Default Grade Mapping (Cross-Site)

Where possible, logic attempts to establish grade mappings automatically for Cross-Site courses. This mapping information is from the perspective of the Home School that is establishing mappings to receive grades from a Serving School. 

Logic attempts to create default mappings for each unique Term and Task/Standard combination. Logic is as follows: 

Step 1: Last Year's Setup

First, the logic checks the previous year's mappings to see if they apply. If the course was mapped to last year's calendar and last year's calendar was rolled, last year's grade mappings are applied. The course must also have the same Serving School and Serving Course Master. 

Step 2: Copy from the Serving School Course

Next, the logic attempts to get grading setup from the Serving School. To do so, each course must be on a Calendar with only one Term Schedule and those Calendars must have the same number of Terms at both schools. 

Logic attempts to match on the following fields. Differences between Intradistrict and Interdistrict connections are noted: 

Intradistrict

Interdistrict
  • Task/Standard: matches if using the same Task or Standard. 
  • Credit Groups: Matched by standardID. If standardID doesn't match, matched by Name. 
  • Terms: Matched by Sequence. 
  • Score Groups & Rubrics: Matched based on the established Default Score Group Mapping. If no default mapping exists, the Score Group or Rubric selected for the Serving course is used. 

  • Task/Standard: Standards matched by Code, Tasks matched by Name
  • Credit Groups: Matched by Name.
  • Terms: Matched by Sequence. 
  • Score Groups & Rubrics: Matched based on the established Default Score Group Mapping. If no default mapping exists, then the logic does not do any automatic mapping for Grading Tasks. 

Note: the Home School also populates the following fields from the Serving School: Term GPA, Credit, Display Credit Code, Ed-Fi Exclude, and Final Grade. (Last three fields not used in all states.)
