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 Classical 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 Latin (less than 1 year of study) has course code 12402Z0

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 Latin (1 year of study) is 12402Z1

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 Latin (2 years of study) is 12402Z2

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 Latin (3 years of study) is 12402Z3

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

  • ES Latin (4 years of study) is 12402Z4

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

  • ES Latin (5 years of study) is 12402Z5

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

  • ES Latin (6 years of study) is 12402Z6

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 Latin Beginning (less than 1 year of study) has course code 12402Y0

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 Latin Beginning (1 year of study) is 12402Y1

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 Latin Continuing (2 years of study) is 12402Y2

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

  • MS Latin Continuing (3 years of study) is 12402Y3

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 Latin, 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).

Notes:

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.

Community College World Language courses have been crosswalked or aligned to high school courses so that students can be scheduled appropriately into the language sequence. Please see the alignment below for Latin or the High School to Community College Alignment document Links to an external site..

Latin I at a high school and LAT 111 at an early college are equivalent courses.

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 Latin:

  • AP Latin has course code 1A077X0

  • IB Language B - Latin SL is 1I118X0

  • IB Language B - Latin HL is 1I128X0

Additional Resources for Advanced Learning Programs:

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.
