Early Childhood Model Working V2

CEDS Analysis (Select link to skip to CEDS analysis)

May 20, 2022

​

Updated Assumptions

• For Public Pre-K in schools, the data will come in via the SIS and should use the core Ed-Fi K-12 model (possibly with extended attributes)
• Public Pre-K can also be offered in CommunityProviders; the data may or may not come from the SIS
• Special Education Services 3-21 (Part B) are normally provided in public schools – but may be done by community providers
• B-3 (Part C) is normally provided by the DHHS – but is being shifted to DOE in some states
• Students may receive Special Ed services without being enrolled
• New domain entities will be developed to support early learning services by Community Providers that is collected by the states

​

Draft �Entity Model

Early Childhood Entity Model Overview

• A new StudentCommunityProviderAssociation is the analogous enrollment entity to the StudentSchoolAssociation
• A new StudentEducationOrganizationEarlyChildhoodAssociation is the analogous demographics and characteristics entity to the StudentEducationOrganizationAssociation
• Programs (and the associated StudentProgramAssociations) are used to reflect different early learning programs offered in both schools and community providers
• Attendance is collected using the StudentProgramAttendanceEvent
• The Assessment domain is used to hold screening, summative and formative assessments

​

Early Childhood Entity Model – �What it does not use in the core Ed-Fi model

• Sessions, Terms, School Calendar, Bell Schedule
• Sections, Course Offering, Courses, Learning Standards
• Interventions
• Discipline Incidents, Discipline Actions
• Report Card, Grades, Gradebook, Student Academic Record, Graduation
• Finance
• Cohort, Survey
• Staff (except for public pre-K)
• Is there a student-teacher link for Pre-K?

​

CommunityOrganization & CommunityProvider

• CommunityOrganization
• The umbrella organization
• Sixpence, Head Start, …
• Or perhaps a company with several providers
• CommunityProvider
• Where children are served
• A CommunityProvider does not have to belong to a CommunityOrganization
• ProviderCategory = Public Setting/Public Funding, Private Setting/Public Funding, Private Setting/Private Funding

​

Early Learning Programs

• Program
• ProgramName= “Early Learning Program” (or specific name if multiple types of programs)
• ProgramSponsor = funding source (ECAP, Head Start, Early Head Start, Grant Funded, etc.)
• EducationOrganization Reference = refer to organization offering the Early Learning Program
• StudentEarlyLearningProgramAssociation
• EarlyLearningSetting = Center-based, School-based, Home visitation
• ClassCurriculum
• EarlyLearningHoursPerWeek

StudentEducationOrganizationEarlyChildhoodAssociation

• Holds student characteristics and demographics particular to early childhood and NOT in the StudentEducationOrganizationAssociation
• Both the StudentEducationOrganizationAssociation and StudentEducationOrganizationEarlyChildhoodAssociation are collected as part of the enrollment process for PK by both Schools and CommunityProviders
• Can also be used for K enrollments that collect the early childhood data
• Candidate attributes
• Student reference
• EducationOrganization reference
• LowBirthWeight
• MedicalCareSource
• IncomeRange
• PriorChildCare
• PriorProvider
• Prior Class
• FamilyLiteracyServices
• FamilyLiteracyYear – ChildParticipation

Some Questions and Open Items

• Public Pre-K can also be offered by an ESC – should it be treated as a CommunityProvider or a School run by the ESC?
• Verify daily attendance is taken and recorded – are the attendance events for EC?
• Need to ask the field for what attributes are needed (those in this presentation were taken from various state inputs)
• Need candidate descriptor values
• What are the source systems for Community Provider data?

CEDS Analysis

• Note – CEDS has a very different underlying entity model from Ed-Fi, more categorizations rather then entities with natural keys
• Ed-Fi seeks to have parity with the attribute names as much as it makes sense
• Need the Ed-Fi EC SEA community to select those areas (and those attributes) that
• Match their requirements for data to be gathered
• Have specific, endorsed data use cases
• Have sight to the operationalization of the data
• Have identified source systems for the data
