On August 1, 2009, the Information Technology Division and all departments that administer District Professional Development and Training activated a new web-based system called Electronic Registrar On-Line (ERO).
This is now the only way to register for DataDirector training sessions.
You can access ERO’s login page directly by going to http://sandi.net/ero. It is recommended that you review the job aid available at http://sandi.net/zangle/training/ERO_jobaid.pdf before logging in.
If you have a particular training interest offered by SDUSD (or if you want further information regarding different training subject areas), click the related link below to access the specific training pages. Each page includes a link to the ERO login page and an accompanying job aid to help you with using the system.

As we move later into the school year and change enrollment “terms” (from S1 to S2 for example), you may have noticed that DataDirector reports are including students who are no longer enrolled at your site. DataDirector has a default configuration to include all students enrolled since the beginning of the school year. We are working with DataDirector to make a change so that the default is to include students enrolled during the current term. In the interim, you can set the Term so that reports include only students currently enrolled. In the Exams picture above (click on it to enlarge it), click on the current term for your school and then click Update.
If you are using custom reports, you will want to add a filter for the current term (found in the Students data set) by using the Refine Data Set option described in the Creating Custom Reports job aid (available at: http://www.sandi.net/datadirector/readandlearn/jobaids/index.asp).
Questions about setting Terms in DataDirector may be addressed to Tressa Renee at trenee@sandi.net or to Ron Rode at rrode@sandi.net or 619-725-7190.

Two new assessments (identified as College Readiness when using a Scope filter...see graphic on right - click to enlarge) have been added to DataDirector. The SAT I results for 2007-08 include the composite score for the entire test as well as the individual scores for the verbal, writing, and mathematics subtests. The AP results for 2006-07 and 2007-08 are each included in a Test Series where students will have more than one row of results if they took more than one AP exam. To view results for all AP exams, simply click on the name of the assessment: 2007-08 AP Exams Combined, for example. Optionally, you may click on the plus sign (+) in front of the test series name to open up a list of all the individual AP exams and then click on the name of the one for which results are desired. Please note that it is not advisable to include the AP results in the test series as a column in custom reports because there is no way to indicate which AP exam results to include for students who took more than one exam. For custom reports, you will want to select individual AP exams under the Assessments type. Questions about accessing the SAT and AP data in DataDirector may be addressed to Tressa Renee at trenee@sandi.net or to Ron Rode at rrode@sandi.net or 619-725-7190.
