PLS: Engagement Logs

The Engagement log will provide you with the level engagement a student has participated in on a daily basis. This information is being pulled in from the Synchronous Calendar (if you are using it), Daily Logs, and data received from your bridge.

Why: Why use the Engagement Calendar?

• The Engagement Calendar was created to address the need to track Synchronous Instruction for students and staff.
• Bridges the gap where synchronous instruction can be provided by teachers who may not be the primary teacher for a student (Ex: Counselors, Subject Matter Specialists)

Where: Where does the data go?

• Data flows from the Event once saved, onto the PLS Roster>Engagement Log
• Gives the primary teacher (PLT, IS Staff Association, Oversight Teachers, EA) the ability to see that their students did/did not have synchronous instruction provided by another staff member
• Data also flows to the Activity Monitor (monitor controlled by a policy on the PLS Roster).  Primary teachers can see on the monitor that their student had activity for that day

When: When is the best time to use the Engagement Calendar

• Do students at your school receive synchronous instruction from staff other than their primary teacher? If yes, then this is when you would benefit from the Engagement Calendar

What is Synchronous Instruction and how does School Pathways facilitate the tracking?

“Synchronous instruction” means classroom-style instruction or designated small group or one-on-one instruction delivered in person, or in the form of internet or telephonic communications, and involving live two-way communication between the teacher and pupil. Synchronous instruction shall be provided by a teacher or teachers of record for that pupil pursuant to Section 51747.5 or the certificated employee of the local educational agency providing instruction for course-based independent study

Ways School Pathways can track Synchronous Instruction:

• Engagement Calendar- Synchronous Events
• Zoom Integration + Engagement Calendar
• CMS Class Attendance+Engagement Calendar
• PLS Roster- Engagement Log
