Every high school student must have the opportunity to take at least one computer science course that is aligned to rigorous learning standards of the State Board of Education in accordance with  PA 101-0654, which requires ISBE to develop a list of existing course titles that are recommended for computer science.  \nVirtual computer science courses are offered through the  Illinois Virtual Course Catalog (IVCC) . Specific IVCC courses that meet ISBE’s rigorous computer science learning standards will be designated as such in the course description found on the IVCC webpage.  \nPlease see the  ISBE State Course Catalog for a detailed description of each course listed.  \nThe table below is intended to support districts in the identification of appropriately licensed educators to teach computer science courses and can be used as a guide when deciding who can teach different courses. This table indicates the alignment of endorsement type and course description. The alignment to the computer science course descriptions takes into consideration licensure test content and coursework required for the endorsement.  \n\n|  | Professional Educator License (Endorsements currently available.)\u003Cbr>See page 5 for endorsements issued in 2013 or before. |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Course Name | ISBE Course\u003Cbr>Code | Business,\u003Cbr>Marketing &\u003Cbr>Computer\u003Cbr>Education** | Business,\u003Cbr>Marketing &\u003Cbr>Computer\u003Cbr>Programming | Computer\u003Cbr>Science | Computer\u003Cbr>Applications* | Technology\u003Cbr>Specialist | Technology\u003Cbr>Education\u003Cbr>(Industrial Arts) |\n| AP Computer Science A | 10157A000 |  | 3 | 3 | 3* | 3 |  |\n| AP Computer\u003Cbr>Science Principles | 10161A000 |  | 3 | 3 | 3* | 3* |  |\n| Area Network Design and Protocols | 10103A000 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3* | 3 | 3 |\n| Business Programming | 10151A000 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3* |  |  |\n| C++ Programming | 10154A000 | 3* | 3* | 3 | 3* |  |  |\n| CISCO – The Panduit Network Infrastructure Essentials (PNIE) | 10255A000 |  | 3* | 3 | 3* |  |  |\n| Computer\u003Cbr>Forensics | 10301A000 |  | 3 | 3 | 3* |  |  |\n| Computer Gaming and Design | 10205A000 |  |  | 3 | 3* |  | 3 |\n\n*Educators should have a transcript with at least one course with intensive instruction aligned to the content of the 9-12 computer science course for assignability.
