Recap of regional trainings
For STARS Account Managers and District Users
The SD-STARS team provided six regional trainings across the state, in Mitchell, Aberdeen, and Rapid City.
The morning training provided information on creating accounts automatically by updating and maintaining Infinite Campus or Skyward. STARS Account Managers worked through their district’s accounts and fixed any accounts or permissions.
The afternoon session was attended by any district or state user who wanted to know more about reports and Data Interpretations Guides (DIGs). District users were guided on how to log in, navigate SD-STARS, and where to locate reports and DIGs. Participants then explored SD-STARS reports to answer data questions.
Participants were given an opportunity to give feedback about both sessions. Overall, feedback was positive, and some suggestions were noted by the SD-STARS team to continually provide great training opportunities. One suggestion was to return to having regional trainings at the beginning of the school year. The SD-STARS team is going to discuss this and hopes to be able to have regional trainings in mid-August to better help users.
