Schools are notoriously data-rich but information-poor. Though it can be unmanageable for educators in the age of COVID, data-use is crucial for shedding light on inequities. In this session, leaders will explore classroom and school-wide practices to enable equity-driven data-use and learning design.

Strategic data are required to design for equitable learning, but the deluge of data is challenging to navigate and competing priorities and tools in the age of COVID make data-use inaccessible. This session aims to share concrete practices for using data to support equitable, student-centered learning in any model, including distance learning. Attendees will leave with strategies for using data to understand gaps and resources for taking it further on their own.
The session will be successful if participants build their toolkit and gain confidence in utilizing and organizing data to ensure equity-driven data practices.
