6 Steps for Putting Data into Action
Tochukwu Okoye
Learning Professional, v45 n5 p54-57 2024
Data is ubiquitous and inseparable from the human experience. It constantly informs and transforms interactions, decisions, and understanding. If the total amount of all the data created daily was printed on paper, it would fill a library the size of 110 Libraries of Congress. As a senior research consultant for an education market research and social impact consulting firm, the author has guided professional learning organizations in implementing continuous improvement strategies and frameworks while researching data-driven decision-making. This has fueled their enthusiasm about the transformative power of data in education and learning. Schools and the broader education system can benefit by embracing a data-backed culture that integrates science into decision-making, grounded in evidence rather than assumptions. The author has identified six strategies, which are presented in this article, to help educators build an insight driven culture for improving student outcomes: (1) Reorient mindsets and beliefs; (2) Include everyone; (3) Increase data collection ease and frequency; (4) Hold sensemaking and collective learning meetings; (5) Leverage existing expertise and technology; and (6) Spread ideas for scale.
