Graduation Requirements- Services Performed

Introduction:

The purpose of this document is to describe the functionality for defining, collecting and reporting graduation requirements.  For all the Prestige schools, the state licensing board wants to know how much time the students are spending on specific graduation requirement  (hands on skills) , and add a classification of Theory program requirements (book work) curriculum. 

The Prestige system provides functionality for automated accumulation of graduation requirement.  These items are accumulated in the student record by either by selling the service in the POS, by attending a class where this subject is taught, or by a staff/instructor manually enter the completion of a skill.

This document describe this functionality in the Prestige system.  

Program Requirement Classification in  Prestige

There are currently three Graduation Requirement Classifications in Prestige.

1. Program requirements (Theory)
2. Practical Skills (Practical)  and
3. Administrative (Admin)

These types are hard coded in the system and we currently do not allow for customization of these types.  Note:  Defining each type is not required, the users can define one, two or all three types.

 

Set up of Graduation Requirements

In the Program set up screen -  customization/program, the graduation requirements for the program are defined.

Administrators would set up each of the program requirements and the classifications.

• Add new classifications for Graduation Requirement Type

• Use response sets or new category in customization -so school can create their own classification of graduation type: default is Theory, Practical, Admin.
• Change the requirement “Unit field” to “Requirement Duration” - as in time format.
• Time in hours format
• Need to add “duration per unit”
• Define the requirements as total time spent on function
• Be able to import the program requirements
• Update Program Requirements totals to:  sum durations vs. counting number of rows

  

 

Setting up Theory Requirements

Theory, classroom, subjects can be defined to the level of when they are taught in the classroom, including the subject and the time spent.  If the student was in class during the time this subject was taught, as determined by the clock punch data, the student will accumulate the theory credits.  

Defining Class Topics

In the Class set up screen, the users can define the class topics.   Class topics is a listing of the educational elements taught during the class.  Originally used for detailed curriculum, the Class Topics allow prestige users to define what graduation requirements will be met by the student attending the class.

Note:  This function does not report on the grades or demonstration of knowledge, it simply awards the defined graduation requirements for theory to every student clocked in during the class time.

 

Edit the Class Topics Screen

Display has a column for week, date, day of week, graduation requirement and duration.  

• grad requirement (drop down of predefined requirements)
• Entry for Time spents
• Have ability to have multiple requirements for each day.

• Additional Columns for Grad requirements
• Additional columns for time spent

(able to add additional requirement and durations)  

Class topics are defined in the class set up screen

Note:  Once added to a class schedule.  If the student is present in school during the day this class is taught, the student will receive graduation requirements credit for the subject.

Interface with POS

When the system imports ticket data from the POS there is a function that converts the services performed to Program Requirements (defined in Inventory setup) Currently, the function adds a number of rows for each service performed.   Instead of inserting a row for each item, Insert a single row and add the duration earned by the student.
