2. The Problem:
Teachers need to easily notify and track academic performance, achievement data,
attendance and anecdotals to parents and students while making their efforts transparent
to administrators and staff. This will enable staff collaboration through this open
communication.
• Send messages with automatic
translation
• Filter by performance/attendance
data
• Filter by groups and flags
• Log of messages
• Receive real time performance • Track outreach to parents and
data student actions
• Open teacher communication • Transparent communication
• Receive real time performance
• Staff collaboration
data
• Open teacher communication
• Receive in home language

3. The NOTE-e-FI Solution
Our Solution:
Recipients can be defined by individual student, parent and school staff,
classes and student groups. Classes and student groups can then be
filtered manually or by teacher defined rules (i.e. Students who did not
attend school today).
Message text can be translated into other languages based on student
home language.
Message types will be stored as logs so the teacher can review parent
and student outreach records when needed.
Solution fits into the teachers regular work flow:
Grading and attendance are part of a teacher’s daily responsibilities as is
communicating with parents and students. This application gives teachers
back the time they would have spent searching for contact information,
student data and copying and pasting separate emails to parents and
students.

4. Leveraging SLC
How SLC was used to bring the solution together:
Read lists of classes and teachers
Read class lists of students
Read home language and student flags
Read student performance and attendance data
Write back discipline action in response to a tardy discipline incident. DisciplineAction
will be written after the message is sent. All students filtered by a DisciplineIncident
will be included in a DisciplineAction written to the SLC.

Self IntroductionI represent the Gates Foundation, so I’m here to address the Philanthropy Perspective on education. I’d like to speak with you about the challenges in the classroom today and one of the specific initiatives underway to address it.[Stephen: Need to add some context language about how this fits within the Gates Foundations Next Generation models efforts and overall education initiatives – based on the topic of the presentation it will be expected]
