Street Data: A new lens for seeing our learners

Have you heard about Street Data? Prior to a year and a half ago, neither had we. However, as our district was engaging in conversations around our post-pandemic “new normal”, we came across a book by Shane Safir and Dr. Jamila Dugan called “Street Data” that called to us because of its promises of addressing data considerations with equity in mind. In this episode of Data Lit, our listeners will get a taste of what this book is about as we summarize this new model for school transformation.

Research & Resources from the episode:

• Street Data: A Next-Generation Model for Equity, Pedagogy, and School Transformation

• Best Practices for Conducting Focus Groups

• Best Practices for Developing Collaborative Surveys 

• Quantitative & Qualitative Data: Why they matter in the classroom
