The Gender Identity in Data Systems & Lifelong Learning Task Force:
is an open, collaborative, volunteer discussion group looking to provide education & information on gender identity, gender expression & sexual orientation and if needed, changes and updates to PESC Approved Standards.
In education all systems stakeholders must
know the exact answer to that question.
Societal changes in previously standardized
data have left many uncertain on what data
to request, collect, store, and report.
How can we ensure we are collecting
and managing the right data for
gender identity, gender expression
and sexual orientation?
How do we ensure we are following
the requirements for collecting
this data while maintaining privacy
and correct communication?
Several U.S. States & Canadian Provinces
are heavily considering if not already
passed and implemented specific laws
regarding collection and management
of gender identity, gender expression
and sexual orientation data.
To assist PESC Members & all stakeholders
in the student and learner ecosystem,
PESC establishes the
Gender Identity in Data Systems &
Lifelong Learning Task Force,
an open discussion forum looking to
provide education & information
on gender identity, gender expression
and sexual orientation;
and if needed, changes and updates to
PESC Approved Standards.
