Culture
Denise
Strong data culture results when an organization believes in continuous improvement and regularly puts that belief into practice. Schools and districts that have strong data cultures emphasize collaboration as a keystone for success and they empower teachers (providers) and administrators (program leaders) to make decisions for which they will be held accountable. Elements of a strong data culture include commitment, vision, beliefs, accountability, collaboration, modeling, and commitment to ongoing instructional and programmatic improvements.

“Culture does not change because we desire to change it. Culture changes when the organization is transformed; the culture reflects the realities of people working together every day.” – Frances Hesselbein

7. Data Culture Toolkit https://dasycenter.org/data-culture-toolkit/
Gary (4-5 minutes per section)
Pull up the toolkit exploration sheet and review how it can help. Does not have to happen sequentially.
Toggle through each of the sections…referencing questions on the handout.
Talk about the format---blue text, navigation, similar structure. (If you are familiar with other toolkits ---exp data viz—you will know how to navigate this.)
Ask questions and answer questions as we go through. Feel free to open up toolkit or follow through with us. If you have a way that this is useful…please offer it. Post questions in the chat. We will limit the time in each section to me mindful of time. We would love to get your input.
All resources plus other applicable resources are the end.
-Gary to do intro---spend a few minutes on the infographic and the fact that building your team is the foundation and then you really move into the cyclical process—address who the toolkit is intended for and the broader applicability
-Gary to do resources tile—mention whale blog
-Denise to do teaming- Throw out the name of a data team you sit on in the context of your duties…state or local….
Review the 4 subtiles and focus on the teaming plan and worksheet
Now that you have seen this worksheet? How/when might you use this? If silence, then throw out some ideas.
-Denise to do assess tile—go through tile.—can you see how this would work with state and local?---talk more about how this should look familiar and how you will use it.
Gary to do the two remaining tiles
Critical Questions- consensus building, prioritizing input from stakeholders, mention subset for locals
Assess Data Quality– In general what area/dataset might you focus on your state or local area in terms of data quality---any specific data quality area??? Maybe transition? Other areas?
Does everyone (data team members, stakeholders, local staff) understand how to glean insights and actionable steps from data?
Do staff act on data or regularly share learnings from data?
Is data stored in a way that reporting can be done across the organization?
