Ensuring that an appropriately prepared and endorsed educator is assigned to each classroom is critical for student achievement and provides best practice guidance to support schools with appropriate staff placement.
The School Courses for the Exchange of Data (SCED) Classification System is an essential component of determining appropriate placement. Since the certification and endorsement of a teacher must match the course content being taught, districts must first determine the content of the course. To determine the course content, the district should first identify the SCED Course Title and Description that most closely match the course and then find the course in this menu of webpages for matching endorsement areas.
The matching endorsement areas listed are minimum state requirements. Districts should always consider the professional learning and experiences of an individual in addition to the minimum requirements before placing a teacher in an assignment. When an appropriately certified teacher is not available for the assignment, there are flexibilities available for placement. These are described at the end of this webpage.
