In our first live-audience episode, hosted at Teachers College in New York City, we talk with Dr. Brandi Hinnant-Crawford (Clemson University), Dr. Ryan Baker (University of Pennsylvania), and Dr. Subriya Jubilee (School District of Philadelphia) about how data and analytics can be used to change rather than reinforce systemic inequities in schools and districts. Major themes in this episode include the importance of a people-centered perspective while using data (including both adults and students); the tools offered by improvement science for empowering educators to measure data points that are relevant and authentic; and the role of system design in limiting possible equity outcomes. Our panelists envision a future in which students are supported to achieve their goals without the barriers of inequitable systems–something that has never yet been accomplished in U.S. education. Special thanks to Dr. Alex Bowers for organizing the ELDA conference and this recording!
