Power User Training
STARS Account Managers and District Users
Who is a good candidate to be a Power User?
A Power User is an SD-STARS user who has elevated permission, receives training in STARS Analytics, and can create and publish district-created reports for users in their district. An individual is a good candidate to be a Power User if they:
- Can log in to SD-STARS.
- Can be given elevated permission by their district to access confidential district-wide student data, including free and reduced lunch data, for the purpose of creating and publishing reports for users in the district. The district must sign an SD-STARS Power User access form acknowledging this elevated permission.
- Understands educational data, especially data reported to the state by districts, including: enrollment, student demographics, state assessments, special education data, and accountability report card
- Are comfortable manipulating data to form lists, tables, and charts. They can organize, compare, and analyze data by using filters, colors, etc.
There are some key expectations for Power Users, including attending the training, communicating to the Department of Education and other Power Users, and more. For more information on STARS Analytics and the Power User permission, see the attached fact sheet.
With the success of the pilot, the SD-STARS team will train Power Users in three locations across South Dakota this spring. Districts with interested individuals are required to send teams of 2-3 participants to the training. These participants would learn about STARS Analytics and become Power Users.
