Storytelling Through Data

Data Driven approaches are promoted and discussed often, but what does implementing an effective data driven strategy look like? Attendees will learn how to design metrics and track data in a way that reflects success in the context of their school’s mission and their unique student populations. This workshop will provide guidance for creating alternative metrics, go through examples of how internal metrics can supplement state dashboard data, and conclude with a walk through of questions and processes to follow in order to implement effective tracking and use of data.
