Ep 10: A Conversation about Data for Good with Dr. Nicole Ponsford and Frances Akinde

What if the data we trust to serve our children is actually failing them? In this episode, Nic and Frances don't just challenge the way schools collect and use data — they make the case for a revolution. From baseline bias to the hidden incentives that keep marginalized students invisible, they expose how traditional data systems were never designed with every child in mind. But this isn't a story about what's broken. It's about what happens when you decide to make some good trouble — surfacing hidden voices, handing power back to the people the data is supposed to serve, and daring to measure what actually matters. If you've ever felt that the numbers don't tell the whole story, this conversation will change the way you think about data, inclusion, and what schools owe every child who walks through their doors.
