Advanced analytics don’t always have to involve a highly sophisticated model. Thomas Price and his team at Atlanta Public Schools developed a multi-variable predictive early warning system between 2015 and 2016, yet buy-in and usage from their targeted audience floundered. After sitting down with school teams and discussing what went wrong, it became apparent that the identification model t was more complicated than necessary. In this roundtable, learn how Thomas and his team revamped and simplified their early warning model to fit the needs of school administrators more directly.
