Roster Verification

Through Roster Verification, teachers review rosters populated from Aldine ISD data systems. Teachers confirm when the student was in the classroom. Then, principals review and confirm the teacher-validated rosters.

Teacher-driven Roster Verification gives credit where credit is due—to the teachers who are responsible for instructing their students. This ensures the highest-quality data to inform student growth measures. Proper instructional attribution results in better effectiveness measures, across the board.
