How to Upload Evidence in TeachPoint

Here is link to a short video that walks you through the steps: How to Attach Evidence

Artifacts can be uploaded to a user's account, or attached directly to a form or even specific question within a form. You can move evidence from one question to another within a form.

To upload evidence directly to a form or a specific question within a form:

1. Click on a form you want to attach evidence to.

1. Below each question for you to fill out there is button for attachments that you can use if your evidence pertains to a specific question within the form.

1. You can also scroll down to the very bottom of the form and use the attachment button there, in case your evidence pertains to the form in general and not necessarily to a specific question.

Tagging Evidence and using Quick Search

Tagging is a feature of TeachPoint that allows users to organize data by assigning tags to each piece of information they record during the year. Tags typically include the standards defined in the educator rubric used by your district. The tagged data makes it easy for you to search and get reports based on those standards.

How to tag by evidence that is uploaded:

Attachment Tags

• You will have an option to select the tags that are enabled for attachment tagging while uploading an evidence-while attaching.

Use Quick Search to search for evidence submitted by standard

Quick Search allows you to quickly find all the data related to specific tags (standards.) This feature is helpful during the end of year reporting because you will be able to copy the data from Quick Search and paste it into the questions related to that specific standard. You can generate a report for a particular tag (a standard, an indicator or an element) in a form.

• On your Home Page click on the form that you have tags and open it.

• Click on Quick Search button on top.

• Change user, select Tags, Authors, Forms and the Date Range as a search criteria via drop down menus. (The system displays options under the the drop down menu based on your permission.)
• Click on Generate Report button on top right.

The first column contains the form name, question title, and the author. The second column displays the answer content. The third column displays the tags associated with the answer content. The fourth column displays the date and the time of the recorded data. You can always sort by tag name and date.

You can also copy some of the displayed information back into the form.

• Select the rows of data which you'd like to copy with the check boxes on the left.
• Define the fields to copy (Form, Questions, Tags and Content are checked by default.)

• Click on Copy to Clipboard button. When you select copy to clipboard, a dialog will appear to confirm that the information is now in your clipboard.
• Close the Quick Search dialog.
• Go to the text box (question) for the selected standard.
• Click on Paste to paste the copied content* from quick search into the text box.

*The content that is copied and pasted is in text format. See examples below.

Note that the "TeacherImage_02 copy" image evidence is copied into text format and pasted into the "Lesson/Activity Objective" question.
