The Problem

New teachers were overwhelmed by the school's data systems. They attended a 2-day orientation that covered policies and procedures but nothing about using data tools. By October, many still hadn't logged into the data platform. They attended data meetings but didn't contribute because they didn't know how to interpret the dashboards. Veteran teachers reported frustration that data meetings were slowed by having to re-explain fundamentals to new staff.

The Plan

1

Week 1: Account setup + guided platform tour

90-minute session with their actual roster loaded. Walk away with one functioning data wall.
