Data Standard 6 - Preview 1

The Ed-Fi Alliance has adopted a cadence of releasing breaking changes to the Ed-Fi Data Standard on alternating years. 2025 is such a year and the next release of the Ed-Fi Data Standard - and consequently the Ed-Fi Resources API - will be labeled version 6.0. With a release date months away in Q4, we are inviting early commentary on the changes made to date, in two domains:

  1. Merge the Educator Preparation Data Model (EPDM, fka TPDM) into the core Ed-Fi Data Standard, and expand it to include a new use case around apprenticeships.
  2. Enhance the data model to better support student record transfer, particularly for IEP data as a student moves from one school to another.

For more details, including a snapshot of the Open API specification (aka Swagger file), please see RFC 27 - Data Standard 6.0 (Preview 1)
