Roster Verification (RV); previously TSC

Roster verification (RV), previously called teacher student claiming (TSC), is scheduled to begin April 7, 2022, for all TN schools administering state assessments.

Teacher value-added data are used for several diagnostic and evaluative purposes, including teacher evaluations. The RV process plays a crucial role in ensuring that there is accurate data for calculating teacher value-added reports and evaluation composites. Shortly before the launch of fall and spring state testing, teachers use the RV process to claim students they taught during the school year. Once teachers have completed and approved their rosters, the rosters are used in calculating teacher value-added scores (TVAAS).

CMCSS RV Calendar

The schedule for 2021 – 2022 RV is:

  • Preview Phase: 04/07/2022 – 04/19/2022
  • Teacher Verification Phase: 04/20/2022 – 05/10/2022
  • School Verification Phase: 05/11/2022 – 05/24/2022
  • District Verification Phase: 05/25/2022 – 06/14/2022

The first steps for RV will be the Preview Phase (4/7/22 to 4/19/22). During this phase each school’s testing coordinators objectives include:

  • Make sure the appropriate teachers have access to RV
  • Make sure each teacher has the appropriate rosters
  • Mark appropriate students as ineligible

State legislation requires each teacher complete his or her own TSC.

CMCSS RV Support Manual (Last updated on 4/18/22)

The Accountability and Assessment Team emailed a preliminary spreadsheet to CMCSS principals and Testing Coordinators on 4/6/2022 containing students who participated in homebound or the alternative school. This spreadsheet identified students to be marked as ineligible and the balance of claiming between the schools for those students who are eligible for claiming. A second spreadsheet will be sent to all testing coordinators prior to 4/19/2022 with any students missing from the spreadsheet sent on 4/6. These spreadsheets include the virtual school, all middle and high schools, and a few elementary schools.
