KCCMS/EDCS/KIDS-SCRS/Pathways Presentation

 

In January 2012, KSDE offered a joint informational presentation incorporating KSDE representatives from Kansas Course Codes (KCCMS), Teacher Education and Licensure (EDCS/LPR), Kansas Individual Data on Students (KIDS), and Career and Technical Education (Pathways). The presentation was intended to bring the shared reporting components of each application together and provide a greater understanding of how they are all interconnected.

Below is the PowerPoint shared during the presentation along with a recording of the presentation for those unable to attend. There is also a complied list of questions and responses gathered during those presentations.
