Did anyone read in the weekly state superintendents letter about this new system. It seems it's going to affect all high schools (thank God I am K-8). Here is an excerpt:
"District staff will match local course numbers to corresponding Secondary School Course Classification System: School Codes for the Exchange of Data codes, provided by the National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data, which can be located at http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2007341, and create a crosswalk. This NCES data handbook outlines a system for assigning standard codes to secondary school courses in 22 major subject areas. It also includes a content description for each course and instructions on how to use the system in coding courses. Following the crosswalk will be data submitted by July 30, 2011."
