Tags provide individuals and teams a way to identify specific student cohorts based on any criteria. Once a custom student cohort is created via tags, that cohort's data can be viewed on the District, Grade, and Class tabs. Not only can that cohort be selected to include in data searches, but that cohort can also be excluded from data searches. Tags can be created from any charted data, from a data wall, or within the Student Tag Manager. Anyone can create tags. However, only those individuals with permission to Manage Public Tags can create public tags. Tags are created within one school year, and they do not automatically transfer from one year to the next. Tags can be used to filter data in searches and can be used in more advanced features. Public tags display on data walls, the Student Profile, and smartFORMS (when configured). Users who create private tags will see them displayed on data walls and the Student Profile. This lesson will guide you through managing student tags in eduCLIMBER.
