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 (Same-race student–teacher ratio 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 - Same-race student–teacher ratio 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:

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

From the universe of students, 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 = Postsecondary (PS)

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of Postsecondary Teachers:  

1. Pull all unique Postsecondary Teachers 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 Teacher:
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 postsecondary organization through the Organization Identifier where Has Organization Identification System = SEA or LEA or School and Has Organization Identifier Type = School Identifier
3. Has Role = PS Staff
4. IPEDS Occupational Category = Postsecondary Teacher: Instruction, Postsecondary Teacher: Instruction/Research/Public Service, Postsecondary Teacher: Public Service, Postsecondary Teacher: Research

From the universe of students and teachers, identify which students and teachers have the same-race student–teacher ratio by race and ethnicity using the following CEDS elements:

1. Disaggregate by Race and Ethnicity for students and for teachers.

Calculation Instructions:

For each race/ethnicity group:

1. Divide the number of students in a group by the total number of students. Multiply by 100.
2. Divide the number of teachers in a group by the total number of teachers. Multiply by 100.
3. Create a ratio for student-to-teachers for each race/ethnicity group.

(Ex: 2% of student are American Indian or Alaska Native and 8% of teachers are American Indian or Alaska Native. Then, create student-to-teacher ratio, which is 2:8. To finalize the ratio, find the lowest common denominator, which makes the ratio 1:4.).
