Are you a Grades K-12 Administrator?

Yes? Great, I've got a couple questions for you...

→ Are your students struggling with data on their state science and math tests?

→ Are your teachers confused by what data skills to teach, when vs what they should already know?

→ Are you wondering how to help your teachers integrate data for better sensemaking into their core instruction on top of everything else they need to teach?

Students need to build these critical data skills, while also learning our content. We know your plate, as well as your teachers, is already full, so let us help make this easy and effective for you throughout the rest of this school year. 

Every month, we host free virtual professional learning designed to help teachers and administrators bring meaningful data sensemaking into their classrooms, schools, and districts. Whether you’re brand-new to teaching with data or already weaving it into instruction, our sessions offer practical, classroom-ready tools you can use right away.

What Can You Expect? Meeting You Where You Are:

📅 Strategy Share Out (Live, 1 hour)

Our Strategy Share Out offers hands-on, themed activities that help educators deepen students’ data sensemaking skills.

 Each session includes:

✔ Classroom and school-ready strategies

We feature routines, Do Now/Exit Ticket activities, and data protocols that teachers can lead with their students — along with guidance administrators can use to support their staff.

 ✔ Differentiated content for teachers and administrators

Each month has a clear theme, and we tailor examples and discussions to match the needs of participants that month.

 ✔ Practical for all experience levels

We anchor strategies in skills expected of middle school learners and adjust up or down based on the student realities of who’s in the room. Experience varies widely — and that’s okay. We meet you where you are.

 ✔ Early-access resources when you register

Participants receive a resource document with:

• Slide deck
• Full recording (before it goes public)
• Downloadable materials
• Links to additional resources
• Updates based on the live discussion

 ✔ Open to anyone

Teachers, administrators, specialists, coaches, and district leaders are all welcome.

 🎥 Ask Me Anything (Recorded, 20–30 minutes)

Have a question about the month’s theme? Or any data-related question? Submit it!

 We gather questions through our:

• Live Strategy Share Out
• Quick “Ask Us” online submission form: https://dataspire.tiny.us/ask-us 
• Social media channels: LinkedIn; Facebook; Facebook Group; or YouTube
• Email: [email protected]

 Then we answer them during a short, focused recorded Ask Me Anything, which we publish on our YouTube channel the Tuesday following each Strategy Share Out.

 Together, let's continue advancing education for our students, one actionable data skill at a time.
