Extending AssessmentReportingMethodType

Summary of outcomes for Data Standard 2.1

• Problem Addressed: More flexibility is needed for AssessmentReportingMethodType to allow for additional reporting methods.
• High-level Reasoning: There exist a number of popular college-bound-related assessment reporting methods not currently covered by this type. Additionally, schools and districts may have implementation-specific reporting methods.
• Changes Made: Converted AssessmentReportingMethodType to AssessmentReportingMethodDescriptor

Original ticket description follows:

Ed-Fi has extended CEDS in AssessmentReportingMethodType to include, among other things, "National College-Bound Percentile" and "State College-Bound Percentile." There exist a number of popular college-bound-related assessments like PLAN and EXPLORE where the results include the student's percentile vis-a-vis both the district and school as well. Please consider extending AssessmentReportingMethodType to include district and school equivalents of the existing National/State types. Or, and I think this could be more of an epic, consider the creation of a descriptor around this (and most every) type in Ed-Fi to allow for easier local customization.
