The Title II, Part A office has officially launched the Educator Equity Data Collection Tool (EE-Tool) application for SY 18–19 to monitor teacher qualifications, including certification, endorsements, teaching assignments, and years of experience as required by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

SY 18–19 data is currently available in the tool. The data displayed is aggregated based on a Local Education Agency’s current Comprehensive Education Data and Research System (CEDARS) and S-275 reports, Electronic Certification data, and Professional Education Standards Board Assignment Rules.
