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.
PS - 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 academic year for which the data will be measured for Postsecondary students:
1. Academic Year Designator = most recent school year, representing July 1 through June 30
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of Postsecondary students:
2. 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
3. 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
From the universe of students, identify which grade each student is currently enrolled in using the following CEDS elements:
- Enrollment Entry Date is ≥ July 1 of the school being reported
- Enrollment Exit Date is ≤ June 30 of the school year being reported
- Entry Grade Level = Postsecondary (PS)
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of K12 Educational Staff:
1. Pull all unique Postsecondary 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 Postsecondary Educational Staff:
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 Staff
c .IPEDS Occupational Category = Postsecondary Teacher: Instruction, Postsecondary Teacher: Instruction/Research/Public Service, Postsecondary Teacher: Public Service, Postsecondary Teacher: Research, or any other classification that is applicable.
From the universe of students and educational staff, identify which students and educational staff fall within each race and ethnicity category using the following CEDS elements:
- Disaggregate by Race and Ethnicity for students and for educational staff.
Calculation Instructions:
For each race/ethnicity group:
- Divide the number of students in a group by the total number of students. Multiply by 100.
- Divide the number of educational staff in a group by the total number of educational staff. Multiply by 100.
- Report student 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 student percentage)
