Local Course Title Data Collection and Reporting

2010-11 and Beyond

The Local Course Title is a free-form text field which an LEA may choose to use as a better descriptor for the college course title. A Youth Options course section, Local Course Title could contain the course name and number of the college course; for example, "UW-Madison Math 221 Calculus and Analytic Geometry".

• This free-form text field will have a maximum of 100 characters.
• Avoid use of special characters.

USES: Local course title is needed to meet the requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and address existing gaps in the state LDS data sets, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) will build a new student level data collection and begin accumulating new data the first quarter of 2011 and beyond. The main objectives of this effort will be to address 2 key components referenced in ARRA and specified in the America COMPETES Act, the ability to match teachers with students and capture student-level transcript information, including courses completed.
