Given today’s rapidly changing education environment, strong data practices have never been more important. No matter what form your school district takes this year (online, in-class, or hybrid) getting the right data when and where you need it most will play a critical role in making actionable decisions as well as creating great educational experiences for your students. The stakes have never been higher for solid data practices, and data is your solution.
