Here are the Clarifying Objectives by Course Outcomes (COCOs or CO2s) documents used for standards-based curriculum writing in North Carolina, which is done locally by individual, department, school, or district. These documents have been compiled from the proficiency charts with student outcomes in the North Carolina World Language Standard Course of Study Links to an external site..

Notes:

These materials are downloadable as Word documents so that they can easily be used for curriculum writing and shared among colleagues for collaboration.
Each document also contains the language-specific course code(s) for the course as a reference.
Please use the K-12 Modern World Languages Bridging Document Links to an external site. as a guide to help teachers and administrators create a strong K-12 sequence locally for the program(s) you offer.

Elementary School (ES) Courses

Elementary language courses that build proficiency meet 90 minutes or more per week throughout the year. These are Foreign Language in the Elementary School (FLES) programs.

Elementary courses that do not meet the 90 minutes per week minimum are actually Exploratory Language courses, and they use the course code 12752Z0.

Exit proficiency expectations for FLES program courses are described based on the number of years of study that students have had, and course codes are numbered accordingly:

ES Hebrew (less than 1 year of study) has course code 13402Z0

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the Kindergarten classes, and a grades 3 - 5 program would use it for the 3rd grade classes.

ES Hebrew (1 year of study) is 13402Z1

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the 1st grade classes, and a grades 3 - 5 program would use it for the 4th grade classes.

ES Hebrew (2 years of study) is 13402Z2

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the 2nd grade classes, and a grades 3 - 5 program would use it for the 5th grade classes.

ES Hebrew (3 years of study) is 13402Z3

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the 3rd grade classes.

ES Hebrew (4 years of study) is 13402Z4

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the 4th grade classes.

ES Hebrew (5 years of study) is 13402Z5

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the 5th grade classes.

ES Hebrew (6 years of study) is 13402Z6

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the 6th grade classes.

Middle School (MS) Courses

Middle school language courses that build proficiency meet 90 minutes per week or more for at least one semester, but do not earn high school credit.

Middle school courses that do not meet the 90 minutes per week minimum or are of short duration, such as 6-week or 9-week rotations, are actually Exploratory Language courses, and they use the course code 12752Y0.

Exit proficiency expectations for middle school courses are described based on the number of years of study that students have had, and course codes are numbered accordingly:

MS Hebrew Beginning (less than 1 year of study) has course code 13402Y0

Examples: A grades 6 - 8 program would use this code for the 6th grade class(es), and a grades 7 - 8 program would use it for the 7th grade class(es).

MS Hebrew Beginning (1 year of study) is 13402Y1

Examples: A grades 6 - 8 program would use this code for the year-long 6th grade class(es), and a grades 7 - 8 program that offers one semester per year would use it for the 8th grade class(es).

MS Hebrew Continuing (2 years of study) is 13402Y2

Examples: A grades 6-8 program would use this code for the year-long 7th grade class(es).

MS Hebrew Continuing (3 years of study) is 13402Y3

Examples: A grades 6-8 program would use this code for the year-long 8th grade class(es).

Middle schools can also offer high school credit courses to their students. In Hebrew, Levels I - IV can be offered and are available for the Credit by Demonstrated Mastery (CDM) process Links to an external site.. Please see the details below in the High School Courses section.

High School (HS) Courses

High school courses are part of articulated, sequenced, language-focused programs that develop proficiency in the modern language, provide the credits students need to meet and exceed college entrance requirements, and have proficiency level outcomes for each communication mode and culture that are adjusted based on language acquisition research and language type (alphabetic, logographic, visual).

Note:

Middle schools have flexibility to offer high school credit courses over two academic years, so that students take Part A one year and Part B the following year to receive the full credit. The course codes for those options are included in the documents below.

Hebrew I has course code 13412X0

Hebrew II is 13422X0

Levels III - VIII are inherently advanced courses and assigned honors-level weighting per State Board of Education policy GRAD-009 Links to an external site.. These courses can be traditional language and literature curricula or be designed as courses that are linked to career and technical education, student career interests, etc. such as language for specific purpose courses, interpreter or translator certification courses, DL/I courses, or languages across the curriculum courses.

Hebrew III Honors has course code 13435X0

Hebrew IV Honors is 13445X0

Hebrew V Honors is 13455X0

Hebrew VI Honors is 13465X0

Hebrew VII Honors is 13475X0
Hebrew VIII Honors is 13485X0

Heritage Language Programs

The North Carolina World Language Standard Course of Study Links to an external site. includes two levels of heritage language courses, or what were formerly called native speakers courses, as part of Dual & Heritage Languages. Heritage language courses are designed for students who have home backgrounds in a language other than English or come from other immersion experiences, formal or informal.

Heritage language courses help students bridge into advanced modern language courses, such as Level IV or AP.

Using Spanish as an example for alphabetic languages in the graphic, heritage language students can enroll in Spanish Heritage I and Spanish Heritage II, which is an honors course because it is equivalent to a Level III modern language course in proficiency expectations.

Upon completion of these two courses, students can proceed to Spanish IV and/or Advanced Placement (AP) Spanish Language, where they will be joined by fourth- and/or fifth-year students who are studying Spanish as a modern language.

Heritage Language course alignment to Modern Language courses

Please click on the Heritage Levels I - II Clarifying Objectives by Course Outcomes (COCOs or CO2s) documents to download what you need for standards-based curriculum writing, which include the course codes for Hebrew Heritage courses:

Hebrew Heritage I has course code 13492X0
Hebrew Heritage II Honors is 13505X0

Advanced Learning Programs

World Language programs sometimes incorporate other curricular components such as the College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) Program, Cambridge International Education (CIE), or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme.

These programs are an opportunity for high school students to pursue college level studies while in secondary schools and prepare for the examinations that accompany them. Depending on the exam score a student earns, they may be eligible for college credit and/or qualify for the World Languages portion of the Global Languages Endorsement, NC's Seal of Biliteracy Links to an external site..

Here are the Advanced Learning courses currently being offered in North Carolina for Hebrew:

IB Language B - Hebrew SL is 1I228X0

In recent years, the pre-IB programs offered at the elementary level (Primary Years Programme Links to an external site.) and middle school (Middle Years Programme Links to an external site.) have also grown in popularity and prepare students to be successful at the next level.
