Today's educators work in data rich environments. They interact with multiple systems in any given day, and often have questions about how this data can be used or moved but lack the time to delve into the details. DatabasED distills the complexities of data processes and analysis into terms and concepts that educators are familiar with and can connect with their day to day practice (and will occasionally provide a venue for data nerds to nerd out over related topics).

So you think you’re not a “data person”: Ryan Estrellado on creating communities with data and data science

In this episode, we talk with educational consultant, data scientist, book author, podcast host, and former educational psychologist Ryan Estrellado about living in the Venn diagrams of overlapping professional communities and finding your (our) place in those intersections. We talk about practical strategies for working with educators who have a wide variety of interests in data and specifically tools for data analysis, and about breaking down common misconceptions about data analysis or data science as it can be used to answer real questions in local educational settings. Although we had planned to focus the episode on Ryan's new book, we accidentally ended up spending an entire hour discussing about unusual professional trajectories and how data and coding have influenced all of us (for the better). Some day we will do another episode where we actually talk about Ryan's book, but in the meantime, we recommend that you go ahead and check it out! The content is truly accessible to all educators, wherever you happen to be in terms of your data journey (whether that journey was embarked upon voluntarily or otherwise).
