GSSM Report
Report Logic
One record for each student who meets the requirements of the report prints.
Posted transcript records are necessary, as follows:
- A transcript must include two separate records of the same course, with the actual term, the student term and the end term for each record in which the student received a grade.
- Grade level (state grade levels) in which the course was taken must be 09, 10 or 11.
- To be considered, the grading task must be the Semester grade, or similar.
- The GSSM Category needs to be assigned on the Course.
- A student must have received a State Score of B, B+, A-, A, A+.
For ELA, Mathematics or Science, students must receive a state grade of B+ or higher.
For US History, students must receive a grade of B or higher.
Assessments with any passing score can be used to meet the requirements for ELA and Math IF and include the following:
- Subject of LangArts or Math
- State Test Code of 107: Golden State Examinations
If a student meets the requirements for one course category and also meets the requirements of the assessment, the category shows as met, as well as having met Additional 1 (or 2). For example, a student's passing score on an assessment meets GSSM, as does their semester grade on the course. The student reports in the extract with an X for the category and an X for the additional category.
Courses can be tied together using Schedule Rules of SAME TEACHER or BIND. This is used when course names are different (Math 1A, Math 1B, etc.).
