Topminnow LLC’s “Data Together” brings school-level data from various sources into one customized place, creating the opportunity for school leaders to use precise analysis to make more sophisticated, data-inspired decisions for their school and their students. Built for school leaders by school leaders, “Data Together” prioritizes customization to meet a school’s unique goals, meaningful data visualizations that make analysis more straightforward, and support and thought partnership from people who understand the context of school leadership.
Their data and analytics service and consultancy will allow school leaders to:
- Prepare data easily for DASH Plans, charter renewals, and/or grant applications
- More easily and precisely pinpoint what the school does well, and clearly and collaboratively decide on high leverage focus areas, building or growing a professional culture around shared goals
- Ask meaningful questions that were previously incredibly difficult to answer, such as: “What is the correlation between STEM G.P.A. and SAT performance for my Hispanic female students?”
- Tell the real story of the school in ways that align with mission-specific goals
They do this by:
- Working with school leaders to integrate the most important high-level data and unique metrics ‒ including mission- and charter-specific goals ‒ to capture the context and nuance of the outcomes they’re working to improve and the story they’re trying to tell
- Building a customized, integrated master spreadsheet with cleaned and validated data that are updated eight times throughout the school year (beginning of year, end of formative assessments, end of terms)
- Creating customized and sophisticated reporting tools that give school leaders access to unprecedented levels of precise information
- Building the capacity of school leadership teams and educators to rigorously analyze data and engage in collaborative meaning-making to turn data into actionable insights that support improved outcomes for students and school culture
Regardless of your school model or what matters most to your school community, Topminnow can support your data-inspired decision-making journey to help you to get sustainable breakout results.
