Reporting System Enhancement Ideas

Home for all ideas for additional features and functions of the Smarter Reporting System. Feedback left here goes directly to the SRS Team to help determine future enhancement priorities.

Replace "Subgroup" with "Student Group"

In all places where the discriminatory, derogatory, "otherizing" term of "subgroup" appears in SRS (buttons, tables, reports, info pop-ups, User Guide, etc.), request that term be replaced with the term "student group." This request is meant to address the issue of representation of students by race/ethnicity or program (e.g., students receiving special education services) by referring to all students in respectful ways.

I realize "student group" is already begin used within SRS to reference a group of students assigned to a user via the csv upload process. To that point, if another inclusionary, person-first, respectful term is preferred above "student group," that would be fine as a replacement for "subgroup."

    Perhaps a 'nest' (as in a nested group), 'roll' (roll call), 'cast' or 'coalition' of students? (BL)

    BL - Set, sub-set, batch? (Not sure what else the Oxford English dictionary might suggest - perhaps a 'gaggle, pod, team, or school of students?')
