SDP Institutes for Leadership in Analytics: Past Workshops

Pathways to and Through College

This workshop helped participants understand general student pathways to and through postsecondary education. Attendees used mock data to explore patterns in student pathways to and through postsecondary education, review the key research on postsecondary access and success, and discuss research-backed interventions that can help support the success of all students. Following this workshop, attendees were equipped to conduct these analyses in their own contexts.

Thursday, October 31st and November 14th, 2024

1:00pm – 5:00pm ET 

Data Visualization and Communication

Data doesn’t matter if no one sees it, understands it, and uses it. And when K12 students still have four to five months of unfinished learning from the pandemic and 3 in 5 college students report basic needs insecurity, it’s important we use every resource at our disposal to make sure educators at every level can support the learners who need it most. This course trained education data leaders to share data effectively and strategically to inspire action. 

Tuesday, July 9 – Thursday July 18, 2024

11:00 am – 4:30pm ET

This was BY FAR the best PD experience I've had since I've worked in education! Thank you for putting together such an amazing, smart, and well-designed program. I'm leaving Harvard ready to make positive change back home.
