Data Literacy Basics: From the Right Questions to the Right Actions

Overview

Data can be daunting, but it’s essential for advancing equity in our communities, understanding the effectiveness of programs, and making sense of how our world works. 

In this interactive workshop, we will work through the four steps involved in deepening your impact using data, including how to decide which data to use, where to find it, and how to put it to work. 

This course will be most effective when you bring a current idea or challenge you are having regarding data. To that end, prior to the start of the class, you will receive additional information to prepare.
