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.

What constitutes an end date? Student no longer needs AEM? Student graduates?

I appreciate having information about whether the materials were issued and when. However, I think a limitation of this element is that it does not capture the usability or use of the alternate formats. For example, was it procured and issued, but not high-quality enough to be used for instruction? For example, even if the braille was procured and issued, was it accurate? Did the student have access to the same instructional content and quality as their peers who are not utilizing an alternate format? This is something I still have wonderings about.

also addressing end date comment of lrondberg- is end date the end of a semester course or school year? would likely impact data collection reliability if collected on a short timeline basis.

Under Section 121, an accessible format issued to an eligible person must be discarded once its use cycle is completed. This was more commonly monitored when the formats were tangible (e.g., books on tape, embossed braille). Present day, accessible formats are primarily digital and therefore less likely to be monitored (e.g., digital files on a Bookshare account).
