Building upon the skills first taught in the prerequisite “Fundamentals of Using Data for Educators,” this online course applies the fundamental skills to an individual project that uses data. Participants will complete required readings, attend a weekly class, participate in online discussions, and complete a data project with the goal of using data in order to answer important questions for their district, school, or classroom. Two graduate credits are available for this course!
