This metric is part of the Education-to-Workforce (E-W) Indicator Framework, specifically “Outcomes and milestones” which pertain to key outcomes and milestones along the E-W continuum that are strongly associated with individuals accessing mobility in relationships that help them further their goals.
This metric (percentage of individuals demonstrating social proficiency on a performance assessment) is a measurement for a key indicator, “(Social Awareness),” and measures whether students are able understand others’ perspectives; understand social and ethical norms for behavior; and recognize family, school, and community resources and supports.
CEDS elements are shown in bold/italicized font and CEDS options are shown in italics.
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the school year for which the data will be measured:
1. Academic Year Designator = most recent school year, representing July 1 through June 30
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of students:
1. Pull all unique students which is determined by using a unique Person Identifier where Has Person Identifier Type = Student Identifierand Has Person Identification System = State
2. Where the Student:
a. is associated with a Postsecondary Institution through the Organization Identifier where the Organization Identifier Type = Office of Postsecondary Education Identifier
b. Has Role = PS Student
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of workforce participants:
1. Pull all unique students which is determined by using a unique Person Identifier where Has Person Identifier Type = Person Identifierand Has Person Identification System = State
2. Has Role = Employee
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the year for which the workforce participant is employed:
1. Employment End Date ≥ July 1 or null, or when the most recent fiscal year for your organization begins
From the universe of students and workforce participants, narrow the list to identify which students and workforce participants are demonstrating social proficiency on a performance assessment using the following CEDS elements:
1. Assessment Identifier or Assessment Short Name or Assessment Title =
a. The National Work Readiness Credential Essential Soft Skills assessment, or
b. An assessment of similar degree
2. Assessment Level for Which Designed= Postsecondary (PS), Adult Education (AE), Workforce (W)
3. Assessment Type= Performance assessment
4. Assessment Administration Finish Date is within the Academic Year Designator for postsecondary students and before the Employment End Date for workforce participants
5. Proficiency Status = Proficient
For Postsecondary Students:
- Divide the number of students that are demonstrating social proficiency on a performance assessment by the total number of students who took the assessment. Multiply by 100.
For Workforce Participants:
- Divide the number of workforce participants that are demonstrating social proficiency on a performance assessment by the total number of workforce participants who took the assessment. Multiply by 100.
