What is CEDS?

2. What isCEDS?

3. 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

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

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

17. CEDS LogicalData Model Comprised of 2 distinct views: • Domain Entity Schema (DES) • A hierarchy of domains, entities, attribute categories, and attributes organizing and assigning elements to specific entities • Used primarily by people as an index to search, map, and organize elements • Normalized Data Schema (NDS) • The NDS Logical Model provides a standard framework for integration of P-20 data systems through a well-normalized “operational data store” • NDS factors the entities and attributes of the DES with standard technical syntax and 3rd normal form
