Academic Program Detail Editor Fields

This table defines the available fields on the Academic Program Detail Editor. Fields may vary by state.

Field

Description

Program

Required

Selection indicates the graduation program assigned to the student. Only those programs that are marked active and whose Cohort Years fields are empty or cover the student's NCLB Cohort Year fields are included in this.

If the student is assigned to a program that has since been marked as inactive, that program displays at the end of the Program list in red text.

Start Date

Required

Entered date reflects the date the student began working towards achievement in the program. Dates are entered in mmddyy format or the calendar icon can be selected to choose a date.

End Date

Indicates the date the student stopped working towards achievement in the program. Dates are entered in mmddyy format or the calendar icon can be selected to choose a date.

Student Status

Indicates the participation level of the student - (1) Participant, (2) Concentrator, (3) Completer.

In some states, the options available for selection are defined by the state and may differ from the options listed above.

Selection of these is often determined by federal CTE definitions, and is used in state reports.

Non-Traditional Participation

This checkbox indicates the student is participating in a program that is often outside of the norms of the program's general makeup, based on gender, race or age. An example is a male student enrolled in a program that is often dominated by females in the workforce (daycare, nursing, etc.).

This is not a required selection, but does help with data analysis.

Teaching Method Selection indicates how the student is instructed, or how the student learns the necessary items involved in the career/technical ed program.
Flag If the Academic Program is marked as Flagged and assigned a Flag Image, an image displays in this column and next to the student's name. If there is no flag assigned, nothing displays in this column.
