The Teacher Assistant Module, or TAM, is a multi-purpose tool designed for management of the classroom data. Although TAM may appear to operate as a stand-alone module, it is an integral part of the Student Information System (eSIS). The inter-connectivity means that when demographic information is updated on a student record in eSIS, the information is immediately available to the student's teachers through TAM. When the teacher posts student marks in TAM for the current reporting period, marks are also immediately available in eSIS and authorized users will have access to the mark records.
