Set up a subject framework for an elementary school
[Applies to elementary schools]
A subject is a set of instructional topics and objectives taught to students, often for the entire school year. A subject element is one component of a complete subject. For example, Science is a subject that is taught to all Grade 4 students for the whole year. Music is a subject taught to all Grade 5 students, but some take the Choir subject element and some take Band.
A School Administrator can view the subject framework available to his or her school [Figure 137]. The administrator can use the framework to make a subject available for scheduling in one or more grade levels and to set up how it can be scheduled.
