Common Education Data StandardsNCES initiativeA national collaborative effort to develop voluntary, common
data standards for a key set of education data elementsDomains within CEDS
CTE (NEW in V3.0)Adult Education (NEW in V3.0)Workforce (NEW in V3.0)Postsecondary
https://ceds.ed.gov
HistoryV1.0 released in September 2010: almost no CTE engagementV2.0 released in January 2012: the public comment period
received a lot of feedback on CTEFormed a CTE Work GroupV3.0 released in January 2013: included new elements and
revisions relative to CTEV4.0 is in the works
CEDS is NOTRequired: Adoption of CEDS is voluntary.All or nothing: Not all CEDS elements have to be utilized to realize benefits.A data collection: CEDS collects no data.An implementation: There is no single implementation that will work for
every user. Physical implementation decisions will be made by practitioners and solution providers in the field based on their specific objectives.
Solely an ED undertaking: NCES is developing these standards with a group of stakeholders and publishes drafts for several public review cycles.
A federal unit record system: CEDS is not a student record system.

WDQC PrioritiesIncluding All Students and PathwaysCounting Industry Recognized Credentials as well ‐
as DegreesAssessing Employment Outcomes for all
ParticipantsExpanding Use of Labor Market InformationEnsuring Appropriate Data Access and Use
WDQC Federal PrioritiesMake data expectations clear and consistent across
pending reauthorizationsRestructure federal funding for states’ development
of aligned education and workforce data systemsEncourage state participation in cross state sharing ‐
of employment data
WRIS2The Wage Record Interchange System (WRIS) facilitates the
exchange of wage data among participating states for the purpose of assessing and reporting on state and local employment and training program performance
WRIS2 extends the WRIS data sharing model to required One-Stop career center partner programs not under the jurisdiction of the Department of Labor and other appropriate partners
WRIS2 allows states to share their wage data in aggregate form with Third Party Entities
WRIS2Participation is voluntary and dependent on state laws
governing use of employment compensation informationGoal is all state participation – “Getting to 50”WDQC actions:
- Coalition of the willing - Convene states- State leaders - Demonstrate benefits- Agency guidance and incentives - Keep score- Individual state outreach
