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.
This is for capturing needs not currently supported by the CEDS model. Please do not send or share actual data as examples in this issue or in attachments.
Use Case Background
The Workforce Workgroup proposes the addition of the “United States Citizenship Status” data element to the Workforce domain (Workforce | Workforce Program Participant | Program Participation). This should be defined as “An indicator of whether or not the person is a US citizen.” Option set should be the same as in https://ceds.ed.gov/element/000299
We need to know this information to incorporate citizenship status into Workforce Program Participant outcomes and economic mobility measures. Disaggregating by these categories will give insight to equity barriers in workforce program participation and help inform policies to help mitigate barriers.
Location of Element in the Domain Entity Schema
