Course Selection

...

One of the most common questions asked when building your master schedule are whether or not you are using the correct courses for your situation.  To assist with this, it is important to determine: 

• Course Length (terms) - there are different course numbers for courses that meet for a quarter, semester, or a year

• Course Length (periods) - courses that meet longer than one traditional period are "block" courses and have their own course number (see block example above

• Course Type - Special Education, ESL, Gifted, VCAP, etc. all have distinct course numbers.  Please make sure that you are using the correct version.  

  • Special Education teachers should only be teaching special education courses

  • ESL teachers should only be teaching ESL coursesCredentials for Special Education and ESL Licenses are different, in most cases these teachers aren't licensed to teach regular ed courses
    

• Please review the Course Numbering Standards page to see how to identify the correct courses by course number
