Strategic Data Project Convening 2019

In this roundtable, we will dream of a utopia where all decisions are made using data and all the data is always available, instantaneously, at one’s finger tips….and then we talk about what to do in real life. At Relay Graduate School of Education, we believe that data-driven decisions are the key to continuous improvement. Over the past two years, SDP Fellow Daniel Stuckey has worked to enhance data-driven culture by creating an ecosystem of strategies to improve data infrastructure and provide staff with the access, time, and skills they need to use data for programmatic improvements. In this session, Daniel will discuss the Relay playbook, which leverages dashboards, data days, and data governance to increase data-driven culture. He will reflect on strategies for change management, coalition-building, and prototyping that are fundamental to the work. And he will talk in depth about efforts to make valuable incremental changes to our data infrastructure in the short term while simultaneously making a game-changing investment in an operational store aligned to the Ed-Fi teacher preparation data model.
