Today is International Technical Analysis Day!
One of our core values is Acting on Data — because data isn’t just numbers, it's a powerful tool for insight, clarity, and impact.
These quotes from our staff said it best:
“Data is a way to cut through the overwhelm of continuous improvement. It shows us where needs exist, whether we’re making progress, and where we should pause to celebrate.”
“When we use it thoughtfully, we create a clearer picture of our students and their needs... helping every student feel seen, supported, and capable of success.”
Let's continue to turn information into meaningful action and use data to drive positive change for every student, every day.
📚 Happy International Literacy Day!
