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.
