  3. NYSED Comprehensive Course CatalogMapping is not new!

  4. May 2011 NYSED Memo

  5. Comprehensive Course Catalog • New York State’s comprehensive course code catalog will be adopted from the NCES SCED identifiers. • SED intends to make a “quick reference guide” subset available to assist in reporting. • LEAs would not be required to adopt the State codes, but they will have to map to the codes for reporting purposes in the 2011-12 school year.

  6. Many States Have Already Adopted NCES SCED Codes • In a recent survey, only 8 states said they did not plan to adopt NCES course codes • Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, and more are among early adopters

  7. Benefits of a State Course Catalog • Ability to share electronic transcripts between NYS high schools • Ability to share electronic transcripts from HS to SUNY/CUNY • Allows for research questions to be answered • Compliance with Federal laws and State regulations • Comparability among schools and districts • Provides for Teacher Student Data Linkage (TSDL)

  8. What are they crazy?

  9. We know they are crazy, now how do we deal with it?

  10. NCES SCED Since state codes were based on NCES SCED course codes, where can I see the NCES SCED documents? The NCES SCED for secondary can be found here: http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2007341 The NCES SCED for prior-to-secondary can be found here: http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2011801

  14. Existing NY State Course CodesELA 3-8 Use only these in 2012-2013 X

  15. Tips and suggestions Secondary vs. Prior-to-Secondary ? • Generally, secondary courses will earn high school credits • Review the introductions and information about the NCES coding structure

  16. Tips and suggestions • IMPORTANT: Remember that in addition to state course codes local course codes and local titles will be collected and used in reporting. Schools do not have to adopt state codes….merely map to them • FIRST: Map ‘courses ending in state exams’ to required state course codes (no options)

  17. Tips and suggestions • Be positive • Share the May 2011 memo • Schools should focus (limit craziness) • Download both the Secondary and Prior-to-Secondary SCED • Have print copies of both the Secondary and Prior-to-Secondary SCED • Do your best – perfection is not possible, but excellence is

  18. Tips and suggestions • Secondary: read course descriptions • It’s okay to use ‘other’ • Take your time; but don’t wait until the last minute • Refer to official NYSED web pages • Email questions, feedback, and suggestions • Hold new course code suggestions until next year

  19. Next Steps • Schools start mapping • NYSED rep meets with Big 5 and RIC SIS support teams • Share feedback, questions, and suggestions • Field Workgroup meets in June • Other?
