9. HR Coding Reminders • If a teacher works with elementary and secondary level students, create two detail records. • If teacher passed a CO test, data will come from licensing database (do not use “state core content test administered”). • General 7th/8th Grade (subject area code = 0015) is run through elementary HQ determinations. • If secondary sped teacher is sole provider use appropriate subject area code. If not, use 1700. • If secondary sped teacher works exclusively with CSAP-A students (subject area = 0070), then run through elementary HQ determinations.

10. HR Coding Reminders (cont.) • Make sure “years of experience” is correct. This is the only way to trigger a HOUSSE rubric. • Subject area code – 0695 -- for foreign languages that do not have an endorsement . These will not run through HQ determinations. • Clearer admin/instructional codes for migrant, Indian, bilingual, ESL, GT, Immigrant and remedial education teachers • Example: ESL is primary teacher of reading. Teacher needs to be HQ. Use code = 0011. • Example: ESL teacher provides follow-up instruction in reading. Teacher does not need to be HQ. Use code = 1011. Added 2008-09 Added 2008-09
