  2. Agenda • SCED Course Codes • Discuss FAQs submitted after VESIS and through ResultsHelp • Questions?

  3. SCED Course Codes

  4. SCED Background • National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) published these codes so that school divisions could use them for reporting longitudinal data • SCED allows for the standardization of reporting courses across schools, divisions and states • More courses identified than in the Virginia Course Codes • Two manuals: Prior to Secondary and Secondary SCED Codes

  5. SCED Subject Area • First two digits of the SCED Code • Examples: 73 – Non-scheduled class (Prior to Secondary) 01 – English (Secondary) • Identifies the type of course being taught • This field is mandatory even if you are using VA Course Codes in the Master Schedule Collection!

  6. SCED Identifier • Second part of the SCED code (three-digits) • Examples: (53)231 – Grade 1 Science (04)056 – AP European History • Courses descriptions are general, but with enough specificity to clearly identify the course from other courses in the subject area

  7. SCED Course Level • Indicates the level of rigor for a course • Five options • B = Basic/Remedial • G = General/Regular • E = Enriched/Advanced • H = Honors • X = No specified level of rigor • Divisions may identify what course level best identifies each course they offer • Most courses will be G = General/Regular

  8. SCED Course Credit • For Secondary courses • Identifies the amount of Carnegie unit credit available for the course • Must have the decimal in the field (x.xx format) • Examples: • 1.00 – English 11 course • 0.50 – Keyboarding course

  9. SCED Grade Span • For Prior-to-Secondary courses • Four digit code • First two digits indicate the lowest grade level that the course would be appropriate for • Last two digits indicate the highest grade level that the course would be appropriate for • Most courses will have the same grade level for the highest and lowest grade level identified • Examples: • Grade 2: 0202 • VA Studies taught in both 4th and 5th grades: 0405

  10. SCED Sequence • Describes how divisions may “break up” the curriculum of a course • Report “part n of m parts” • Will vary across the state as divisions teach different courses differently • Examples: • Algebra I could have a sequence of “1 1” in one school division but a “1 2” (or “2 2”) in another school division • Carpentry I could have a sequence of “1 3” in a school that teaches all three levels but a “1 2” in a school that only teaches two levels

  11. SCED Sequence Please clarify how we identify if a course needs to have a SCED Sequence other than 1 1. • Used for semester/trimester classes or other classes broken into parts • Example: Algebra I or World History • If SCED Code is the same in the crosswalk for different levels of the course, a sequence would be used • Example: CTE Courses like Masonry I-III (all SCED Code 17008) • No need to use sequence other than 1 1 for courses already broken down by SCED • Example: Spanish I

  12. SCED Reporting • In order to transition from VA Course Codes to SCED in the IPAL, some procedures have been put into place • These procedures ensure that your division’s Highly Qualified status is not jeopardized in the reporting of SCED

  13. SCED Procedures • Use the SCED/VA Course Code crosswalk to identify the SCED codes for the courses that align to VA Course Codes • If there is no VA Course Code for a course your division offers, go into the SCED manual and choose the SCED Code that best aligns to your course • Send the SCED Code and Course Name to ResultsHelp • EIM will forward these courses to Licensure and Instruction so they can identify license endorsements needed for the course in order to correctly report IPAL

  14. Frequently Asked Questions

  15. Reporting Teachers DOE has said we only have to report one teacher per section. Does this mean we don’t have to report collaborative teachers in the D Record? • Every teacher (with the exception of those teaching in regional programs) needs to have a B and at least one D Record • Collaborative teachers should be reported in the D Record with the courses they teach. However, students may not be linked to these teachers in the F Record this year

  16. Reporting Central Office Personnel Should we report Central Office personnel on the Master Schedule Collection? • Central Office Personnel do NOT need to be reported in the Master Schedule Collection • These personnel will be reported in the IPAL survey on SSWS

  17. Highly Qualified Teachers Who will be responsible for the Highly Qualified status of the staff at regional centers? We are responsible for reporting their information but will it affect us if these teachers aren’t highly qualified? • No, it will not affect the division’s Highly Qualified status as long as you report correctly • Make sure you report regional program information with the regional program’s serving division and school codes!

  18. Full Time Equivalent The FTE is in the B Record of IPAL. Which assignment does this refer to since the assignments are in the D Record? • The FTE is the total amount of time that the teacher spends in the classroom teaching all subjects • Example: • A teacher teaches Chorus in the morning (0.5 FTE) at a middle school and in the afternoon (0.5 FTE) in the high school 0.5 + 0.5 = 1.00

  19. Summer School Since we don’t offer summer school, some of our students attend summer schools offered by neighboring counties. Who includes this information on the MSC? • The LEA that is hosting the summer school will report all the students who are enrolled in the course, even if they are from outside the division • Example: • Students from Frederick County take summer school in Clarke County. Clarke County will report the summer school classes/teachers/students even if some of the students are from Frederick County.

  20. Dual Enrollment Reporting We contract with a community college for dual enrollment courses. The student takes the class at their home school and tuition is paid by the county. The teacher is a teacher employed by the county and teachers both dual enrollment and regular courses. How would the D/E Records be reported? • The E Record is not required since the employee is employed by the school division and has a license

  21. Dual Enrollment Scenario A student is taking dual enrollment Biology I at Thomas Dale High School (0610) in Chesterfield County (021). This class is offered through John Tyler Community College but is taught by a Thomas Dale HS teacher. C Record D Record

  22. Dual Enrollment Scenario A student is taking dual enrollment Biology at Thomas Dale High School (0610) in Chesterfield County (021). This class is offered through John Tyler Community College but is taught by a Thomas Dale HS teacher. F Record

  23. Elementary SCED Codes How should we report Elementary SCED codes for scheduled classes? • Use the SCED codes available in the Prior to Secondary SCED manual • Example: 2nd grade (VA Course Code: 0002) • Reading: SCED Code 51042 • Language Arts: 51030 • Math: 52032 • Science: 53232 • Social Studies: 54432 • SCED reporting procedures apply to Elementary Courses!

  24. Elementary School Scenario A student is enrolled in a 2nd Grade Reading class at Hillsville Elementary School (1170) in Carroll County (018). There is not a specific VA Course Code for this subject. C Record D Record

  25. Elementary School Scenario A student is enrolled in a 2nd Grade Reading class at Hillsville Elementary School (1170) in Carroll County (018). There is not a specific VA Course Code for this subject. F Record

  26. Pre-K Reporting How should we report Pre-Kindergarten classes? Do we need to report Pre-K students in the MSC? • Report Pre-K classes and teachers, but not students • Use the SCED code for a non-scheduled Pre-Kindergarten class (73029)

  27. Pre-K Reporting Scenario This record is for a Pre-Kindergarten class at Harry E. James Elementary School (0140) in Hopewell City (114). No F Records are required for this record. C Record D Record
