipline data. Experienced SIS users may be able to run reports to get these details, but most school-level do not have this level of expertise. Future state would allow school and district staff (mainly administrators) to see patterns in discipline data by type of offense, action taken, person reporting, and location and time of incident. In addition, users would be able to see patterns of total incidents as well as total offenders (who may have more than one incident).
- Not familiar with PBIS/SWIS applications, but similar to attendance if other systems have/provide this information what would be the value add for a reporting offering?
- Answer: users prefer to have data in one place; being able to get discipline data from the SWIS application via API would enable this. Not so much for reporting but for use by school staff in terms of deciding where to allocate personnel resources, do interventions, etc.
