Program Information

The Program Information domain in Ed-Fi models:

  • educational programs
  • student participation in programs
  • services provided through programs
  • program governance and reporting

 

This domain is essential for tracking the following program information:

  • Title I
  • English Learner (EL/ESL)
  • National School Lunch Program
  • Homeless services
  • Kansas Parents as Teachers Program
  • Kansas Pre-K Pilot Program

 

The domain answers questions like:

  • What programs exist?
  • Which students participate?
  • When did participation begin/end?
  • What services were delivered?
  • Who is accountable?

 

Core Conceptual Architecture

The Program domain is relationship-driven.

At a high level:

Program

 ├── Program Type

 └── StudentProgramAssociation

        └── Student Participation

 

Program vs Demographic Distinction

Very important architectural concept.

 

Demographic Example

Student ethnicity

is generally stable.

 

Program Example

English Learner participation is:

  • time-bound
  • service-related
  • operational

 

Why This Matters

Programs require:

  • begin/end dates
  • accountability
  • eligibility tracking

Demographics generally do not.
