This article will introduce the Operations Team's new import service for the Special Education Vendor Management Data View.
For schools that contract with Pearson Virtual Schools for related services contract management, PVS now offers periodic imports of related service data into the Pearson Online Classroom. This import service allows PVS to maintain data quality between two systems (HubSpot and the online classroom) and also reduces the workload for special education teachers and related service therapists who would need to manually update data for each student on their caseloads.
PVS has committed to the following timelines for back-to-school data imports:
- August 28, 2023: Related services data imported for early start schools
- September 5, 2023: Related services data imported for mid start schools
- September 11, 2023: Related services data imported for late start schools
Data is only imported for students that meet all of the following criteria:
- Student is currently enrolled in a PVS partner school
- Student has an active IEP that includes related services
- School contracts with PVS for related services management
These are the roles and responsibilities:
