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.

Adding proposal AccessibleFormatType.docx

aujaleemoore commented 8 months ago

Having a clear definition of Alternate Format that is standard across states is integral to this collection.

brianwojcik commented 8 months ago

It is important to have an element that defines and operationalizes accessible formats that would be used by students with print disabilities. The definitions for the options add needed clarity.

TDJenkinsOK commented 8 months ago

This is an excellent list of elements that need to be added.

annettehyde commented 8 months ago

The list of formats and definitions aligns greatly with our efforts in Iowa to help IEP teams determine AEM needs for students. I think this will be helpful to our work.

These definitions provide clarity and ensure we are speaking a common language. This standardization is essential for future efforts.
