Data-driven decision making has been critical for educators since the dawn of accountability. This need hasn’t diminished over time, in fact, following the recent pandemic, the need for reliable data to help address learning gaps has actually increased. This edWebinar highlights not only the importance of keeping data at the heart of instructional leadership, but also the need to have a well-designed data strategy.

School districts face many challenges when approaching the use of data, including what data to collect and how to connect data sources together to create accurate conclusions. This edWebinar addresses those challenges and provides practical strategies for districts or schools of any size.

Every viewer leaves with expanded knowledge on data strategy, resources for follow up, and the ability to embrace thinking in a systems view of data across the organization. They also leave with practical next steps for using existing resources and how to start building processes based on existing systems and data sets.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers, school and district leaders, instructional coaches, department heads, TOSAs, and teacher leaders.
