  1. Common Education Data Standards (CEDS) and EDFacts…What’s Next Jack Buckley, Commissioner – NCES Ross Santy, Director – EDFactsU.S. Department of Education 2012 MIS Conference

  2. What is CEDS? • A national collaborative effort to develop voluntary, common data standards for a key set of education data elements • A vocabulary including standard definitions, option sets & technical specifications to streamline sharing and comparing Voluntary Common Vocabulary CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  3. CEDS 2.0 - Overview • A Robust & Expanding Voluntary Common Vocabulary drawn from existing sources • Powerful Stakeholder Tools & Models • Logical Data Model • Data Alignment Tool CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  4. CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  5. What is EDFacts? • U.S. Department of Education initiative to consolidate and streamline the collection of preK-12 demographic, performance and outcome data. • Mission is to provide a comprehensive set of data that is fit for use by USED program offices, NCES and the public. • Technical Systems Management • EDFacts Submission System (ESS) • Been collecting data since 2003-04 • Recently launched 8.x series of releases enabling collection of data on school year 2011-12 • Reporting and Metadata Systems • Improved USED-wide governance of its asset of preK-12 performance data CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  6. Connections between CEDS and EDFacts • CEDS Version 1.0: • Not developed with a focus on federal reporting • CEDS elements leveraged EDFacts definitions and data structures where appropriate • If that aggregate statistic had a category set with specific permitted values, those values were considered when defining the CEDS element • CEDS Version 2.0 • Explicit goal to ensure that all elements required for federal reporting were included • Work between EDFacts and CEDS teams to ensure alignment of data structures and coverage of EDFacts data groups CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  7. Example of CEDS/EDFacts Connection CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  8. How is CEDS not connected with EDFacts? • CEDS is not an implementation • No tools have been developed under CEDS to store data at the unit record or aggregate level • CEDS defines the data elements and data structures that would be necessary within a data system in order for it to serve as a source system and meet EDFacts reporting needs • CEDS does not prescribe a physical implementation for states or LEAs • CEDS is not a data transmission technology • CEDS does not provide standards for the aggregation or transmission of data from LEA to SEA systems, or from SEA to USED systems • SEA staff still need to build and submit files of aggregate data to EDFacts CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  9. Getting from CEDS to EDFacts • CEDS Elements • Student descriptors • School/LEA enrollment • Classroom/course descriptors • EDFacts Data Groups • Data Group 39: Student Membership • By Grade, by Sex, by Race/Ethnicity • Data Group 74: IDEA Child Count • By Disability, by Educational Environment • Data Group 636: Migrant Education Program Students Served – Regular Year CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  10. Implications of CEDS v2.0 for EDFacts • Mapping for every data group • CEDS provides a common framework for discussing the specific unit record elements which would be necessary for an SLDS to adequately serve as a source system for EDFacts reporting. • Initial mapping associates CEDS elements with one or more EDFacts data groups. • Example: Data Group 39 (Student Membership) depends upon the presence of (at least) the following CEDS elements: • Enrollment Status • Sex • American Indian or Alaska Native • Asian…. CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  11. Example of CEDS v2.0 for EDFacts CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  12. Mapping Elements vs. Defining Indicators • ED has mapped CEDS v2.0 elements to EDFacts Data Groups • Which CEDS elements would be necessary within the SLDS to report a specific EDFacts data group? • How many EDFacts data groups leverage each specific CEDS element? • ED has NOT defined the EDFacts data groups as indicators within the CEDS structures • CEDS v2.0 does not provide states or local school districts with aggregation routines or formulas for calculating an EDFacts data group. • The exact process used by SEAs to leverage the specific CEDS elements mapped to an EDFacts data group is still subject to state specific flexibility.

  13. Ways CEDS v2.0 can help LEAs and SEAs with EDFacts • Verification that unit level data elements needed for generating federal reporting requirements are included within SLDS • Provides a structure for consistent conversations about how CEDS elements are used to generate EDFacts data elements • Enables objective analysis of how multiple SEAs are building the data files needed for federal reporting • Offers the ability to directly align source systems to EDFacts through the CEDS Alignment Tool CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  14. Ways CEDS v2.0 can help ED program offices with EDFacts • Enables more detailed guidance on specific data groups and file specifications • Promotes detailed conversation about what elements are already implemented within state systems • Seeks to reduce reporting burden by leveraging existing state data capabilities before defining new data groups within EDFacts CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  15. Ideas for the future • CEDS 3.0 • Early Learning: policy question support, professional development, child outcomes, and federal alignment • K12:CCSS assessment, teaching & learning, implementation support, record exchange • Postsecondary: furthering IPEDS support (CMSS), faculty/staff, price/tuition, Complete College America • Additional Areas: Workforce, CTE, Adult Ed • Tools: Use Case Generator, Alignment Tool Support CEDS and EDFacts...What's Next?

  16. Ideas for the future • Policy/Use Case Generator - Example

  17. Ideas for the future • Policy/Use Case Generator - Example

  18. Ideas for the future • Use CEDS to manage a better process for designing new reporting elements within EDFacts • Improve USED program office understanding of what data are and are not available within state systems • Design the reporting requirement from the CEDS element definitions • Recent example: SFSF Reporting • Clarified documentation within future OMB clearance packages • Explicit acknowledgement of when a new reporting requirement would depend upon a new CEDS element • Other ideas???
