182 2 Subject Fields and Assignment Code Descriptions The basic course code consists of a 5-digit number, with the first 2 digits corresponding to the subject area to which that course belongs. These 2 digits provide the user with a logical link to the subject fields that are used to further describe the course. An alphabetic ordering by subject is used in assigning the subject area codes (e.g., Elementary = 00, English Language and Literature = 01, Mathematics = 02, Life and Physical Sciences =03). The last 3 digits of the basic assignment code correspond to the order of courses as described within the subject area. Although rigorous procedures are not used to order courses within the subject areas, courses are grouped according to topics and skills covered within the courses. In most instances numbers are used consistently to denote certain characteristics of the courses. Assignment codes have been grouped into the following subject fields and should be taught by certified staff holding the proper teaching credentials. Some codes have been moved, replaced or amended and may not fit this structure, (i.e., 07. Humanities) Assignment codes for grades 6, 7 and 8 are also located in these subject matter areas but “5” has been added to the 1st digit of the subject field (e.g. English Language and Literature for grades 9-12 = 01; English Language and Literature for grades 5-9 = 51). 00: Elementary Education 11: Communications and Audio/Visual Technology 01: English Language and Literature 12: Business and Marketing 02: Mathematics 13: Manufacturing 03: Life and Physical Science 14: Health Care Sciences 04: Social Science (History, Economics, American 17: Architecture and Construction Government/Political Science,
