Why Connect
EDFacts and
CEDS?
Goals of Connection Effort
• Use Connect tool to clarify the student or teacher level elements
which ED believes would be needed for high quality reporting
• ED publication of a “list of ingredients”
• Develop supports to enable other states to do what ED and seven
pilot states have done
• Enable CEDS Connect as a place for online discussion
• Create an online forum where EDFacts coordinators can quickly
access and review information on how EDFacts data are being
processed and reported in other states
