General Connection Information

CEDS elements are shown in bold font. 

This metric is part of the Education-to-Workforce (E-W) Indicator Framework, specifically “E-W System Conditions” which pertain to key institutional or systemic environments, policies, and practices within E-W systems that support positive E-W outcomes.

Calculating a Response

Metric: Pre-K: Scores on measures of teacher–child interactions, such as the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS), the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale (ECERS) Interactions subscale, or the Assessing Classroom Sociocultural Equity Scale (ACSES) (which assesses equitable classroom interactions) 

Use the following CEDS elements to identify the school year:  

• Early Learning Program Year = the most recent school year or the school year being reported, representing July 1 through June 30. 

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of teachers:?? 

• Pull all unique teachers which is determined by using a unique Staff Member Identifier where Staff Member Identification System = State? 

Where the staff member:? 

• is associated with a State Education Agency through the Organization Identifier where Organization Identification System = SEA
• is associated with a Local Education Agency through the Local Education Agency Identifier where Local Education Agency Identification System = SEA, and
• is associated with a K12 school through the School Identifier where School Identification System = SEA 

From the universe of teachers, determine the teachers’ overall and subscale scores on an observation rubric associated with an educator observation system using the following CEDS elements:  

• Assessment Type = Observation
• Staff Evaluation System = Danielson’s Framework for Teaching, the Marzano Causal Teacher Evaluation Model, or equivalent educator observation system
• To determine the overall score, use Assessment Identifier = overall assessment code
• To determine the subscale score, use Assessment Subtest Identifier = subscale assessment code
• Assessment Result Score Value is not null 

To calculate  

• Using the scores from the overall assessment, identify the First Quartile, Second Quartile, Third Quartile, and the Fourth Quartile. Please note, a quartile is dependent on the number of scores included in the calculation.
• Repeat Step 1 for each subscale assessment.
• For an individual teacher, identify the quartile(s) for their overall and subscale assessments. 

Disaggregate by Race and Ethnicity

Use the following CEDS elements to disaggregate the final set of teachers by Race: 

Filter records where Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity = No.

Count, by race, where any of the following are true:

• Race = American Indian or Alaska Native
• Race = Asian
• Race = Black or African American
• Race = Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
• Race = White
• Race = Demographic Race Two or More Races
• Race = Race and Ethnicity Unknown 

Use the following CEDS element to disaggregate the final set of teachers by Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity: 

• Filter records where Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity = Yes

Disaggregate by Sex

*Note: CEDS does not have a Gender element. While Sex is not a proxy for Gender it is the closest approximation currently available.

*Note: Male + Female will not always equal 100% for states that have more choices beyond male and female.

Use the following CEDS elements to disaggregate the final set of teachers by Sex: 

• Sex = Male, Female, or Not Selected
