CSFP’s Annual State Profile Reports

CSFP’s Annual State Profile Reports

The 2021 State Profile compares audited data noting changes between 2019-20 to the base year of 1992. Data is audited which lags behind the current year. It is important to know that this data is pre-pandemic data. The 2019-20 school year is a good base year for looking at enrollment numbers for student populations when thinking about discussions around 5 year averaging for school districts. 

Three reports from the state profile data:

Prepare for the 2022 Teaching and Learning Conditions survey - now including Education Support Professionals

Prepare for the 2022 Teaching and Learning Conditions survey - now including Education Support Professionals

The 2022 Teaching and Learning Conditions Colorado (TLCC) survey launches Wednesday, Jan. 19. This anonymous online survey of all school-based licensed educators and education support professionals promotes discussions in schools and districts about instruction, planning time, professional development, school improvement and related policy issues.

CDE will send headcount numbers based upon data from the 2020-21 Human Resources Collection to accountability contacts and human resource contacts. These count estimates will help determine the number of codes to send each school for staff to access the survey. Districts must confirm the numbers by Friday, Dec. 3.

Schools and districts must have at least 50% participation to view their own data. Inaccurate counts could result in an interference with schools getting their TLCC survey data back.

For more information on the survey, including changes from previous years, are available on the TLCC website.
