FY 2012 CTE Course Changes in the Illinois State Course System (6/11)- EFE Directors Career and Technical Education Update Webinar April 21, 2011
The Illinois State Course System was developed to collect and store Illinois State course information. Only two types of users are able to access the system, ISBE Administrators and Employment for Education (EFE) directors. The reports contained in the Illinois State Course System can also be accessed via the Student Information System (SIS). The State Courses system is divided into the 22 following Subject Areas:
- 01: English Language and Literature
- 02: Mathematics
- 03: Life and Physical Sciences
- 04: Social Sciences and History
- 05: Fine and Performing Arts
- 06: Foreign Language and Literature
- 07: Religious Education and Theology
- 08: Physical, Health, and Safety Education
- 09: Military Science
- 10: Computer and Information Sciences
- 11: Communication and Audio/Visual Technology
- 12: Business and Marketing
- 13: Manufacturing
- 14: Health Care Sciences
- 15: Public, Protective, and Government Service
- 16: Hospitality and Tourism
- 17: Architecture and Construction
- 18: Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources
- 19: Human Services
- 20: Transportation, Distribution and Logistics
- 21: Engineering and Technology
- 22: Miscellaneous
Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses are identified by the Education for Employment (EFE) directors in the Illinois State Course System before Student Course Assignments are entered into the Student Information System (SIS). The EFE directors access the course classification System to identify which courses are awarded CTE funding for districts within their region. Once this identification has taken place for the school year, the school districts can access the courses identified by the EFE Directors using the Student Information System Reports. EFE Directors will use the “CTE Course Alignment tool” for preparation.
