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.

(See Section 103 of the McKinney Act for a more detailed description of this data element). Proposing new DES location: Workforce> Workforce Program Participant > Status

Use Case Background Provide information related to why these changes/additions are needed. The Workforce Workgroup proposes the addition of the “Homelessness Status” data element to the Workforce domain. In addition, the workgroup proposes a change in the definition to remove references to “student”. This change allows Homeless Status to apply to all domains outside of a school setting. We need to know this information because many Workforce Programs have enrollment requirements, of which this may be one. Additionally, individuals who are homeless may have additional challenges meeting program requirements or attaining family sustaining employment, may require additional case management services or accommodations, may be more transitory, and may have different program outcomes.
