Challenge Accepted – Cleansing The Blackbaud Student Information System Curriculum

Michelle Grant

Last year I completed a 30-day clean eating challenge. And yes, I made it out alive. Thank you, thank you. Ok, ok, back to the real reason I’m expressing my success…

Anytime I went out to eat, which was rare, I wished every single restaurant served only the items I wanted—or should I say only items I should eat. After all, the menus always listed A TON of options I wanted to order, but only a few I should order. Seeing only a list of things I knew I should eat would have made my ordering process so much easier!

So, here at Blackbaud University, we decided let’s do that for our K–12 Blackbaud Student Information System curriculum! Let’s restructure our classes to base the content on typical roles at schools so everyone can take classes based on their own needs or to-do lists. Some people set up the system, some people manage the system after it’s set up, some people enter data into the system, and of course, some of you database rock stars do all of these things!

Thus, we have our newest Blackbaud Student Information System curriculum:

• K–12 Blackbaud Student Information System™: Optimizing Schedule Configurations
  • Learn how to strategize and prepare your site for both manual and automatic scheduling.
• K–12 Blackbaud Student Information System™: Building Class and Student Schedules
  • Learn how to build your class and student schedules each year – manually and/or automatically creating and adding class sections, teachers, rooms, and finally, enrolling students.
• K–12 Blackbaud Student Information System™: Configuring Administrative Tasks
  • Learn how to strategize and setup attendance, official notes, conduct, learning profiles, and medical in your student information system
• K–12 Blackbaud Student Information System™: Supporting Daily Faculty Tasks

How do I know which classes I have taken and which are new? I took all of the Core, On Record and On Campus in the previous system but it looks like there might be some new one? Also are there any advanced ones?
