Session title:
The Development of P–20 Common Education Data Standards (CEDS) To Advance Education Research and Policy
Education Researchers Address Challenges of New P–20 Common Education Standards
In February 2012, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) released Version 2 of the Common Education Data Standards (CEDS). In this session, Jack Buckley, NCES Commissioner (U.S. Department of Education) presents the new standards and discusses how the CEDS project has been structured to develop a voluntary collaborative set of standards across stakeholder groups to support the development of consistent and comparable data through all education levels and sectors. A panel of education research experts examines the CEDS, considers the issues and challenges involved in adoption of such standards, and specifically addresses and illustrates how such standards can drive the advancement of scientific knowledge and of sound public policy related to education.
