4 / 2015 PIMS Manual v1.0 Page 2 Volume 2 Release Date 8/19/2014 Pennsylvania Information Pennsylvania Department Management System of Education Appendix A – Course Codes For each course code collected in PIMS, PDE will indicate if the Course is a core content course. All core content courses are subject to Highly Qualified Teacher (HQT) requirements and are associated with one of the core content subject areas including: English, Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, Sciences, Foreign Languages, Music and Art, and Social Studies (history, economics, geography, and civics and government). Five-digit secondary course codes were adopted from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) common classification system for secondary courses in the United States. Information, including course descriptions, is available in the Secondary School Course Classification System: School Codes for Exchange of Data (SCED), NCES 2007-341. SCED is part of the NCES data handbook series and is published as a searchable electronic database, Handbooks Online. Copy and paste this address in your browser: http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2007341 or go to http://nces.ed.gov/programs/handbook and search for SCED. Only submission of core-content courses is required. Submission of all other course data is optional. Optional course data submitted by LEAs will be stored in the PIMS data warehouse, but will not be used in support of School Performance Profiles, Educator Effectiveness, or HQT. Core-content and courses that contribute to the SPP are indicated with an “X” in the applicable column. The SPP column is specific to the Course Rigor section of the SPP. Note that school-level PVAAS is also included in the SPP, but is not indicated in this appendix. 2014 / 2015 PIMS Manual v1.0 Page 3 Volume 2 Release Date 8/19/2014
