These data are intended to be useful for policymaking at the federal, state, and local levels.  \nThe National Forum on Education Statistics (Forum) is an entity of the Cooperative System and, among its other activities, proposes principles of good practice to assist state and local education agencies (SEAs and LEAs) in meeting this purpose. The Cooperative System and the Forum are supported in these endeavors by resources from NCES.  \nPublications of the Forum do not undergo the same formal review required for products of NCES.

(2025). Collecting and Using Data About the Educator Workforce (NFES 2026-002) . U.S. Department of Education. Washington, DC: National Center for Education Statistics.  \nForeword  \nThe purpose of this document is to help education agencies identify the types of workforce data that are most useful for understanding immediate teacher shortages and monitoring educator supply and demand, as well as best practices for using these data. This resource supplements the information in the Forum Guide to Staff Records (2021), which was developed to help education agencies effectively collect and manage staff data, protect the privacy of staff data, and ensure that requests for data access and data releases are managed appropriately. That guide included a discussion of types of staff records, updated best practices for data collection and management, and case studies from SEAs and LEAs. While the 2021 guide briefly discusses the types of data that are useful for understanding educator supply and demand—such as licensure, certification, and teaching assignment data—it more broadly addresses all types of data included in staff records. This supplemental resource delves specifically into questions around data related to educator workforce supply and demand while building on the best practices and privacy protections outlined in the Forum Guide to Staff Records.  \nThis guide focuses mainly on SEA and LEA educator workforce data, but a few federal education resources are also highlighted throughout. Additional federal resources are provided in the appendices.  \nPublication Objectives  \nThis resource is intended to:  \n• identify common types of educator workforce data that are important for federal, state, and local reporting;  \n• describe how SEAs and LEAs communicate about educator shortages, as well as how they determine which information is critical to share;  \n• discuss solutions to and lessons learned in addressing workforce data-related challenges,  \nsuch","cbCaisOJlaHla1tz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisOJlaHla1tz","pdf",1751651,"English","# Publication Objectives\n# Intended Audience\n# Development of Forum Products","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this forum guide?\",\"answer\":\"It helps education agencies identify the most useful types of workforce data for understanding immediate teacher shortages and monitoring educator supply and demand, along with best practices for using those data.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is the primary audience for the guide?\",\"answer\":\"Staff responsible for collecting, reporting, analyzing, or using educator workforce data at the local, state, and national levels.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of topics does the guide address?\",\"answer\":\"Common types of educator workforce data, how agencies communicate about shortages and select critical information to share, solutions and lessons learned for workforce data challenges, and case studies from states and districts.\"}]","Forum Guide to Collecting and Using Data About the Educator Workforce | PDF",1792057166,101]
