#	Use Case Title	Use Case Description	What to Submit/retrieve
1.0	Course-level participation in career education program Certificated Program participation count for primary enrollment	A course is offered as part of career education program. It could be a CTE course or not a CTE course. Student is participating in that course. At the LEA level, when a course is identified as part of career education program, it is not necessary that all the students taking the course are participating in the program. That is why DPI is expecting LEA and SIS to send student participation in a program and not course association to program In this use case, the student is participating in the career education program. These career education programs are not like a course where it has an outcome at the end of the course. As this is a program it is combination of courses that would be taken in multiple years. That is why career education program has Program Status. So student participation is reported on /studentSectionAssociation Student program status is reported on /StudentCTEProgramAssociation	Via API submit student participation on /StudentSectionAssociation AND Certificated Program Status for each program on /SCTEPA Example of IRC program: Via API submit Program reference on /studentsectionAssociation Program reference [{ programtypeDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/ProgramTypeDescriptor#CE" Program Name: IRC } AND Via API submit Certificated Program Status on /studentCTEProgramAssociation for each certified program name. /studentCTEProgramAssociation programtypeDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/ProgramTypeDescriptor#certified", programname": IRC "_EXT": { "WI": { "certificatedProgramStatusDescriptor":"uri://dpi.wi.gov/CertificatedProgramStatusDescriptor#b" } Note: Do not submit certificated program status for Certified program on /grades from 21-22SY
2.0	Non-course level participation in career education program No-Certified Work-based learning	Student is not taking any courses offered as part of career education. However, he/she is doing some field work or could be any other form of study that qualifies the student to be a participant of the career education program So student program status is reported on /SCTEPA	See JSON sample below.
3.0	Certified Work-based learning (ex. Youth Apprenticeship)	final step certificated program status (Attached to student)	Via API submit /studentCTEProgramAssociation for each certified program name. /studentCTEProgramAssociation programtypeDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/ProgramTypeDescriptor#CE", programname": Youth Apprenticeship "_EXT": { "WI": { "certificatedProgramStatusDescriptor":"uri://dpi.wi.gov/CertificatedProgramStatusDescriptor#b" }
4.0	Reporting Certified and Non-certified career education programs	Both certified and non-certified career education program can be reported at student-level and program-level.	If reported at student level then submit /studentSectionAssociation If reported at program level then submit /SCTEPA
5.0	Student took part in multiple ceritificates under one certified program name.	If a student, at any point doesn't matter how many different certificates under one program name (example IRC) they took part in, finished one or continued in another one, then they put 'Completed' as certificated program status. LEA should submit the best status. Example : Sem 1 - IRC - CNA certificate - completed Sem 2 - IRC - Welding certificate - not completed	For the example in the usecase, Via API submit certificated program status as 'Completed' on /studentCTEProgramAssociation. /studentCTEProgramAssociation programtypeDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/ProgramTypeDescriptor#CE", programname": IRC "_EXT": { "WI": { "certificatedProgramStatusDescriptor":"uri://dpi.wi.gov/CertificatedProgramStatusDescriptor#A" } Note: Do not submit certificated program status for Certified program on /grades from 21-22SY
6.0	Student took part in multiple ceritificates under one certified program name.	If a student, at any point doesn't matter how many different certificates under one program name (example IRC) they took part in, finished one or continued in another one, then they put 'Completed' as certificated program status. LEA should submit the best status. Example : Sem 1 - IRC - CNA certificate - completed Sem 2 - IRC - Welding certificate - not completed	For the example in the usecase, Via API submit certificated program status as 'Completed' on /studentCTEProgramAssociation. /studentCTEProgramAssociation programtypeDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/ProgramTypeDescriptor#CE", programname": IRC "_EXT": { "WI": { "certificatedProgramStatusDescriptor":"uri://dpi.wi.gov/CertificatedProgramStatusDescriptor#A" } Note: Do not submit certificated program status for Certified program on /grades from 21-22SY
7.0	Student has multiple student section associations and participating in program	If a student exit the section and comes back to the same section in the same term, then SIS ends the first student section and creates a new student section with new begin date. On both the student section associate student program participation Example : For section A student left the class and joined back in the same section. Student section A section reference : A Begin date : 07/10/2021 - 08/01/2021 Programs : High School Course with Private College, FLEX Student section B section reference : A Begin date : 07/10/2021 - 08/01/2021 Programs : High School Course with Private College, FLEX	For the example in the usecase , Via API submit High School Course with Private College, FLEX on both the /studentSectionAssociations /studentsectionAssociation A Begin Date : 07/01/2021 End Date : 08/01/2021 Program reference { programtypeDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/ProgramTypeDescriptor#DE" Program Name: High School Course with Private College } { programtypeDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/ProgramTypeDescriptor#WL" Program Name: FLEX } /studentsectionAssociation B Begin Date : 08/10/2021 End Date : Program reference { programtypeDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/ProgramTypeDescriptor#DE" Program Name: High School Course with Private College } { programtypeDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/ProgramTypeDescriptor#WL" Program Name: FLEX }
8.0	When to report Student non-certified program participation	Report non-certified career education programs only if the program meets the following criteria: According to Perkins V, in order for a CBLE to be considered a Work Based Learning, the experience must meet the following criteria: -Involves sustained interactions with industry or community professionals -Takes place in real workplace settings as practicable or simulated environments at an educational institution -Fosters in-depth, firsthand engagement with the tasks required in a given career -Aligns with curriculum and instruction	Informational only.
9.0	Delete usecases
9.1	Delete /SCTEPA	Student participation records can be deleted if entry was a mistake.	Via API delete /studentCTEProgramAssociation for the program that was submitted by mistake.
9.2	Delete /studentsectionAssociation	Delete the dependent resource before deleting the studentsectionAssociation	If grades resource was submitted for student section then first delete /grade and the delete studentsectionAssociation
10.0	Career education data quality checks
10.1	/SCTEPA not reported for student participating in career education program	Student program participation is reported on /studentSection but /SCTEPA is not submitted	In this case DPI will throw a validation error saying student reported as participating in career education program but actual student participation status is not reported on /SCTEPA. A student could be taking multiple sections providing career education program. The group of courses support the program status. The actual student participation in the program with the status is reported on /SCTEPA
11.0	CTE Concentrators
11.1	Report a student who is a CTE concentrator	If student is identified as qualifying for CTE concentrator then submit /SCTEPA For a student who is CTE concentrator also submit the Prorgam Area participation and career pathway Student is always a concentrator in a specific pathway. LEA make sure to identify the career pathway of the student. More than one Program Area can be reported for the CTE concentrators Note : Please confirm the latest CTE concentrator definition with Jessie Sloan	Via API submit /SCTEPA { "educationOrganizationReference": { "educationOrganizationId": 7525 }, "programReference": { "educationOrganizationId": 48856, "programtypeDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/ProgramTypeDescriptor#CTE", "programname": "Career and Technical Education" }, "studentReference": { "studentUniqueId": "8660232105" }, "beginDate": "2020-07-01", "endDate": "2021-06-05", "ctePrograms": [{ "careerPathwayDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/CareerPathwayDescriptor#2", "cipCode": "23.01" }], "_EXT": { "WI": { "cteConcentrationCteProgramAreas": [{ "cteProgramAreaDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/CteProgramAreaDescriptor#H" }] } } }
11.2	Submit single Parent status for concentrator	Single Parent status is required for CTE data reporting and therefore is required for all 11th and 12th grade students.
11.3	CTE Participant	LEA doesnot report the CTE Partcipant. DPI identifies the participant based on the Roster data of the student. A student is identified as a CTE participant in a district if his/her grade level is 9-12, taking at least one CTE course for which the attempt status is sufficient, and passed the course. This calculation looks for Grade level of students between 9-12 Has at least one /studentsectionAssociation resource for the CTE course. That means the student is sitting in at least one CTE course offered by the LEA. On /studentSectionAssociation attempt status on /studentsectionAssociation is Sufficient On /grade resource performance-based conversion type is PASS
12.0	CTE Override
12.1	Submit courses WI flagged as CTE but in the field it is not necessarily offered as a CTE course.	DPI is spinning the courses with CTE flag to have new Roster code with non CTE flag. LEA needs to use the new Roster code. Example is listed here: CTE Override example
12.2	Submit courses not flagged as CTE in DPI course download but LEA offering as CTE.	The local course title matches with non CTE DPI course but CTE licensed teachers are teaching the course so LEA is offering the course as CTE. In this case LEA still has to pick a CTE course that matches the description of the local course offered. We are only spinning the CTE courses to have non CTE identification code not the other way around.
12.3	Vendors who are pulling courses from API	Vendors pulling courses from API need to make sure that new Roster courses code are populated in their SIS with the new identification code
