About the Data

 

The Career Education and Coursework (CE-C) dashboard provides two options for dashboard viewing: Student Participation Count (SPC dashboard)and Outcome Count (OC dashboard). Each dashboard has some unique Crosstabs Data Filters. They are indicated with the abbreviations (SPC) and (OC) in the Crosstabs Filters section below. 

Student Participation Count Snapshot Dashboard

This dashboard looks at the unique student count of participants in a program, meaning that students are not duplicated in any of the counts. It covers the program and coursework types in which the student participated with the highest outcome achieved for the program type. Use this dashboard to review student counts similar to those of the districts and school report cards.

Student Participation Count - Dynamic Crosstabs

There are three crosstabs available for the Student Participation Count dashboard: Technical Skills Attainment Student Participation, Advanced Credit Opportunities Student Participation, and Arts Student Participation. 

Student Participation Count - Data Quality Indicators

The CE-C Student Participation Count Snapshot Dashboard includes one Data Quality Indicator based on the current view of the data.

CE-C Student Participation Count Snapshot Dash Data Quality Indicator

1. School with No Career Ed Participants
This indicator displays the number of schools that include grade levels in the 9 thru 12 range but have not submitted any career education participants in either certified or non-certified programs. Cert/NonCert are labels typically used in a SIS to remind schools to complete one extra step of confirming the status of a Certified opportunity. Use the crosstabs Program Name/Type to identify student counts in Certified programs in the data. In your SIS review the students in these programs. Please ensure Certitificated Program Status Type, also referred to as Completion Status, is checked as the final step for each students Certified program area. Certified career education refers to Work-based Learning and Industry Recognized Credentials.

Outcome Count Snapshot Dashboard

This dashboard shows the number of programs participated in by students, meaning that a single student could be represented more than once in a given program count. This dashboard shows all values of passing status (not just the highest outcome) and certificated (i.e., certified) program status to the student being reviewed. Use this dashboard to review course titles and programs that have multiple outcomes reported throughout the school year.

If you are looking to analyze your CTE data, please use the Perkins dashboard. 

Outcome Count - Dynamic Crosstabs

There are two crosstabs available for the Outcome Count dashboard: Technical Skills Attainment Outcome Count, Advanced Credit Opportunities Outcome Count.

Outcome Count - Data Quality Indicators

The CE-C Outcome Count Snapshot Dashboard includes one Data Quality Indicator based on the current view of the data.

Dynamic Crosstabs Tips:

Frequently Asked Questions about Snapshot CE-C Data

 

1. What does the CE-C snapshot dashboard show me in general? The Student Participation Count and the Outcome Count dashboard both provide the tools to help districts prepare for the Career Education and Coursework snapshot (if any). The Current View (green) chart displays a single year of data, as determined by the current view year filter located in the left hand side ‘hamburger’ (three stacked lines) menu. The snapshot view (purple) chart displays a single year of Roster snapshot data as determined by the Snapshot View Year filter, also located in the left hand side drop down menu.

2. What does the Student Participation Count crosstabs show me, specifically? 

  • Technical Skills Attainment - Provides information on membership and completion status, when available, in one of the following Program Types: "Non Certified Career Education Program" or "Certified Career Education Program". Within the certified and non-certified career education program type, several program names exist. For each program type and program name combination, a student will appear in the count only once per school with the highest level of completion or certification earned across all programs of that combination. Use this dynamic crosstabs to review the following programs:

    • Industry Recognized Credentials (IRC)

    • School Based Enterprise

    • Simulated Worksite

    • State Co-op

    • Youth Apprenticeship

  • Advanced Credit Opportunities - Shows information about student enrollment in Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses as well as enrollment in Dual Enrollment coursework opportunities. A student will appear in the count only once per school with the most favorable (highest grade) passing status earned for each advanced credit opportunity type.

  • Arts Student Participation - Only viewable on the Student Participation Count dashboard (Not the Outcome Count), this crosstabs provides information on coursework grouped by Dance, Theater, Media Arts, Music, and Visual Arts. This crosstabs may be used to disaggregate student participation in the arts NCES subject area into the major areas of study. A student will appear once per school in the count for each area of study.

3. What does the Outcome Count crosstabs show me, specifically?

  • Technical Skills Attainment - provides information on membership in one of the following Program Types: "Non Certified Career Education Program", "Certified Career Education Program" or "State Endorsed Regional Career Pathway Program" (SERCP). SERCP data is available for 2018-19 and 2019-20 only. Be aware, student counts can be deceiving as a student can be a member of more than one program and a student can be shown even if the student is no longer a member of a given program. Use "Certificated Program Status" to help determine the status of the student.

  • Advanced Credit Opportunities - Shows information about student enrollment in Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate courses as well as enrollment in dual enrollment opportunities. Again, counts can be deceiving as a student can be counted more than once if: A student has more than one enrollment in any of these categories, more than one passing status was recorded for the student/course, the student has more than one enrollment record in a course OR the schools course structure allows for multiple student/course enrollments for the same course.
