Analysis Recommendations Label 1

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

This metric (Educational staff composition by race and ethnicity (%) compared to student composition by race and ethnicity (%)) is a measurement for a key indicator, “(Representational Racial and Ethnic Diversity of Educators),” and measures whether educators reflect the racial and ethnic diversity of the student body.

Pre-K - Educational staff composition by race and ethnicity (%) compared to student composition by race and ethnicity (%)

Calculating a Response:

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the school year for which the data will be measured for Pre-K students:

1.      Early Learning Program Year = most recent school year, representing July 1 through June 30

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of children:  

1.      Pull all unique children which is determined by using a unique Person Identifier where Has Person Identifier Type = Child Identifierand Has Person Identification System = State

2.      Where the child:

a.      is associated with a State Education Agency through the Organization Identifier where Has Organization Identification System = SEA and Has Organization Identifier Type = State Education Agency Identifier

b.      is associated with a Local Education Agency through the Organization Identifier where Has Organization Identification System = SEA or LEA and Has Organization Identifier Type = Local Education Agency Identifier

c.      is associated with a Pre-K school through the Organization Identifier where Has Organization Identification System = SEA or LEA or School and Has Organization Identifier Type = School Identifier

d.      Has Role = EL Child

From the universe of children, identify which grade each student is currently enrolled in using the following CEDS elements:

1.      Enrollment Entry Date is ≥ July 1 of the school being reported

2.      Enrollment Exit Date is ≤ June 30 of the school year being reported

3.      Entry Grade Level = Prekindergarten (PK)

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of Pre-K Educational Staff:  

1. Pull all unique Pre-K Educational Staff which is determined by using a unique Person Identifier where Has Person Identifier Type = Staff Member Identifier and Has Person Identification System = State
2. Where the Pre-K Educational Staff:
1. is associated with a State Education Agency through the Organization Identifier where Has Organization Identification System = SEA and Has Organization Identifier Type = State Education Agency Identifier
2. is associated with a Local Education Agency through the Organization Identifier where Has Organization Identification System = SEA or LEA and Has Organization Identifier Type = Local Education Agency Identifier
3. is associated with a Pre-K school through the Organization Identifier where Has Organization Identification System = SEA or LEA or School and Has Organization Identifier Type = School Identifier
4. Has Role = EL Staff
5. K12 Staff Classification = Early Learning Assistant Teachers, Early Learning Teachers, Pre-kindergarten Teachers, School Counselors, School Administrators, School Administrative Support Staff, or any other classification that is applicable.

From the universe of children and educational staff, identify which children and educational staff fall within each race and ethnicity category using the following CEDS elements:

1. Disaggregate by Race and Ethnicity for children and for educational staff.

Calculation Instructions:

For each race/ethnicity group:

1. Divide the number of children in a group by the total number of children. Multiply by 100.
2. Divide the number of educational staff in a group by the total number of educational staff. Multiply by 100.
3. Report children and educational staff percentages side by side by race and ethnicity group.

(States or districts may optionally calculate a representation ratio. Ex: Educational staff percentage divided by the children percentage)
