Description

Schools are drowning in data—test scores, benchmarks, walkthrough rubrics, behavior logs—and yet half the time, it feels like we’re just checking boxes instead of actually learning anything from it.


In this episode, we’re unpacking the difference between collecting data because you have to and using data because it helps you lead. From simplifying what you track, to asking better questions, to closing the loop with teachers, these strategies will help you turn data from noise into direction.


Because data isn’t powerful because you collect it—it’s powerful because you use it.


If you’ve been buried in spreadsheets but starving for insight, start here. This episode will help you turn data into a compass that actually points your school where it needs to go.
