Understanding CEDS: The Need for Common Education Data Standards

The Common Education Data Standards (CEDS) initiative is a national collaborative effort aimed at establishing voluntary, comprehensive data standards for essential education data elements across the P-20 spectrum. CEDS facilitates the sharing and comparison of accurate, timely, and consistent data among various stakeholders. By providing a common vocabulary with standard definitions, options, and technical specs, CEDS enables effective decision-making and enhances the quality of education data collection. Discover why CEDS is critical for the education community and who is involved in this vital initiative.

  2. Why CEDS? 101 • What are Common Standards? • What is CEDS? • Why do we need it? • Who’s involved? • What does it provide?

  3. Common Standards What are we talking about?

  4. A language is a standardform of communication. Humans speak many different languages. But, there are certain things we allneed to understandandcommunicate. For these, we need a common language.

  5. FOR EXAMPLE: Sign symbols Imagine... You arrive at an airportin a foreign city where an unfamiliar language is spoken.

  6. How do you find your way? Universal travel sign symbols. Developed in late 1970s to aid wayfinding. http://www.flickr.com/photos/japanesepod101/3974042578 http://www.flickr.com/photos/japanesepod101/3974018590

  7. Common Education Data Standards What are we talking about?

  8. Data standard: an agreed upon set of data names, definitions, options & technical specs Education institutions across P-20usemanydifferent data standards. But, there are certain data we allneed to understand,compare & exchange. For these, we need a common education data standard.

  9. FOR EXAMPLE: Demographic data Imagine... A childfrom Early Learning Program A also enrolls in Early Intervention Part C services that may use a different education data standard.

  10. Here’s a child: Matthe SmithIII Race = Guamanian Gender = M Hmmm… Did you mean: Matthew ? Smith ? Suffix = III ? Race = NHOPI ? Sex = M ? EL Program A Early Intervention

  11. FOR EXAMPLE: Demographic data Imagine... A studentfrom a high school in State Aenrolls in auniversity in State B that uses a different education data standard.

  12. Here’s a new student: Jonatha TsumuraII Race = Japanese Gender = M Hmmm… Did you mean: Jonathan ? Tsumura ? Suffix = II ? Race = Asian ? Sex = M ? High School in state A IHE in state B http://www.flickr.com/photos/squirmelia/247620009 http://www.flickr.com/photos/lmbernhardt71/5628965373

  13. The PINT is: The P-20 community needs a COMMON VOCABULARY for education data.

  14. What is CEDS?

  15. What is CEDS? • A national collaborative effort to develop voluntary, commondata standards for a key set of education data elements • A vocabularyincluding standard definitions, option sets & technical specifications to streamline sharing and comparing Voluntary Common Vocabulary

  16. Why do we need CEDS? Accurate, timely, and consistent data to inform decisionmaking Share & compare high quality data within & across P-20 sectors

  17. is Not: CEDS Required All or nothing A data collection An implementation Solely an ED undertaking A federal unit record system

  24. CEDS Logical Data Model • Provides a high-level framework for translating standards into physical models • System-agnostic representation • 2 distinct views: • Domain Entity Schema • Normalized Data Schema

  25. CEDS Alignment Tool Web-based tool that allows users to: • Import or input their data dictionaries • Aligntheir data to CEDS • Comparethemselves with others • Analyzetheir data in relation to various other CEDS-aligned efforts

  26. CEDS Use Case Generator Tool Builds on the CEDS Alignment Tool and allows stakeholders to: • Generate specificandrelevantmaps to a growing pool of CEDS aligned use cases
