A GENDA Purpose of the collection Data elements in MSC Process for completion Deadlines

P URPOSE OF THE C OLLECTION

S TATE F ISCAL S TABILIZATION F UNDS (SFSF) Data collected on MSC satisfies the data requirements of Indicator (b) SFSF information on the VDOE website: ion/index.shtml Specific information about Indicator (b) can be found in the Phase 2 application pages ion/va_sfsf-phase2_application.pdf

I NDICATOR (b)(1) Indicates which of the 12 elements described in section 640(e)(2)(D) of the America COMPETES Act are included in the State’s statewide longitudinal data system; Element 8 – A teacher identifier system with the ability to match teachers to students Element 9 – Student-level transcript information, including information on courses completed and grades earned

I NDICATOR (b)(2) Indicates whether the State provides student growth data on their current students and the students they taught in the previous year to at a minimum, teachers of reading/language arts and mathematics in grades in which the State administers assessments in those subjects in a manner that is timely and informs instructional programs Current Students – Fall collection Students they taught in the previous year – EOY collection Output from MSC will include teacher-level rosters with student growth data included

I NDICATOR (b)(3) Indicates whether the state provides teachers of reading/language arts and mathematics in grades in which the state administers assessments in those subjects with reports of individual teacher impact on student achievement on those assessments. Students they taught in the previous year – EOY collection Output from MSC will include teacher-level rosters with student growth data included

O UTPUT OF MSC-IPAL Student growth data will be made available to school divisions upon a successful data completion and fully verified EOY MSC and Fall MSC-IPAL Getting the teacher rosters with growth data in a timely manner is dependent on completing the EOY MSC IPAL reports that will be available through SSWS Welcome other suggestions for useful reports

C R ECORD

S ECTION ID A locally defined number that identifies a particular section Must be unique within a school Example: Algebra I: Course + Section When coupled with the division and school, a unique identifier for the section is created

W HAT ARE SCED C ODES ? SCED are School Codes for the Exchange of Data 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

W HAT ARE SCED C ODES ? SCED is a means to communicate with the state NO REQUIREMENT for localities to use the SCED for scheduling or in course catalogs When course information is sent to VDOE, use the SCED code to describe the course Time is on your side MSC will accept SCED codes OR existing VA Course Codes for at least two years Without partial adoption, MSC becomes difficult to compile First draft of state crosswalk is complete and available on the MSC website

SCED S UBJECT A REA NCES-assigned number that represents the general context category of the section Examples: 1=English Language & Literature (secondary) 3=Life & Physical Science (secondary) 8=Physical, Health, and Safety Ed (secondary) 51=English Language & Literature (non-secondary) 53=Life & Physical Science (non-secondary) 55=Fine and Performing Arts (non-secondary) 73=NonScheduled Elementary (non-secondary)

SCED C OURSE L EVEL A code to convey the level of rigor of the course Examples: B = Basic or remedial G = General or regular E = Enriched or advanced H = Honors X = No specified level of rigor

SCED A VAILABLE C REDIT OR G RADE S PAN For secondary courses (SCED Subject Areas 1- 22), Available Credit identifies the amount of Carnegie unit credit available Example: 1.00 For non-secondary course (SCED Subject Areas 51-73), Grade Span indicates the grade level for which the course is appropriate. Example: 0305 = Course is appropriate for students in Grades 3-5

SCED S EQUENCE Code to describe the manner in which school systems may "break up" increasingly difficult or more complex information Examples: Floral Design I-II Carpentry I-III Report: part 'n' of 'm' parts 1 1 (part 1 of 1) 1 2 (part 1 of 2)

VA S TATE C OURSE C ODE 4-digit (or 6-digit in some cases) valid course code from list of assignment codes Required if SCED Course Identifier is blank
