Fields on the Job Assignments tab are stored in the STJ table, which is used to store job assignment information for credentialed staff members.To add a job assignment, click on Add New Record.



To add a job assignment for a full-time (100% FTE) teacher, select 12 Teacher from the Job Classification dropdown and add 100 to the FTE field:

Credentialed staff members who do not teach students must have their Job Assignments coded correctly for state reporting.

Note:  consult state reporting guidelines for guidance on staff members' job assignments. More information on reporting staff data to CALPADS is provided in CALPADS in Aeries Basics - Staff Data.

The Credentials tab stores information about the staff member's teaching credentials. This information is stored in the STC table. This information is not used during state reporting, but can be used for LEA reference. 



Credentials fields include:

  • Date: the date the credential or certification was earned
  • Type: the type of credential
  • Code: the credential or authorized teaching area
  • Document#: the credential document number


Assignments


In the past, the Assignments tab was used for credentialed staff members. At the present time, job assignments for credentialed staff members are reported to CALPADS and CBEDS using the information on the Job Assignments tab. However, the Assignments tab may still be used for CBEDS ORA reporting of classified employees' job assignments. This data is stored in the STA table. 


If using Aeries to report classified staff members' data for CBEDS, the following fields should be recorded on the Staff information bar for any classified staff member who should be reported:

  • Schl: the school primarily associated with the staff member

Highly Qualified Teacher Status


The Highly Qualified Teacher Status tab is no longer used for state reporting, since HQT status is no longer required by the state. If LEAs choose to do so, credentialed staff members' HQT information, including the NCLB Core Area and Highly Qualified Status fields, can be recorded on this tab. The data is stored in the STH table.
