The  Oklahoma State Department of Education added new data to the Oklahoma School Report Card.  The additions, required under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, include data on teacher qualifications and information from the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC).

The CRDC measures student access to courses, programs, staff and resources that impact education “equity” and opportunities for students. It also includes measures of school climate and safety.

The U.S Department of Education conducts the CRDC every two years. The CRDC information added to the Oklahoma School Report Card is from school year 2017-18, which is the most recent collection available.  The latest CRDC data collection occurred this year, and data from that collection will be available next year.

The new teacher qualification data includes the amount of instruction students are receiving from different educator types like experienced or emergency certified.

Teacher qualification and CRDC data can be found at oklahschools.com.
