As we prepare to dive into the dynamic and insightful world of data storytelling, we ask that you complete the following prework. This foundational material will equip you with essential knowledge and perspectives that will enhance your participation and learning during our virtual convening.

As you engage with these resources, consider the following:

• Reflect on Current Practices: How are you currently using data in your educational environment? What are the challenges and successes you’ve experienced with data interpretation?

• Think of Applications: How might the principles of data storytelling enhance your ability to communicate your findings and influence decisions at your school?

There is no need to submit your reflections formally, but please come prepared to discuss your thoughts and any questions you might have during the virtual convening.
