How We Help
1. SIS Integrations
After the initial setup, Aperture's Data Team monitors the health of your automated roster integrations so your staff, student, and scheduling data is always up-to-date.
2. Multi-Site Setup
The Aperture System is designed to grow and adapt along with your schools. You can include as many Sites as needed throughout your implementation. Whether you're expanding the use of the DESSA into new schools, grade levels, or out-of-school programs, we will add and maintain your new Sites and rosters on an ongoing basis in collaboration with your IT team.
3. IT and Data Team Collaboration
Our Data Team's expertise with integrating tech platforms in educational settings is unmatched. We are always available for meetings with your district IT team for any needs that may arise to keep your SIS integrations, data exports, and rater assignments running smoothly. In addition to one-on-one support, we have a data support ticketing system so submitting any potential issues and getting quick solutions is easy!
4. Training and Professional Learning
Aperture's Professional Learning Team provides a rigorous yet flexible suite of training sessions, materials, and support for your entire district with dedicated learning tracks for district administrators, school leaders, and educators.
- 24/7 Access to the Academy: With your Aperture System user account, you and your team will always have access to informative interactive training courses in the Aperture Academy. As your team completes training, you can monitor their progress and completion rates using the "Training Completion Report" in the Data and Insights section of the Aperture System.
- On-Demand Video Library: In addition to the full asynchronous courses in the Academy, you also have access to short tutorial videos designed for all users of the Aperture System, keeping you up-to-date with any and all new features and tools in your account.
Communities of Practice
Our Community of Practice gathering is an hour-and-a-half space for Program Administrators and Site Leaders for districts to come together virtually to ask questions and share best practices surrounding the DESSA, the Aperture System, and social emotional skills in action. We often hear customers voice the need to be thought-partners with other users, and we want to help! If this sounds like something your organization is interested in, please contact us!
The opportunity to roll out a social and emotional screener is a big investment for our district so we knew there was a lot of pressure to roll out a product that would be well-received at our sites and among our teachers and leaders. As a result of the professional learning provided by the Aperture team, our sites feel ready and confident to implement.
