Updating teacher lists can be done in two ways.

• Add single teachers one at a time.
• Mass upload of teachers by district or campus.
  

Add teachers - one at a time

1. Log on to Campus STaR Chart.
2. Click on the Teacher List link.
3. Under "Add a teacher to my list," each teacher name should be added by adding the teacher first name and last name.
4. Click the button, "Add Teacher".
5. Continue for each teacher not currently on the Teacher List for this campus.

Add teachers - mass upload

The STaR Chart Helpdesk will be glad to upload the teacher list for a campus or district. To do so, the STaR Chart administrator at the district or campus should ask the PEIMS coordinator to extract a tab delimited text file in the following format

When teacher lists are uploaded

• Teacher names will be inactivated if the teacher name does not appear on the uploaded list.
• Teacher names on the uploaded list which were not on the Teacher List prior to the upload, will be added for this campus.
• Any teacher currently on the Campus STaR Chart Teacher List will remain as long as the teacher name is spelled the same way.

It is permissible to send a tab delimited file for the entire district or individual campus.

Teacher Email Addresses
Principals should double check teacher email addresses and correct any which are incorrect by choosing "Edit" next to the teacher name. When teachers request their password through the automated system, passwords will be sent to the email address on file. Incomplete or incorrect email addresses will cause passwords to be undeliverable. If an email address is incorrect, click "Edit" next to that teacher information and correct the email address.

Updating Teacher List
If the list of teachers for a particular campus is incomplete there are two options to update that list.

1. Principals may login to STaR Chart and select “Teacher List” at the top to view teachers on a campus.
1. Manually add any new teachers that do not appear on the list. Add these names as they appear in PEIMS. Input only first and last name as it appears in PEIMS. Hyphenated names are acceptable only if they appear this way in PEIMS. Please do not enter any other text or spaces (ie: nicknames, middle names or ititials, Jr., Sr., etc.) as this will not upload into your campus STaR Chart.
2. If there are numerous new teachers on a campus, a mass update may be completed using the following process:
1. Ask your PEIMS coordinator to create a tab-delimited TEXT file (.txt) with one teacher per line with the format:

9 digit campus ID <tab> teacher first name <tab> teacher last name.  

Ask that no blank rows be included in the list. This list should include all teachers on a particular campus (even those currently in STaR Chart). This file should be sent via email to starchart@esc12.net.

Example:
999999001   Susan        Adams
999999041   Cathy         Moore
999999101   Jose          Hernandez
999999101   Fernando     Martinez

• After adding additional teachers, revisit the list and obtain teacher usernames. These are typically in firstname.lastname format. In some situations a number will appear at the end of the username. This number is essential for the teacher on this campus, since it distinguishes that teacher from another in the state with the same name.
• A list of teacher usernames can be printed by choosing the Printer Friendly option.
• Each teacher will need their unique username and password in order to login as a returning teacher in STaR Chart.
• Teachers with no email address must first create their profile before submitting the STaR Chart assessment.

I only need to add a few teachers.  Do I need to send a file for uploading?

If you only need to add a few teachers, you might choose to add them manually. To do so, log on as the Campus User. On the menu bar at the top, choose Teacher List. On this page, teachers can be added manually.  The STaR Chart system will assign a username for teachers added. The principal will then provide the STaR Chart username to these teachers to begin the process. These new teachers will login to STaR Chart with their STaR Chart username and the generic password "password" before creating their profile.

It might be necessary to view the Archived Teacher list as well if a teacher was assigned to a particular campus in the past. If a teacher name is found in the archived list, you may select Reactivate to avoid reading the teacher to the system.
