Data-Informed Impact Information

We believe leveraging data isn’t just about crunching numbers; it’s about telling stories. Through the right lens, educational data can tell the stories of our students’ growth, their triumphs, and the areas where they need additional support. Yet too often, such data can stir up a lot of fear, confusion, and skepticism for teachers and leaders alike – especially when it's only viewed (or treated) as a numbers game. But it’s not a game at all – in fact, it can be a collaborative opportunity waiting to happen. We believe that by letting data inform, but people drive, we can empower ourselves to make informed decisions that have a real impact on student outcomes. It can be a collaborative effort where everyone has a seat at the data table, and everyone gets their own little “data donut.” Unfortunately, there are very few data consulting companies in the world today – and most of them don’t take this holistic view. But we’re here to change that. As a former instructional coach, certified teacher with 10+ years in education, and a master’s degree in Learning and Technology, I’ve developed data expertise from the unique perspective of both the teaching side and the tech side. That’s what led me to found Data-Informed Impact in 2020 – to help data become a catalyst for more school success stories, including yours. There is immense potential of doing data differently so it guides, but doesn’t decide. When you do that, data can spark the right questions, invite teachers to the conversation, and lead to student success. And having partnered with 160+ schools and 70+ administrators, leaders, and teachers to do this thus far, we’re ready to give you all you need to fully benefit from both your data and your people’s potential. So, if you’ve been wanting to tell a new story for your school – one that’s defined by you and your teachers working together toward student impact, empowered by data’s insights and not constrained by them – we’ve got you.
