Please share with your KCC data staff.
Several changes have occurred to
the federal 21st CCLC reporting process that have altered some of
the pick list options when creating activities for your program in Kids Care
Center (KCC).
We recognize that many of you offer activities related to
STEM. Since STEM has never been an official subject for 21CCLC—your
options are math and science—we have not added STEM as a subject. Current
state and federal reporting requires grades for math and science classes as
well as MAP scores that reflect separate math and science components.
This actually aligns better with your outcome reporting since school day
classes and grades most often reflect math and science separately. Note:
when you assign an activity as a math or science subject, KCC will count it as
STEM for any purposes where STEM reporting is necessary. The category you
should select for STEM activities should be ‘academic enrichment’ or homework
help or tutoring or some combination of those categories.
Many of the
other category classifications have been removed by the Federal Department of
Education or they retitled them for easier data analysis purposes.
We
also realize it is confusing to have a list with items indicating “do not
use”. This is because historically data was tied to those items and to just
remove them now since they are no longer applicable would actually remove
historical data associated to those.
We apologize for any inconvenience this
may cause.
