CEDStandards / CEDS-Elements

The Common Education Data Standards (CEDS) are an education data management initiative whose purpose is to streamline the understanding of data within and across P-20W institutions and sectors. CEDS includes a common vocabulary complete with standard elements names, definitions, and option sets. This repository contains all the CEDS elements, definitions, option sets and their definitions, and entities and definitions. Its purpose is to expand that vocabulary to meet the needs of every education stakeholder. The expanded vocabulary is then added to the CEDS Integration Data Store and CEDS Data Warehouse – the other two repositories located here.

Use Case Title Sex (correct to remove references to gender)

Use Case Description The CEDS Postsecondary Workgroup, Student Committee recommends amending the element Sex to disaggregate the constructs of sex from gender. The definition and name state that this element refers to “biological traits that distinguish the males and females…” but the response set refers to “gender.”

The description of the third option set option "Not Selected" should be described as "Sex is unknown" and the current description "Gender is not selected" should be removed.

Use Case Background This data element is typically used across many use cases and contexts. In the near future “gender” is likely to be added as a separate and distinct concept to CEDS, so this element should distinguish between the two.

Location of Element in the Domain Entity Schema Adult Education -> AE Student -> Demographic Career and Technical -> CTE Student -> Demographic Early Learning -> EL Child -> Demographic Early Learning -> EL Staff -> Demographic Early Learning -> Parent/Guardian -> Demographic K12 -> K12 Staff -> Demographic CEDS Element Use Case - Sex (minor revision).docx
