How EdTech Data Helps Schools Personalize and Prepare - S2E13

Data is a key element that supports school districts in the journey from sight to vision. When used correctly, data increases our understanding of individual students’ strengths and needs, helps us create meaningfully personalized learning environments, and gives us the tools to put our goals within reach and make them achievable. Dr. Mary Levinsohn-Klyap, Coordinator of Data Literacy & Coaching for Howard County Public Schools in Maryland, is this episode’s featured guest. Mary discusses the critical importance of making meaning of data and the role data coaches can play in that process. They also dive deep into the humanity behind the data; how to interpret information with intention, leading to better personalization for students; how to create a data culture that supports instruction and achievement; and best practices for districts beginning to implement a new approach to edtech data.
